Hey there! Welcome to Nookipedia (again), and great job so far! Just a quick tip that when signing comments on talk pages, use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This places both your username and a timestamp on the page. Feel free to ask me or any other staff members for any more help (or consider posting at the [[Nookipedia talk:Community Fountain|Community Fountain]] to get help from the general community).

Salve, Sunmarsh!
 +
I really appreciated your message, I kindly thank you. I aim to add in the future all the missing Italian names/explanations, and also contribute in this wiki even more in other fields.
 +
I hope this was the right section (and way) to reply to your message. If not, I'm really sorry. I won't do the same mistake twice.--[[User:Astrena|Astrena]] ([[User talk:Astrena|talk]]) 13:59, September 15, 2019 (EDT)
  
Usually, in a section title, the only letters you should capitalize are the first one and proper nouns.
+
:All of your translations have been very thoughtful so far. Keep up the good work. ;-) You can post your reply on your page, or on mine. It's up to you, really. See you around!

I'm not sure if it's necessary to create pages on ''every'' group of furniture. I think it's better to create articles of groups of furniture. As for uncategorized items, we can put them in a very decentralized "theme" article, although that would be very time consuming.

== Re: Editor in chief ==
  
If you have access to the e-guide of the game (look it up in the official site; sign in, register, and input a code if you need to; the code is found somewhere in the middle of the book), there's no need to scan the page. Just browse through the guide, right click on the image, and save the image to upload it here. Easy, but time-consuming.
+
Sorry about all this! I do think the editor-in-chief role is a great idea, and I did understand what you wrote in your nomination. The only reason that I made the comment that I did is because the staff applications page has (so far) solely been used for patroller, admin and 'crat applications. Discussion about creating a new position might be better suited to Discord or the Community Fountain, but eh, someone else might disagree!

:No hard feelings Drago, I'm sorry if I read something into your comment that wasn't there.

::Thanks for the reply. I was actually referring to items from the first {{PG}} game, not ACNL. I also have the guide to {{WW}} and {{CF}} so I could scan those guides for item images as well. --[[User:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]])

:::Oh, gotcha. Does Prima have e-guides for Wild World and City Folk? It would spare you a lot of scanning if they did. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 19:52, July 14, 2014 (EDT)
 
::::I don't believe that they started e-guides until after the guide for City Folk was published, so no. Besides, e-guides weren't as widely used back then as they are now? Come to think of it, did Prima even have a guide for Wild World. I have the Nintendo Power guide for Wild World, not Prima. --[[User:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|XXSuperXXNintendoXx]] ([[User talk:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|talk]]) 02:38, July 15, 2014 (EDT)

== Multiple Edits ==
+
== Saharah's template ==
Hello! I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to the same page over a short time. Doing this puts a large strain on our server and clogs up the recent changes. So instead of saving a lot, use the "show preview" button next to the "save page" button. It'll allow you to view your edit for any mistakes so you don't have to make a lot of fixing edits or additional ones! Additionally, it will help to reduce the workload of the staff who have to patrol each and every edit. Thanks! :) --[[User:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|XXSuperXXNintendoXx]] ([[User talk:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|talk]]) 16:33, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
 
:Sorry about that! I didn't realize that the Sandbox page was viewable to everyone... although I'm sure that's not the only page where I've been guilty of this. ^^; I'll do my best to keep the edit count to a minimum. --[[User:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]]) 16:40, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
 
  
== Autopatrol ==

Hello, Sunmarsh!
 +
Sorry for bothering you with such a trivial question, but I edited Saharah's page to include her appearance in New Horizons, but her character template doesn't show the game. However, this problem doesn't appear in the preview. Did I do something wrong? Could you add it yourself, 'cause I don't seem able to?
 +
Thank you and sorry for bothering you with such a problem. --[[User:Astrena|Astrena]] ([[User talk:Astrena|talk]]) 17:30, February 16, 2020 (EST)
  
