== Preview ==

I've noticed that when you edit galleries, you tend to make many consecutive edits in the span of 1 minute, where you alternate between adding and removing identical images. Based on your edits to the [[K.K. Lullaby]] page, it almost seems as if you haven't been using the "Show preview" button to see what the page will look like. I recommend using that, so that you can make one clean edit rather than around 3-5 edits in the span of a minute. This will make [[Special:RecentChanges]] cleaner, and it will make a page's history easier to sift through. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 08:00, November 11, 2021 (EST)

:Please keep in mind what Hylian said above; you're still doing this a lot, such as [https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Sparro/Gallery&diff=next&oldid=670379 here]. The [[Nookipedia:Policy|policy]] does suggest that users should preview their edits before saving, which it doesn't look like you are doing. Thank you, and keep contributing.

== HHP songs ==

Hi there! I noticed you've been adding songs to villager HHP templates, but some of the songs don't match [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EWtpPmwJO6Uo859SYPJ-Iu5yoS6ef7bfShYawEoKfk0/edit?usp=sharing datamined information] (examples include [[Chelsea]], [[Claudia]], and [[Charlise]]). Can I ask where you're getting the song information from? Is it in-game? Thanks, '''~[[User:SuperHamster|''<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>''<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>]]''' <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]] [[Special:Contribs/SuperHamster|Contribs]]</small> 00:50, November 22, 2021 (EST)

== HHP additions ==

Hello again - thanks for all your help with adding HHP templates to villagers! I'm currently running a bot that is automatically adding the HHP template using datamined information, so if you could hold off on adding the template, that'd be great. Otherwise, the bot may conflict with your additions. Thank you!

== CF House Exteriors ==

If you plan to add all villagers' CF exteriors to villager galleries, make sure to add all 5 at once rather than just one at a time. Only adding 1 can give the false impression that is their only exterior when it's not. For example, [[Bud]] has these 5 exteriors, so all should be added at the same time:
[[:File:CF Classic Exterior 1 Orange.png]], [[:File:CF Pink Exterior 1 Green.png]], [[:File:CF Ranch Exterior 1 Green.png]], [[:File:CF Rustic Exterior 1 Purple.png]], [[:File:CF Stone Exterior 1 Blue.png]] [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 19:54, December 1, 2021 (EST)

The information for all 5 exteriors is on the [[villager houses]] page (which I'm assuming is where you've been pulling the information from.) Use that info since it contains info on all 5, and also each image description does as well. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 20:05, December 1, 2021 (EST)

Thank you for doing 5 at a time, the galleries look really good now! [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 22:03, December 2, 2021 (EST)

== Descriptions for e-Reader cards ==

Please do not change the "Doubutsu no Mori e+ cards" to "Japanese cards," the DnM+ and DnMe+ cards are completely separate. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 03:45, December 22, 2021 (EST)

== Unexplained removal ==

Hi, could you please explain to me [[Special:Diff/736864|why you removed one of the Fortune Cookies listed on here]]? They are listed here for documentation purposes.

== Ankha ==

Please don't revert the Ankha edit again - the intro is fine as it is.

== Preview ==

Please make sure you're continuing to use "Show preview" before saving changes - the amount of edits you made in a row to [[List of islanders]] was unnecessary. I don't want to have to give you the Preview Required sanction again, so please make sure you're not making as many consecutive edits to articles. Thanks.

:You're still making too many edits to the gallery pages, especially [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Gallery]]. I know that they're large edits, but there still shouldn't be a need to make this many. Again, please make sure you use "Show preview" as much as you can, otherwise we may have to force (its use) again. I really don't want it to come to that, but this is the final warning you'll be receiving before that happens.

Sorry, but because there are too many in the NH gallery page. {{Unsigned|Moses Sin}}
:If you need to add those character in the gallery, you don't need to continuously add them as you go through.

