== Ace villager ==

== Deletion of Taxi ==
  
Hey,Drago, I did a little edit about Ace the villager, you know the one from Animal Crossing, I have puuted new names for Ace from the ones that were N/A, Oh and also I putted his birthday , is that ok? --[[User:ACNHelper2435|ACNHelper2435]] ([[User talk:ACNHelper2435|talk]]) 20:45, February 19, 2021 (EST)ACNHelper2435

As per consensus of [[Talk:Taxi]], I've moved the text of [[Taxi]] to [[Transportation#In_Animal_Crossing:_Wild_World|Transportation]].
:If "N/A" is in the other language names section, it means they do not have a name in that language; {{PG}}, the only game Ace is in, was never released in Korean for example, so he does not have a Korean name. Also, villagers who only appear in the original game do not have birthdays, although looking at the edit history, you never actually did add a birthday.

However, I do not know how to delete the original page. Nor do I think I want to, haha..
  
Well, idk if it does work this way but I want to ask you to not undo my edits on Astrena's page, he is my dear friend and I just uploaded his goal as completed, since he can't anymore... thank you :c [[User:Simew|Simew]] ([[User talk:Simew|talk]]) 16:59, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

:While you did not have bad intentions adding that edit, users are not typically allowed to edit other members' user pages (see [[Nookipedia:Policy]], "User page content" section).

==can you change my name==
  
So on [[Nookipedia:Policy]], it states that a name change can only be done once every six months.

Hi can you change my name two froggypotter?? {{Unsigned|Charmander123}}
  
Does this also apply if the rename in question is a relatively minor change (for example, I want my name to be changed to '''The Jacketed Terrapin''', which, besides the addition of the word "The", doesn't differ that much to my current username)?

== Trivia on Animal City: ==
+
:Here is the timeline:
 +
:*December 6, 2021: Your first account was named "Nook Gamer 333."
 +
:*January 8, 2022: On {{U|Kalina70}} and {{U|Vivian}}'s talk pages, you requested your account to be renamed to "ToadFan700." Neither party was able to rename you as the renaming tool is reserved to directors and bureaucrats, but {{U|Drago}} noticed the situation, renamed you to "ToadFan700," and [[User talk:ToadFan700|notified you]] that he renamed your account.
 +
:*October 22, 2022: You created a new account called "Animal crossing Fan."
 +
:*December 7, 2022: As "Animal crossing Fan," and on {{U|AlexBot2004}}'s talk page, you requested your account to be renamed to "Eevee." AlexBot2004 renamed your account and notified you.
 +
:*April 7, 2023: On AlexBot2004's talk page, you requested that your account name, "Eevee," to be renamed to "April." He renamed you to "April." This was unusually a 4-month period, but he made an allowance, as he had not mentioned the 6-month wait period for the first name change, and notified you of the name change + 6-month wait period for new name changes. Not long later that day, you notified me on my talk page (via an anonymous IP address) that you had lost access to your password to your account named April and asked for advice. But before I had the chance to reply, you created a new account named "Spring."
 +
:*April 8, 2023: Due to the unique circumstances, I asked you on your Spring talk page if you wanted your username at the time, "Spring," to be renamed back to "April," or if you wanted to continue using "Spring" instead. You agreed that you wanted your previous name back, so I renamed you back to "April." At this time, [[User talk:April|I gave you advice to link your account to your email]], so as not to lose access to another Nookipedia account again.
 +
:*April 13, 2023: You lost access to April, notified AlexBot2004 of all of your previous account names, and you created the account named "Charmander123."
 +
:*July 25, 2023: You asked to be renamed to "froggypotter."
  
