Age limit
Is there an age limit for the bulletin board forums? --Pachisu123 (talk) 19:46, October 22, 2015 (EDT)
- Hi! Unfortunately due to U.S. law, we do have to make the age requirement 13 years old. Sorry about that! --Jake 08:46, October 23, 2015 (EDT)
But why does the wiki have no age limit? I don't understand!
--Pachisu123 (talk) 17:55, October 24, 2015 (EDT)
- The wiki doesn't have an age requirement because we don't directly ask for any personal information from minors, whereas the nature of a forum encourages the sharing of personal information and requires an email address to sign up. The wiki signup page terms of agreement (included below) state that those under 13 cannot provide a real name or email address for their account, which allows us to remain complaint with US Law while still allowing minors to create accounts.
| Already have an account? Log in. Please note that duplicate accounts are not allowed, and these may be blocked from editing.
Please note: Email address and real name may only be provided by those age 13 and older pursuant to United States Law. Those under age 13 are still welcome to create an account and may contribute to the wiki without restriction, but may not add an email or real name to their account until their 13th birthday. |

Why does the forum require email but not wiki?
--Pachisu123 (talk) 19:30, October 25, 2015 (EDT)
- Posting on the forum is a more social environment, and as such, involves a certain level of accountability. Collecting an email address allows us to increase the barrier of registration to prevent spam accounts and allow us to keep the site family friendly. The wiki is more of a collaborative environment than a social one, is a lot easier to monitor, and has more staff members. A while back it was decided that we would not require emails on the wiki even though it could lead to an increase in spam, in order to allow younger users like yourself to register under the above terms. If you truly want to create an account on the forums, I can provide you with a form which your parents would need to fill out and fax in to us. However, this is probably more trouble than it's worth since the forums really aren't very active thse days anyway. --Jake 20:33, October 25, 2015 (EDT)
Sockpuppets
What do you do when you find out that someone created a sock puppet account used to pretend to be someone else?
--Pachisu123 (talk) 18:24, October 26, 2015 (EDT)
- We generally block the sockpuppet account and post an informal reminder or an official warning on sockpuppeting depending on the severity of it. The "sockpuppet" can technically be a sibling, however, so we give benefit of the doubt before acting upon the sockpuppet and the original accounts.

miiverse
Do you have a Miiverse?
--Pachisu123 (talk) 16:57, November 22, 2015 (EST)
- I think I technically have one, but I don't use it or know my username. --Jake 12:06, December 6, 2015 (EST)
A thing for you.
Im a fan of Pierce I also have it in my user page, so can I join your special group? TabuuandMasterCore (talk) 20:01, April 1, 2016 (EDT)
I need some help
on my user page, each time I try to create a base Userbox my computer crashes, you have my premission to make it, I can do the rest. TabuuandRover (talk) 21:21, April 3, 2016 (EDT)
Permanent Username change
If the Username Princess Peach doesn't exist I'll take it! TabuuandRover (talk) 22:51, April 26, 2016 (EDT)
- Hey TabuuandRover. The username Princess Peach is not yet taken, however, username changes are only available one time per six months. You will become eligible for another username change on October 3rd, 2016. Sorry about that. --Jake 19:18, April 28, 2016 (EDT)
- Since we don't have any info about renaming on the wiki, including the "six month rule", do you think we should add this to one of our Nookipedia namespace pages? If you'd like, I could create a thread on the forums about it. Cheers, Red (talk)
12:56, April 29, 2016 (EDT)
- Yes. I definitely think we should add this somewhere, perhaps on NP:Policy? TabuuandRover - I didn't realize that this policy was not clearly outlined on the wiki itself, and so I'll allow a second username change to Princess Peach if you still want to go through with it. :) --Jake 13:26, April 29, 2016 (EDT)
- I'd go with adding a 13th header about user renames on NP:Policy, while possibly mentioning it on NP:Users and/or NP:Bureaucrats. The only time I've seen the "six month rule" being used or mentioned is in your rename summaries. Red (talk) 13:33, April 29, 2016 (EDT)