Hé, considering your great recent contributions, you have been promoted to trustee status! It means that you're trusted enough that we don't need to patrol your edits. I hope you keep up your great work here, especially on that [[Acre]] article. :) {{User:Mario/Sig}} 22:42, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
+
:No worries Astrena. I think I figured out the problem; Nookipedia's cache of that page needed to be cleared. If you ever run into an issue where changes to a template are not appearing (this usually happens when you've updated a template but it still looks the same on the target page, but in this case was the result of the template depending on page categorization) you can do the following:

== Staff? ==
 
 
 
Hey sunmarsh - love the work you've done so far. I think you're definitely ready to join the staff team as a [[Nookipedia:Patroller|Patroller]], if you so desire. Just let me know and I'll be happy to nominate you. Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 09:42, July 31, 2014 (EDT)

:::I'll support the nomination, that's for sure. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 15:03, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 
::::I would definitely support the nomination too, as you've shown through your edits and past projects that you have a vast knowledge on the technical aspects of the series, which is something the majority of players know nothing about. --[[User:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|XXSuperXXNintendoXx]] ([[User talk:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|talk]]) 15:39, July 31, 2014 (EDT)

::Awesome! Thank you everyone for your support & positive feedback. :) Is there a page somewhere that lists Patroller responsibilities more in-depth (other than Nookipedia:Patrollers)? Perhaps with guidelines/suggestions on when it's appropriate to use patroller-specific abilities? --[[User:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]]) 15:55, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 
:::Hrmm...not that I know of. But to give a quick run-down, the two biggest tools you have are deleting and protecting pages. You can delete pages that obviously shouldn't exist (e.g. files that will never be used, new articles that aren't about anything significant, etc.). Any other page should still go through the normal discussions before deleting. As for protecting pages, that's typically done if a page is repeatedly being vandalized, or a template is widely used across the site.
 
:::So yep...basically, just use your best judgement :) Being voted in for staff means we trust your judgement. But feel free to ask any questions at any time! <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 22:36, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 
:::::You can always post any questions you may have on the Staff Forum or send either (or both of us) a PM. And remember, there isn't a single mistake you can make that can't be undone, so don't be afraid to use your new permissions as you see fit. As SuperHamster said, we trust your judgement with this. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 13:38, August 8, 2014 (EDT)

Hey, this is Marcus([[User talk:567koala|talk]]), Can I be project furniture? I really think I can help! Thanks!--[[User:567koala|Marcus]] 18:18, October 1, 2014 (EDT)
 
:I've added you. Please remember to use the Preview tab (or the Show Preview button) prior to submitting edits. Every edit you make must be patrolled (aka checked for accuracy/appropriateness) because you are a new member. The more minor edits you make, the more posts we have to patrol. -[[User:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]]) 18:59, October 1, 2014 (EDT)

:::To add an image to your project furniture profile, you simply edit the page and add it to the appropriate location. I can do this for you if you'd like. First, the image needs to be uploaded to the wiki; you can do so [[Special:Upload|here]]. Alternatively, we can use a pre-existing image which you can view or search for [[Special:ListFiles|here]]. -[[User:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]]) 18:09, October 2, 2014 (EDT)

:Yes, if you look on the Project Furniture page, there are lists of Series, Themes, Sets etc. that need work (purple and grey boxes). To get an idea of what the final result should look like, take a look at the already completed pages in the green boxes (clicking the edit button on one of those pages to see the wikitext/templates used may be helpful). Remember to conform to Nookipedia guidelines in regard to item capitalization ([[Nookipedia:Policy#10:_Capitalizing|see here]]). --[[User:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]]) 13:25, October 3, 2014 (EDT)
 
Ok, thanks!
 
