== Hey there ==

Hi there! I saw the sprites you uploaded recently and was wondering a couple of things. Would you happen to be on Discord? It'd be easier to ask/answer through there. I've also found your Steam account, so maybe we can discuss them there. [[User:Senor Mexicano|Senor Mexicano]] ([[User talk:Senor Mexicano|talk]]) 19:16, February 28, 2018 (EST)

== Staff? ==

Hi LoneShadowStar - hope you're doing well! I just wondered if you had any interest in becoming part of the [[Nookipedia:Staff|staff team]]? You've done terrific work with images and galleries! I'd be happy to nominate you if you're interested.

== Deleting redirects ==

Hey LoneShadowStar - congrats on the promotion! Regarding moving files, make sure to update file names on pages before deleting the redirect; otherwise, we'll have a bunch of dead file links on the wiki. For example, after moving [[:File:Pierce.png]] to a new location, you should use [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] to see what pages are still using the file. For instance, [https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Pierce.png Piece.png] is still being used on three pages. Thank you! <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 21:57, March 15, 2018 (EDT)

== Doubutsu no Mori+ ==

Hi there - hope you're doing well! I understand your concern with [[Doubutsu no Mori+]] being similar to [[Population Growing]], but there ''are'' differences between these two games and I'd rather not see such a big change being made without consensus. Besides, sunmarsh probably had a reason to create the separate page for DnM+ back in 2015. Therefore, I have restored Doubutsu no Mori+ for the time being. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about this.

== Category deletions ==

Hi! Great job with images, and the new project - it's great.

Two things to note re. category deletions:
* I think a lot of these deletions should be discussed first (e.g. I don't think [[:Category:Animal Crossing Pocket Camp character icons]] should be deleted). If you have many categories you want to delete, you could start a discussion at the [[Nookipedia_talk:Community_Fountain|Community Fountain]].
* Categories should be empty before being deleted, to prevent redlinks, not being as easily able to find deleted categories that have content in them, etc.
Our image categories do need a lot of work, so it might be a better idea to come up with an image categorization system to replace the current categories you're deleting. I'd be interested in working on this as well.

Thanks! <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 18:27, May 10, 2018 (EDT)
:Looking at it more, the impression I'm getting is: with proper naming within a category, all images related to, say, a certain villager would be grouped together, meaning there isn't a need for more specific categories (like a separate PC character icons category) - correct? <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 18:37, May 10, 2018 (EDT)

@SuperHamster Yes, that was one of the things I was intending for when renaming/categorizing images. If you notice the way I've named each one, they all start with the same basic name, making organization more compressed and easy to follow. For example, all images of [[Bob]] start with his name, followed by a short tag to further clarify what the image is, such as game. Because each of the "Bob Images" all start with Bob, one could simply go to whatever license the image pertains to, such as character art, and simply find Bob's name in the category, with all images related to him in that category being neatly grouped together. Because of this, the "Villager Images" category may no longer be necessary. --[[User:LoneShadowStar|LoneShadowStar]] ([[User talk:LoneShadowStar|talk]]) 18:42, May 10, 2018 (EDT)
:Gotcha! That's really awesome, thanks for doing that.
:I'm thinking of whether or not more specific categories would still be useful...having images grouped like you described is great, but I would think having specific image types (like the PC character icons) would also still be useful to have. Though I suppose that need is fulfilled through the page galleries (which you've also been doing an awesome job with)? <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 18:48, May 10, 2018 (EDT)
@SuperHamster Well, yeah, the galleries also fulfill that issue, but I see what you’re saying. Having other categories could be useful, such as the PC Icons as mentioned, as well as the ”Icon Sprites” category I made for all Icon -based sprites in general. It’s all personal preference, really. Another reason for me wishing to replace the "Villager Images" category was due to a lack of clarity, as it only says "Villager Images", yet it only contained artwork for the villagers instead of all images related to villagers. --[[User:LoneShadowStar|LoneShadowStar]] ([[User talk:LoneShadowStar|talk]]) 13:05, May 13, 2018 (EDT)
:Yea, I think what you're doing to replace the Villager Images category is great - I'm just wondering about whether or not we want to keep the more specific categories (e.g. PC icons) as well 🤔. Might be something for the community to discuss. <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 23:25, May 13, 2018 (EDT)
::Again, it's all preference if you want to use those extra categories or not. I'm not sure myself, so I'll leave it up to you. EDIT: After thinking it over, I believe that it would be useful to have those other categories for things such as the character icons.--[[User:LoneShadowStar|LoneShadowStar]] ([[User talk:LoneShadowStar|talk]]) 10:15, May 14, 2018 (EDT)