Why did You Remove the Trivia I Added too the Animal City page?
+
:Especially since the 6-month wait period has not been reached, there is no way you can be renamed at this point in time. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 18:02, July 27, 2023 (EDT)

Hi! I am doing my final project for University about the english to spanish translation of the quotes in AC. Since I am not native, I do not understand some English quotes and I am looking for help! I am analysing Koi quotes and I don't know what does exactly mean "I caught a koi! I don't know why it's so shy... or such a bad speller..." I believe that the shy is because of the word "coy" but I don't understand the bad speller thing...
+
== "Names in other languages" translations ==
  
Thank you!
+
Hey Drago, I want to ask, if let's say translations on all languages lead to the same meaning, for example, the K.K. Slider song "I Love You", or any villager species like the birds, is it okay to retain those meanings in "Names in other languages", or should it be removed? Thanks in advance. <span style="background:linear-gradient(0deg,blue,cyan); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''''[[User:Starry Windy|Starry Windy]]'''''</span>[[User talk:Starry Windy|<span style="color:gold">★</span>]] 12:11, August 27, 2023 (EDT)

:Sorry for the last reply (I'm not an expert on this subject). I agree that it seems odd that all those languages have the same meaning. You may want a second opinion, but I'm leaning towards removing those meanings.

:To my understanding for the "bad speller" part of the joke: It's understood that the fish's name is "koi." But the narrator is (potentially purposely) misunderstanding the fish's name to be the literal word "coy." Since the narrator is assuming/pretending the fish's name is "coy," they interpret the fish's real name "koi" as the misspelling. The joke is that this is of course incorrect, a koi is a "koi" and has nothing to do with the word "coy" which it happens to sound like.

:All translations should remain even if it's redundant.

:Sure! From what I can tell, you only have four personal images anyway, but I don't usually start asking people to stop uploading more until they have ten.

== Some help with wikitable ==
 
  
So I'm planning to add a section on my "List of Villager Names Across Languages" that lists which names have been used by both standard villagers and special characters.
+
== Question ==
  
I'm trying to find a way to handle cases where one name was used by either multiple villagers and one special character, one villager and multiple special characters, or both multiple villagers and special characters, but I just cannot seem to find the specific code I'm looking for.
+
hi how so you become a member of staff?? {{Unsigned|FroggyPotter}}

:Full requirements and advice are [[Nookipedia:Staff/Apply|here]], but I'd recommend gaining more experience with editing (and our policies, since part of being a staff member is enforcing them) before applying. Hope this helps!

Here's a mock-up for what kind of code I'm looking for: https://i.imgur.com/xBWG04g.png (For the record, there aren't any real cases of Example 4 yet, but I still want to know what to do should the time come; I also apologize for the unprofessional quality of the image, since it was made with MS Paint , but I simply do not have the money or time to access anything better, so this is the best I could do; Lastly, the names and villagers listed are not official characters and were simply created for the sake of example)
+
ok i read the policies but when it says Use of the second person ('you' or 'we') is discouraged, and any instances of this in an article should be replaced with 'the player' or the pronoun 'they' what dose it mean (sorry for using copy and paste).[[User:FroggyPotter|FroggyPotter]] ([[User talk:FroggyPotter|talk]]) 13:13, September 4, 2

==About becoming staff==
 +
So, lately, I have considered becoming a staff on Nookipedia. I am trying to meet the criteria so I can apply. Just for reference, how many edits did you have when you applied for staff?[[User:Acnh Player|Acnh Player]] ([[User talk:Acnh Player|talk]]) 20:08, March 25, 2024 (EDT)
 +
:It was only a few hundred if I recall correctly, but this was 10 years ago when Nookipedia had less active editors, and was therefore in need of new staff. I wouldn't recommend posting an application as soon as you meet the criteria, since those requirements are merely there to stop new editors applying straight after making an account. Also, keep in mind that some of your edits have had to be reverted so I'm not sure an application would succeed in the short term. I'd recommend gaining a lot more experience on Nookipedia; there's no need to rush!