 
 
== Re:Meeting request ==
 
 
 
Yeah, we could do with a collaboration of some sort, because some of our projects are of incomprehensible scale and working as a team makes things more efficient. But I don't know if a chatroom would work. I may be online earlier than you. However, I am quite interested in reviving the other projects (like Project Furniture was), and utilizing the talk pages and forum for some of our discussions. I'll wait for more input on this, and thanks for bringing this up (the workload on me was rather large so I've took a slight break). <big>[[User:Red Snapper|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:darkred">Red</span>]] [[User talk:Red Snapper|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:red">Snapper</span>]]</big> 14:31, October 6, 2014 (EDT)

== Signature help ==
 
 
 
Hey sunmarsh, how do you change your signature to look cooler like yours?--[[User:567koala|Marcus]] ([[User talk:567koala|talk]]) 21:21, October 7, 2014 (EDT)
 
:Navigate to your [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]] page. In the Signature section, check the box "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)". My name is actually an image that I created. You can use wikitext to change font color and size, however the signature field only allows a certain amount of characters, so to get the effect I wanted I applied the font, color and size I wanted in a text editor, took a screenshot, and then uploaded the text as an image which I link to in my signature.

Hey sunmarsh. Hope all is well! I just wanted to say thank you for all of the work you've put into fixing up the table templates. The syntax looks a lot better, and the colored MIA images are a nice touch. I know you must have put a lot of time and effort into getting it all set up and working (at least 36 hours over the last week, according to the server), and I just wanted to make sure your work doesn't go unappreciated. I'm making you the first ever [[Nookipedia:Honored_members#Special_nominations|Honored Member Special Nomination]].

::Thanks so much for the kind words, it means a lot. :) If you or anyone has any suggestions for improvements do let me know.

== New table header format ==
 
 
 
Just curious, but what are the advantages to the new table format compared to ItemList? Aside from a little error in one of the tables (those pesky div wrappers). I'm curious because I'm just catching my breath after converting a lot of tables from the old format into a newer format, only for an even newer format to come along! {{User:Mario/Sig}} 21:54, July 1, 2015 (EDT)
 
 
 
:Glad you asked! I know that on the series pages it really doesn't look any different, and that's because there aren't very many cosmetic changes made to the way the tables display on those pages. The main thing I was trying to accomplish was to create a template that we could use to create EVERY item table on the site, regardless of what sort of list we were trying to create or what game it was for. Template:ItemList only works for furniture and wallpaper/carpet on series pages. The new template will eventually work for all items (right now it only works for furniture, wallpaper, carpet, fish, insects, seafood and music). There's a more thorough list of changes in [[Template:TableHeader|the documentation]] for the template as well. If you ever have any further questions about it, have suggestions etc. please feel free to ask!

Thanks so much. :) You mean the edits to [[Template:Villager Info]]? If so, the table looks a lot different but the coding didn't change very much at all. Just a matter of analyzing the way the template was set up by Sky and figuring out where I needed to put everything. Took an hour or two maybe? The mock-up I created from scratch in my Sandbox (not there anymore, maybe, I don't remember) took longer to make than the actual changes to the template. If you're talking in general about how long it takes to make large changes to templates (+/- thousands of characters) those are usually the quickest because they involve a find & replace command. Even the conversions to Template:TableHeader are made much quicker due to find & replace. But working with tables is actually pretty fun. Like a puzzle game figuring out how to get things to do what you want. But I've had to spend a bit of time referencing guides and stuff to get where I am now. Also, '''HomerJC''', not sure if that was meant for me, but hello to you too. :P [[File:Sunmarshsignature.png|link=User:Sunmarsh]] '''<small><span style="font-variant:small-caps">([[User_talk:Sunmarsh|<span style="color:#7B7B7B">talk</span>]])</span></small>''' 22:35, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 
::An hour or so it quite a lot. I was just wondering since edits with thousands of characters added tend to be a lot of effort. When I do it, it takes so long, my poor neck starts hurting, and I have to stand up. Me, I'm not extremely experienced with templates, as most of my editing comes from content-related things rather than inner wiki works. Regarding your edits, I was referring to your edits in general, especially those with bolded thousand-character revisions, so your Villager Info is just a part of it. :P {{User:Mario/Sig}} 22:41, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 
 
 
== Promotion time? ==
 
 
 
The work you've been doing lately has been fantastic, and I think a promotion to admin is overdue. That'll leave us with no patrollers, but that'll mean plenty of room for newcomers!