Hmm.. I have been renamed on other NIWA accounts, also on Mario Wiki they allow only 2 renames per year, I got renamed 3 days after I first was there, then about a month, then they said that I couldn't get a rename until April of next year, and plus on top of that, im becoming inactive from October 2nd until the first of January. I will be touring China during that time before returning to Israel. So im sorry for the inconvenience this causes. P.S. make sure nobody gets that username. TabuuandRover (talk) 21:24, April 29, 2016 (EDT)
- Each NIWA Wiki is managed independently, so the policies of other wikis do not necessarily carry over to Nookipedia. If you would like to have your name changed to Princess Peach, just let me know and I'd be happy to do it. --Jake 23:23, April 29, 2016 (EDT)
Ich bin mir sicher, wollen mein Name zu sein! (I sure do want my name to be that!) sorry, my German is coming out. But with the rename, sure! TabuuandRover (talk) 10:17, April 30, 2016 (EDT)
Question about forum
When you set a forum post to staff only, only staff members can view it. But if I become patroller, will I be able to look at staff-only posts or do I need an account on the forum, which I don't have?
--Pachisu123 (talk) 21:13, May 8, 2016 (EDT)
- You will be able to access the staff-only forum once you're promoted. Of course, you need an account in the forum first so we can give you the permission to view the forums. ™ 21:15, May 8, 2016 (EDT)
- This is correct, but to be honest there's really not a whole lot going on in the staff forums. --Jake 15:30, May 9, 2016 (EDT)
A question
Despite my withdraw, is okay for me to promote somebody else for staff or promote a staff member that is lower than a bureaucrat to a higher level? 
Princess Peach 
14:22, May 12, 2016 (EDT)
- Only bureaucrats and directors can promote someone directly, but you can nominate someone else to be a staff member. You must get their permission, though. Red (talk) 14:36, May 12, 2016 (EDT)
Category help
I would like to create a new category: Fans of Star Trek. Unfortunately I don't know how. If we work on it together you could join as a gift for creating it or helping me creating it. Princess Peach 14:15, May 31, 2016 (EDT)
- Sure. Just type "Category:Fans of Star Trek" into the search bar and press enter. Then click the link that says create this page and you should be able to start the page. Let me know if you have any other questions. --Jake 18:23, May 31, 2016 (EDT)
E3
Has E3 ended? If so, is this a good time to take the sitenotice down? Red (talk) 
12:50, June 16, 2016 (EDT)
- E3 is over but I wanted to leave it up because the linked page still outlines some of the upcoming games. I think we should take it down at the end of the day. --Jake 13:05, June 16, 2016 (EDT)
Add new right to autoconfirmed users
Howdy Jake! I was going to create a new Userbox here, but it's from an external source. Can you please add allow autocomfirmed users. Many NIWA wikis and even our Wikia rival does that. I don't want our rival to have advantage of us. Also it would be great if we had posts from Miiverse about New Leaf that's helpful. Thanks! Princess Peach 12:32, August 3, 2016 (EDT)
- I'm not sure I understand what right you are requesting. Which userbox are you trying to create? You should be able to copy over the wikicode from the other site (with attribution) and modify it to work on our site. --Jake 15:35, August 4, 2016 (EDT)
It's like from a URL. and im autoconfirmed the right that im requesting oto Upload files from URLS and our Wikia rival does that, so does many NIWA wikis. I think you can do it. And for Userboxes I was going to do one with Dave Schwartz. It's from Weather.com some of them images there inspired me to create a few new categories and userboxes since I know stuff about categories I know what to do. And uploading an image from a URL is much less complicated. Princess Peach 16:22, August 4, 2016 (EDT)
- By the way the right im requesting is included in the Bot group and it is Uploading images from a URL.

ZCJigglypuff
Hey there Jake! I have a complaint on ZCJigglypuff. The complaint is that the person deleted my custom made userbox and the image along with it. If you can restore them that will be great. And I created the userbox like a patroller did with the piano. I think that's harmful and I was going to let you have the Userbox before ZCJigglypuff deleted it. Thanks!
Never mind Jake, we are comprimising. Princess Peach 14:57, August 7, 2016 (EDT) Princess Peach 19:48, August 7, 2016 (EDT)
- Glad to hear it! Thanks, ZCJigglypuff, for handling this well and working on a compromise. :) --Jake 21:40, August 7, 2016 (EDT)
Bot
Bot hasn't done anything since 2015 is okay for me to mark it as inactive? Princess Peach 19:29, September 28, 2016 (EDT)
Well
Since Amiibos are merchandise, im putting it in the merchandise category, the template and the merchandise page im wondering if that would be helpful. Princess Peach 20:16, November 17, 2016 (EST)
- I would ask over at the Community Fountain so that other editors can weigh in on this. --Jake 09:40, November 18, 2016 (EST)
Happy holidays!

Hi Jake! Just wanted to wish you a very merry holiday season and a happy new year. Thanks for everything you do on Nookipedia! |

Thank you for the warm welcome
I just wanted to thank you for the short message you left on my user page. Positive reinforcement is long lost on a lot of game wikis these days. Kudos to you, sir! --NibKing (talk) 00:42, March 13, 2017 (EDT)
Quick question, if you don't mind?
Um what's the code for the infobox that you've currently got on your Talkpage? Kandi (talk) 13:27, December 6, 2017 (EST)
- That would be Template:Infobox User :) ~PoizonMushro0m

Quick Question
Just asking or maybe not :] what rank (if any) do you have to be to nominate someone to any rank? Please, if you can, respond accordingly for each rank (including Director, if you can nominate someone to that level) for at which rank you have to be to nominate someone to be that level? Thanks :] - unsigned comment from Zucker2008 (talk • contribs)
- Anyone can nominate anyone for any position (with the nominee’s permission first), however by convention people are only nominated for the next highest position as those nominations are more likely to be successful. Director is a leadership role and is by appointment only. There are other roles such as Cargo Technician, Trustee, Bot, and Interface Administrator which are also not eligible for nomination. --Jake (talk) 10:21, June 14, 2021 (EDT)
- Thanks! --Zucker2008
09:24, June 15, 2021 (BST)
- Thanks! --Zucker2008
Keaton
I found that it says on Keaton's page that he can't be one of the starting villagers in your Animal Crossing: New Leaf town, but I had him as one of my starting villagers. Is this an error, or am I just deluded? --Zucker2008 10:15, June 25, 2021 (BST)
- I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to answer that on my own. The best course of action would be to open a discussion on Keaton’s talk page so that your experience can be documented. This will give editors something to look out for in the future, as we’d probably need more than one person’s experience to make that change. --Jake (talk) 12:06, June 25, 2021 (EDT)
- Smug and big sister villagers can't be starting villagers on day 1 in New Leaf, they always move in later on. HylianAngel (talk) 19:12, June 25, 2021 (EDT)
- Well there we go! Hope this answers your question, Zucker2008. --Jake (talk) 21:22, June 25, 2021 (EDT)
-Okay, I must just have had him move in later on and thought he was one of my starting villagers. Thanks, --Zucker
Account Deletion
Hello, Sorry to bother you. Please could you delete my account for me? I wasn’t sure who to contact and I have been trying to find out how to do this myself; however, I had no luck. Thank you for your time, stay safe ^_^. - unsigned comment from MLBfan (talk • contribs)
- It's not possible unfortunately. If you don't want to edit here anymore, that's absolutely fine, but your account will always continue to exist. Drago (talk)