== Villager infobox appearances ==

[[File:Infobox Villager appearances mockup.png|right|300px]]

Hey Austin! Hope you're doing well. As usual, great job with your updates to villager articles over the last few weeks.

Regarding [[Template:Infobox Villager]], I saw you changed the <code>appearances</code> parameter to <code>debut</code>+<code>latest appearances</code>. For big changes to high-visibility templates that affect hundreds of pages (like infoboxes), I recommend opening a discussion and seeing what other editors think before diving in. It lets others provide input to help find the best solution, and can also make the process easier for you in the long-run in case any changes are proposed later on.

On that note, I'm guessing you removed the appearances to get rid of lengthy information in the infobox, right? That might be something we and other editors might want to discuss some more. What if we did a middle ground? We've added [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageInCat Extension:PageInCat] that lets us do things based on the categories; I used it to quickly slapped together [[User:SuperHamster/Sandbox/Orange|this template]] (see screenshot on right), which auto-generates abbreviated appearances based on the category the villager's article is in. It saves space and we wouldn't have to edit the appearances section of the infobox anymore, as long as categories are kept up to date. Thoughts? <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 04:10, June 27, 2018 (EDT)

That sounds good. Maybe I was a little too ambitious with updating the infobox, but your suggestion looks great. --[[File:ShadowStarAvatar.png|25px|link=User:LoneShadowStar]][[User:LoneShadowStar|<span style="color:black;font-family:Coustard">LoneShadowStar</span>]] [[User talk:LoneShadowStar|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:red">(talk)</span>]] 09:34, June 27, 2018 (EDT)

== Villager birthdays ==
Hey Shadow! I just wanted to quickly ask where you're obtaining the information for the birthdays of villagers who haven't appeared past {{DnMe+}}, such as [[Twirp]] and [[Marcy]], as I have only ever found their starsigns. I don't doubt that you're providing correct information, I just want to know where I can find such information. Thanks! [[User:ZCJigglypuff|<span style="color:#F781F3;">ZCJigglypuff</span>]]([[User talk:ZCJigglypuff|Talk]])

@ZCJigglypuff Oh, I just found those from the Wikia version of the Animal Crossing Wiki, nothing too major. --[[File:ShadowStarAvatar.png|25px|link=User:LoneShadowStar]][[User:LoneShadowStar|<span style="color:black;font-family:Coustard">LoneShadowStar</span>]] [[User talk:LoneShadowStar|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:red">(talk)</span>]] 09:44, August 12, 2018 (EDT)
:Hmm...all those birthdays were added [http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Lewisd1610 by a single editor] who also did some other odd edits, like adding unconfirmed dog breed species to pages.

== Notification of Leave ==

After working on this wiki for nearly a year, I am here to anounce that I will be on hiatus for the next few months, as I feel like I need to focus on other things besides Animal Crossing. My last work prior to my hiatus will be finishing my part on [[Nookipedia:Project Villager|Project Villager]]. But after that, I will not return until months from now. I'm proud to have worked so hard on this wiki and upload many images, but I feel that I need some kind of break for the time being.