== Villager Info template ==
 
 
 
Hi. I think that there should be an update to the Villager Info template, regarding Happy Home Designer. It will have the characters profile pic, home request, and day they are found on. Thanks, [[User:Trainiax|Trainiax]] ([[User talk:Trainiax|talk]]) 14:10, August 5, 2015 (EDT)
 
 
 
:Updating [[Template:Villager Info]] for {{HHD|nolink|short}} is certainly a possibility. However the pictures included in the WW & NL sections are of their official villager pics. We will have to see if such pictures are included in HHD and if they differ from ACNL. I definitely think that their request type is worth noting, we just have to be sure that each villager has a specific request and that it isn't random or chosen from a pool based on their personality type. Lastly, it was my impression that the villagers appeared randomly and not on a specific day. Do you have any evidence for this?

::Yes, on Spriters-Resource they had the pictures, but they are very low-quality ([http://www.spriters-resource.com/3ds/animalcrossinghappyhomedesigner/sheet/68351/ see here]). But I also found their NPC Icons, the ones that are shown at the bottom of the screen when you are making their house ([http://www.spriters-resource.com/3ds/animalcrossinghappyhomedesigner/sheet/68338/ here]). I have already started cropping everyone's own NPC Icon. [[User:Trainiax|Trainiax]] ([[User talk:Trainiax|talk]]) 09:24, August 7, 2015 (EDT)
 
 
 
:::Wow! Very nice find! The second sprite sheet also serves as a list of characters that appear in the game. The first thing we need to do is crop each animal out and start uploading the images here using a standard naming convention. Maybe (AnimalName)HHDIcon.png.

Well, if you're doing it, I would be more than happy to be a member. I'm focusing all my efforts on Project Furniture, but yeah, just letting you know that I might contribute here and there. Good job on the overhaul, though! (Σ(:o}) {{User:Mario/Sig}} 18:50, August 11, 2015 (EDT)
 
 
 
:Awesome, and thanks! I'm still working on the project page now but will add a new members section where you can put your name down. :) I'm actually going to try and focus on {{HHD|short|nolink}} & {{AMF|short|nolink}} coverage before I really get to work on updating the villager pages, but I figured it made sense to set up some clear instructions so that if people started to use the templates that they would have some guidance.

== Updating the amiibo card template ==
 
In amiibo Festival's Desert Island Escape, every villager has a favourite fruit and special ability, I just thought it might be a good idea if we update the amiibo card template to include this and other information I may have forgotten to mention - [[User:ZCJigglypuff|ZCJigglypuff]]

Hey! Welcome back! I missed you! I was wondering when you'll be active again. Activity has certainly died a bit for me, however, but I still check here from time to time. I hope the the newer Animal Crossing games do get datamined as I've been checking for information on at least Happy Home Designer. I think, actually, our furniture images should use Happy Home Designer's sprites, and I've experimented with [[Patchwork items]], but I appreciate more feedback. Thanks! {{User:Mario/Sig}} 22:18, January 13, 2016 (EST)
 
 
 
:Glad you're still around! I checked the Patchwork items and I agree that the HHD sprites look great in the item lists and I would be in support of using them in place of the ACNL items (those come from the online Prima guide, right?). I still think that we should keep the ACNL images (if we have them uploaded) and move them to a gallery section at the bottom, because while the HHD sprites look nice, they aren't 100% accurate representations of what the item looks like in game. They are a bit stylized. I've checked and I *think* all of the sprites have been ripped, I've counted 1,734 furniture sprites in HHD... not sure if that's all the furniture in ACNL though? The main series/themes are there though and those matter the most.

::The ''New Leaf'' items are indeed from Prima, and I think Prima has everything. I'm also not sure if that's all the furniture items, but HHD does have the DLC stuff so chances are it has everything. While the sprites are stylized, they still give an accurate impression of what the furniture item looks like, not to mention that they at a consistent width and height unlike the Prima ones, and since they're transparent, they're more versatile, so I'd go for replacing them in general. I also agree moving Prima ones to a gallery just because, well, it doesn't hurt. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 00:51, February 14, 2016 (EST)
 
 
 
:::I've uploaded all the images for the furniture series so far, and I see you've already replaced the images in at least one article- thanks for that! I will eventually go back and insert the images appropriately, but for now I'm focusing on editing and uploading them. If you ever have any time the images to the articles your help would be greatly appreciated.