== The wiki probably isn’t the place to ask so I always wanted to ask this in discord DM’s but couldn’t find a person to talk to ==
 
 
 
but I was banned from the Nookipedia discord server during March 2021 because I intentionally joined to act like an incredibly big douche (although there is a particular reason why I acted the way back then, or why I dm’d people on other niwa servers to ask which country they live in and other personal questions).
 
 
 
If you're ok with me discussing my behavior back then here (and my specific reason for acting the way I did), I am willing to do so but I figured it would just be more appropriate in DMs. I did dm {{User|SuperHamster}} on discord about this during the beginning of November 2022 but he never got back to me.
 
 
 
I deserved the ban from the server but I felt bad about my previous actions enough that I decided to help out with the wiki to make up for my discord server behavior. If the mods here decide to unban me, I won't act the way I did before ever again but I expect that you'll say no to unbanning me because I figured I was enough of a troublemaker enough across other NIWA servers that I don't deserve a second chance.

Deletion of Taxi[edit]

As per consensus of Talk:Taxi, I've moved the text of Taxi to Transportation.

However, I do not know how to delete the original page. Nor do I think I want to, haha..

Could I ask you to look into this?? - Speedy ( Talk - Contributions - Log ) 10:37, June 17, 2023 (EDT)

I redirected the original page to Transportation. Thanks for taking care of this! Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:43, June 17, 2023 (EDT)

can you change my name[edit]

Hi can you change my name two froggypotter?? - unsigned comment from Charmander123 (talkcontribs)

I'm very sorry, but I can't unfortunately. It requires a bureaucrat (like most things here :P) to change usernames. Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:30, July 26, 2023 (EDT)
Here is the timeline:
  • December 6, 2021: Your first account was named "Nook Gamer 333."
  • January 8, 2022: On Kalina70 and Vivian's talk pages, you requested your account to be renamed to "ToadFan700." Neither party was able to rename you as the renaming tool is reserved to directors and bureaucrats, but Drago noticed the situation, renamed you to "ToadFan700," and notified you that he renamed your account.
  • October 22, 2022: You created a new account called "Animal crossing Fan."
  • December 7, 2022: As "Animal crossing Fan," and on AlexBot2004's talk page, you requested your account to be renamed to "Eevee." AlexBot2004 renamed your account and notified you.
  • April 7, 2023: On AlexBot2004's talk page, you requested that your account name, "Eevee," to be renamed to "April." He renamed you to "April." This was unusually a 4-month period, but he made an allowance, as he had not mentioned the 6-month wait period for the first name change, and notified you of the name change + 6-month wait period for new name changes. Not long later that day, you notified me on my talk page (via an anonymous IP address) that you had lost access to your password to your account named April and asked for advice. But before I had the chance to reply, you created a new account named "Spring."
  • April 8, 2023: Due to the unique circumstances, I asked you on your Spring talk page if you wanted your username at the time, "Spring," to be renamed back to "April," or if you wanted to continue using "Spring" instead. You agreed that you wanted your previous name back, so I renamed you back to "April." At this time, I gave you advice to link your account to your email, so as not to lose access to another Nookipedia account again.
  • April 13, 2023: You lost access to April, notified AlexBot2004 of all of your previous account names, and you created the account named "Charmander123."
  • July 25, 2023: You asked to be renamed to "froggypotter."
Especially since the 6-month wait period has not been reached, there is no way you can be renamed at this point in time. HylianAngel (talk) 18:02, July 27, 2023 (EDT)

Deletion?[edit]

You put on my talk page that I can’t take information from Wikipedia or copy with small changes. Now that I’m aware of that, can I delete it? Yoshi155 (Talk) 14:57, August 1, 2023 (EDT)

