Reverts[edit]

Hi. I feel so bad that I keep reverting all your edits.
I wanted to give you reasoning for the reverting of the screenshots but I couldn't find the proper words so I didn't - sorry for that, I should have.
For the screenshots - this is a work in progress and I feel like it's better to go forward than to take step back. Not all the house sections have been updated for the villagers and they can't be updated at once so I think the species pages are allowed the same treatment (work in progress). We'll get there, eventually. :) Though, it made me think it would be good idea to write about it in the Project Villager page, not sure if you checked it, but it's not here anyway. (though our main mission are the villager pages, this counts too imho)

Also, a reasoning why we want to use the screenshots - it will give overall view of all the villgers and it will negate any favourism. Why is Boots more alligator-esque than Alfonso, for example? With screenshots, there will be all alligators and nobody will be wondering if we prefer someone here.

For the pictures in the species pages. So, at first, I thought it was cute. But then I noticed that the missing villagers are way too obvious. When we have the renders, you can notice that some of them are low quality and some are really pretty, but, they're all the same. So that's one reason I'm undoing it. I talked to another staff + Project Villager member and they said to revert it as well for this reason. I also want to note that this is quite a big change! It has been renders since 2013!
It's neat that you have all those new ideas on how to make the wiki look better, but I'd advise you to maybe talk to a staff member/use one of the Projects talk pages before you do any big edits. Maybe edit one page and send it as an example on what you think is neat - we can then discuss it and figure out if it's a good idea, bad idea, maybe add more ideas to it. That's what I did for gallery pages - one day I updated them to include NH icons and while doing so I had an idea that icons should be separated from villager pictures, the second day I got the ok to do so, so I was updating them yet again. And on the third day we figured out a better gallery outline. That got changed on day five but we haven't changed it since, so nice.
I don't want you to get discouraged, so don't take it that way.
Thank you and have a nice day! PaviinkaPapa Bear WW Model.png(Message me!) 01:34, April 28, 2020 (EDT)