::::Fantastic! Now to go in and add those images... that's gonna take a while. Any items in HHD that is absent? I mean, the game doesn't include them for whatever reason? {{User:Mario/Sig}} 22:22, March 1, 2016 (EST)

Please don't upload too many images at once, as this floods the recent changes page and clogs up what the admins have to patrol. Thanks.

:It's poor courtesy to tell an administrator what to do, MLAATR-Girl22. If sunmarsh had been concerned about flooding the recent changes, I'm sure the directors would not have minded giving him temporary "bot" permissions. Also, sunmarsh's edits are automatically patrolled since he is an administrator.

:I do appreciate everyone's concern, and as others have already mentioned, as an administrator I'm well aware of what I'm doing, thanks.

Revision as of 21:25, February 16, 2020

Welcome back!

Hey Sunmarsh, seen your recent edits and just gotta say it, WELCOME BACK! Your presence has been missed and hope you drop back in to our Discord! ~PoizonMushro0mPoizonMush Sig.png 21:29, July 18, 2018 (EDT)

Echoing the above comments, you've been sorely missed! Aw, now I'll have to wait another year before I can demote you! :P Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 05:53, July 19, 2018 (EDT)

Thanks everyone! Sorry to say I won't be back for long, though I will try to drop in more often. School commitments make it very difficult... I miss you all too! Sunmarshsignature.png (talk) 22:05, August 26, 2018 (EDT)

Thank you!

Salve, Sunmarsh! I really appreciated your message, I kindly thank you. I aim to add in the future all the missing Italian names/explanations, and also contribute in this wiki even more in other fields. I hope this was the right section (and way) to reply to your message. If not, I'm really sorry. I won't do the same mistake twice.--Astrena (talk) 13:59, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

All of your translations have been very thoughtful so far. Keep up the good work. ;-) You can post your reply on your page, or on mine. It's up to you, really. See you around! Sunmarshsignature.png (talk) 14:59, September 18, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Editor in chief

Sorry about all this! I do think the editor-in-chief role is a great idea, and I did understand what you wrote in your nomination. The only reason that I made the comment that I did is because the staff applications page has (so far) solely been used for patroller, admin and 'crat applications. Discussion about creating a new position might be better suited to Discord or the Community Fountain, but eh, someone else might disagree! Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 13:12, November 13, 2019 (EST)

No hard feelings Drago, I'm sorry if I read something into your comment that wasn't there. I appreciate you clarifying things. :) I agree that this is unprecedented and should probably involve more community discussion. Sunmarshsignature.png (talk) 14:03, November 13, 2019 (EST)
No problem at all. Looks like the directors have discussed things behind the scenes, so the new role should be ready to go now! :) Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 11:14, November 14, 2019 (EST)

Saharah's template

Hello, Sunmarsh! Sorry for bothering you with such a trivial question, but I edited Saharah's page to include her appearance in New Horizons, but her character template doesn't show the game. However, this problem doesn't appear in the preview. Did I do something wrong? Could you add it yourself, 'cause I don't seem able to? Thank you and sorry for bothering you with such a problem. --Astrena (talk) 17:30, February 16, 2020 (EST)

No worries Astrena. I think I figured out the problem; Nookipedia's cache of that page needed to be cleared. If you ever run into an issue where changes to a template are not appearing (this usually happens when you've updated a template but it still looks the same on the target page, but in this case was the result of the template depending on page categorization) you can do the following:
  1. Click the 'Edit' button on the page.
  2. Replace &action=edit at the end of the URL with &action=purge and press Enter on your keyboard.
  3. Select OK on the next page.
And the page will be updated with all of the latest information/reflect any changes to templates on that page. Sunmarshsignature.png (talk) 20:24, February 16, 2020 (EST)