== Reason for move HHD and PC info to Preferences ==

Hello! I wonder why you're moving {{HHD}} and {{PC}} information from Other appearances to Preferences section? These games are spin-offs. In addition, PC don't have any houses, and because House section is under Preferences.

*@vmario That's because that, despite the fact they aren't houses, they are still PREFERENCES of that villager. In other words, they describe what THEY LIKE, not what their house is like. Also, last I checked, "House" and "Preferences" were separate sections. 	<small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:LoneShadowStar|LoneShadowStar]] ([[User talk:LoneShadowStar|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/LoneShadowStar|contribs]]) 14:11, August 30, 2018 (EDT)''</small>

== Toolboxes ==

Hi, I found you had redirected and deleted my toolbox image while I still in the process of linking it to the Campground items for acnl (I actually thought I had goofed and forgot to upload it until the wiki told me off when I tried to re-upload it). I used the one you redirected to but it's a different item in a different game so I've re-uploaded the image I had and tagged it with acnl so it was obvious it wasn't the unused GCN sprite. I hope that's okay. I'm still getting the hang of finding my way around this site. [[User:Kazz|Kazz]] ([[User talk:Kazz|talk]]) 14:41, November 29, 2018 (EST)

== Villager Information ==
Hello LSS! I just wanted to quickly ask about where you found the information on the personalities of some DnMe+ villagers. I have noticed that you have changed what personalities some villagers had in those games compared to what we had previously known, such as Curlos being cranky rather than lazy. I'm not trying to say its false information, I just want to clarify your sources for this, as our prior knowledge on this subject was information that had been unchanged for several years, and I find it peculiar that every notable AC resource supposedly had this info wrong for over 15 years. Thanks, and merry Christmas! [[User:ZCJigglypuff|<span style="color:#F781F3;">ZCJigglypuff</span>]]([[User talk:ZCJigglypuff|Talk]]) 00:12, December 20, 2018 (EST)

Of course, hence why I put the "I may need further research" disclaimer at the end of the discussion pages. I just noticed that the DnMe+ e-Cards for the villagers are ordered specifically by personality (For instance, [[Walker]], who is lazy, is first, followed by [[Maggie]], who is normal; [[Rod]], who is a jock; [[Merry]], who is peppy; [[Angus]], who is cranky; and [[Willow]], who is snooty.) I checked the order for the other cards as well, and all of them checked out as I thought, so I assumed the islanders followed the same pattern as well, and after checking, they did. (I.E. Raddle, who's lazy, was the first card in one order, while [[Julia]], who is snooty, was the last card in another order.) I hope this clarifies things.

UPDATE: Having now analyzed the e-Reader cards' data directly, I can now verify all of my assumptions, even the ones about Harry and Violet.

Yes, almost every AC resource (in english, anyway) had it wrong for 15 years, Nookipedia included.

== On NL models ==

Good day. I see that you too are working on extracting models from ACNL, from your [[:File:Jingle_NL_Model.png|Jingle NL Model]]. I know that you are much more experienced than me when it comes to modeling and spriting, and thus, I come to ask you questions.

# What viewer do you use when viewing your BCRES files? Do you recommend any? Currently using SPICA and ohana3DS-Rebirth (since, on my machine, one has problems the other manages to resolve, although neither seems to be optimal).
# Do you know any way to "superimpose" two models, for example, a villager's head and his torso? I managed to combine, say, <nowiki>/Ftr/Common_mdl/Catalog_Carpet.bcres</nowiki> with a corresponding <nowiki>/Item/Model/carpet_*.bcres</nowiki>, although I can't seem to combine a head and a torso well. Do you know some tutorials I can look up to?
# Do you have a reference of all (or at least a number of) models found in the <nowiki>romfs</nowiki>, for example, a list saying <nowiki>/Fish/sea_kegani.bcres</nowiki> is the Horsehair Crab? I am currently compiling such a list, although it would be nice if someone else has already created one, since the game is at least several years old.