I already undid the edits you made that took information from Wikipedia, so you don't need to worry about having to remove it yourself. Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 05:21, August 2, 2023 (EDT)
Sorry for replying so late and not being specific, but I meant the notice on my talk page. Also, can you delete the two webp images I uploaded? There’s a barred knifejaw catch webp image and a squid catch one. Yoshi155 (Talk) 14:39, August 11, 2023 (EDT)
Sadly, the policy states that other users' messages can't be removed (with the exception of vandalism or personal attacks). I'll remove those images if you want, but it might be better to convert them to a higher quality file type. PNG is the preferred format, but webp is discouraged (but not prohibited completely). Hope this helps! Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 12:12, August 12, 2023 (EDT)
I don’t think I have a higher quality version of the pictures, so I think it would be better if you removed them.Yoshi155 (Talk) 16:15, August 12, 2023 (EDT)
Alright, I've removed them. Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:50, August 13, 2023 (EDT)

Question[edit]

So since I lost acsess to Charmander7 account, I made this one. I punched in the first name I thought of. Hypothetically, could I ask someone to change my name to something else? Just because this name isn't really what I want SunsetBay 10:17, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

You could ask a bureaucrat, but it might be rejected because your old account was renamed on April 15, 2023. You can only have one rename every six months. Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:40, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

hi can you do me a favor??[edit]

please can you block Mickeyminniegoofydonald because of his user page i looks like cranston the blocked user. FroggyPotter (talk)

We're considering blocking all of Cranston's suspected sockpuppets, but I'm waiting for admin consensus. Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 11:30, August 18, 2023 (EDT)

Ty can you join me club??? FroggyPotter (talk)

Database error?[edit]

Hi Drago, while I was browsing on the villagers' page quite recently, for some reason I caught the Database Error notice when loading Twiggy's page (even though refreshing the page gets rid of the message). Is this error just a minor bug with nothing to worry about, or is it something else? Starry Windy 12:35, August 18, 2023 (EDT)

I'm not seeing that error at the moment, but I think I have seen it before. As it's a technical issue, I'd recommend asking Jake! Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 14:42, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

RE:Cranston's account[edit]

It was my sister apparently for a "prank" but I got blocked for no reason. SunsetBay 13:21, August 23, 2023 (EDT)

Low quality images[edit]

I uploaded 3 png images, but the pages have notices that say they’re blurry. I do have higher quality versions but they’re jpgs, so it won’t let me upload them as new versions of the files. What should I do? Yoshi155 (Talk) SMW Yoshi Egg Sprite.png 14:44, August 24, 2023 (EDT)

If that's the case you'll probably have to upload the new ones separately, unfortunately. If you like, you can tag the low-quality ones for deletion afterwards and we'll take care of it! Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:22, August 25, 2023 (EDT)
How do I tag a page for deletion? Also, unrelated, but I deleted my Welcome on my talk page when I got it because I didn’t know it counted as a user talk message, so I don’t know what to do about this either. Yoshi155 (Talk) SMW Yoshi Egg Sprite.png 20:31, August 25, 2023 (EDT)
You can tag a page for deletion with Template:Delete. There's full details on how to use the template if you use the link in my previous sentence; hope this helps! Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 14:03, August 26, 2023 (EDT)

"Names in other languages" translations[edit]

Hey Drago, I want to ask, if let's say translations on all languages lead to the same meaning, for example, the K.K. Slider song "I Love You", or any villager species like the birds, is it okay to retain those meanings in "Names in other languages", or should it be removed? Thanks in advance. Starry Windy 12:11, August 27, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry for the last reply (I'm not an expert on this subject). I agree that it seems odd that all those languages have the same meaning. You may want a second opinion, but I'm leaning towards removing those meanings. Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 12:21, August 28, 2023 (EDT)
All translations should remain even if it's redundant. A hyphen indicates that the original foreign name does not have a translation, or in the case of given names, that it does not have a meaning associated with it. HylianAngel (talk) 14:14, August 28, 2023 (EDT)
Okay, thanks for all of your advice, Drago and HylianAngel :) Starry Windy 23:49, August 28, 2023 (EDT)


Question[edit]