Thank you, and have a good day. Happy holidays. [[User:Decomposer|Decomposer]] ([[User talk:Decomposer|talk]]) 02:33, December 26, 2018 (EST)

@Decomposer Oh, I didn't rip those models, those were ripped by Centrixie of The Model's Resource. I just used the thumbnail that shows the rendered model on that site. If you want information on models, see him. I know absolutely nothing on model ripping. I DID rip the e+ sprites, though, so I can answer some questions on that.

 == Deleting redirects ==
-Hey LoneShadowStar - congrats on the promotion! Regarding moving files, make sure to update file names on pages before deleting the redirect; otherwise, we'll have a bunch of dead file links on the wiki. For example, after moving File:Pierce.png to a new location, you should use [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] to see what pages are still using the file. For instance, Piece.png is still being used on three pages.

 == Doubutsu no Mori+ ==
-Hi there - hope you're doing well! I understand your concern with [[Doubutsu no Mori+]] being similar to [[Population Growing]], but there ''are'' differences between these two games and I'd rather not see such a big change being made without consensus. Besides, sunmarsh probably had a reason to create the separate page for DnM+ back in 2015. Therefore, I have restored Doubutsu no Mori+ for the time being. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about this.

 Two things to note re. category deletions:
-* I think a lot of these deletions should be discussed first (e.g. I don't think Category:Animal Crossing Pocket Camp character icons should be deleted). If you have many categories you want to delete, you could start a discussion at the [[Nookipedia_talk:Community_Fountain|Community Fountain]].

 * Categories should be empty before being deleted, to prevent redlinks, not being as easily able to find deleted categories that have content in them, etc.
 Our image categories do need a lot of work, so it might be a better idea to come up with an image categorization system to replace the current categories you're deleting. I'd be interested in working on this as well.

-== Japanese Villager Picture Quotes ==
-Hey, I noticed that you have been adding a lot of the Japanese picture quotes and their translations to villagers' pages. I was just wondering whether you are getting the translations from somewhere. Many of them are fine but a lot of them misinterpret or miss important words, giving a completely different meaning. Most of them are famous proverbs, so it isn't difficult for me to make sure that I understand the meaning correctly, and so I think I could edit them. Anyways, thanks for adding the quotes, and I hope you don't mind if I change some of the incorrect translations when I get around to it.  [[User:Ok|Ok]] ([[User talk:Ok|talk]]) 21:11, February 15, 2019 (EST)
---Yeah, that's fine. I know literally nothing about Japanese, so I was just using Google Translate for many of them, which more often than not came out as nonsense that I myself interpreted. The actual sayings I got from [http://www.geocities.jp/june61m/doumori/room01.html here] You're more than welcome to change them if you wish. --[[File:ShadowStarAvatar.png|25px|link=User:LoneShadowStar]][[User:LoneShadowStar|<span style="color:black;font-family:Coustard">LoneShadowStar</span>]] [[User talk:LoneShadowStar|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:red">(talk)</span>]] 13:25, February 16, 2019 (EST)
-== ん and ン vs. ぬ and ヌ ==
-Sorry to comment about it here, I didn't know where would be appropriate. Please do not add a "u" to the Japanese transliteration of words or names that include ん or ン. These characters are romanized as "n" and represent the only consonant that can occur without a following vowel in Japanese (unless you count the first of doubled consonants.) The kana that represent "nu" are ぬ and ヌ. See [[Wikipedia:N (kana)]].{{User:Ok/sig}} 14:36, March 17, 2019 (EDT)

-== Action Required: Email Verification ==
-Hi there! Hope you're doing well. New Horizons is upon us, and that also means some changes to the wiki. We're implementing a new policy where all staff members need to have a verified email address attached to their account. This is to make sure all staff members can be contacted, and more importantly, don't lose access to their account in case they lose their password. Please add+verify an email address by '''March 22'''. Staff members that do not have a verified email after this date will be assigned the Email Required user group right, which removes access to some staff permissions, until a verified email is attached.