::Understood. {{Unsigned|Moses Sin}}

== Official artwork ==

Do not revert to a smaller transparent version of the official artwork, it should be the higher-quality artwork, even if it has a white background, according to [[Nookipedia:Upload policy|Nookipedia upload policy]]. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 02:01, April 10, 2022 (EDT)

:Note: Fine, thank you very much. {{Unsigned|Moses Sin}}

::This is your final warning regarding the matter. Do not revert to unofficial transparencies of official artwork. If you are obtaining an official transparency from somewhere, then please post the source in the file description. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 22:39, February 5, 2023 (EST)

== Transparenting ==

How can we make the character artworks transparent? No fans like it that way. {{Unsigned|Moses Sin}}
:[[Nookipedia:Upload policy#Artwork|This is described in the "Artwork" section of the upload policy that I linked earlier.]] It would need to be a separate upload, for some extremely specific cases. And in all other cases, except for those very specific cases, all instances on the wiki should showcase the highest-quality version of the official artwork, whether or not it has a background present. So that would include [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Gallery]], where it would contradict the upload policy to have lower-quality transparent versions there.

:There have actually been discussions about this transparent image issue in the past, such as [https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Nookipedia_talk:Project_Villager/2020#Villager_infobox_images here] and seemingly the roots for the upload policy starting [https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Nookipedia_talk:The_Roost/2020#Proposal_for_an_expanded_image_use_policy here]. One of the problems is, not all villagers have an official transparent version of their NH artwork, and fan-made transparencies tend to be of poor quality. It's not clear what the best solution is. It might be worth bringing up this discussion again in [[Nookipedia talk:The Roost]] and gauging consensus on the best images to display. But as it is for the current standard, the images should not be reverted unless there's a new update to the policy (and even if there is a new standard, the transparencies would probably need to be separate uploads, so reverting the current images is not a good idea for right now.)

:Also I could be misunderstanding some small details involving the policy, maybe [[User:AlexBot2004]] could chime in with more information (if he isn't busy). He would know best, as the main author of modernizing and improving the upload policy. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 04:24, April 10, 2022 (EDT)

::Thank you. {{Unsigned|Moses Sin}}

:::No problem, glad this information could help. But yeah, it does seem at least several people in the community are in support of transparent images. Just for right now, it's best not to revert the currently-existing images, unless there's another amendment to the upload policy per community consensus. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 04:44, April 10, 2022 (EDT)

== Album cover trivia ==

I don't believe it is necessary to describe all other characters that exist on an album cover, in the trivia section for every villager's page. The notable part is that the villager does exist on the artwork, and not necessarily who else is on the cover and what they are interacting with. It's not useful to state that K.K. Slider is also there, because he is on every cover. The only cover he is not on would be Bubblegum K.K., and even then, his face is a pattern decorating the background of the artwork. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 07:33, April 10, 2022 (EDT)

I am a bit borderline on this, since things like Whitney dancing with Wolfgang on the album cover are somewhat interesting trivia, but at a certain point, I think mentioning "there are multiple villagers" and K.K. being present on the cover might be not as interesting and it would be better to keep these descriptions isolated to the K.K. song pages. Though if a discussion is brought up about this and a large number of people disagree and think these features would be good to include in the villager page trivia, then I wouldn't mind, but I don't think it's good to mass-change this without maybe starting up a discussion first. In my opinion, it's just rehashing the descriptions that are already on the K.K. song pages, and the focus of the trivia is that the villager is present on the cover, and not about as much what they are doing. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 07:45, April 10, 2022 (EDT)

Anyways again, I see where you are coming from with these edits, but this is going to be a big change that will affect a large number of pages, and the changes should be consistent. (For example, why is it notable to describe Cheri's appearance on K.K. Faire but not her appearance on I Love You. And also why is it appropriate to list all of the characters on K.K. Aria but not another album cover like K.K. Fusion.) I would encourage starting a discussion proposing the major change in the structure of all of the trivia that you plan to do, and some examples. (In fact, the person who initially added the album cover trivia onto villager pages asked beforehand if adding them was okay, and added them after receiving the indication that it was fine.) I'm going to revert most of these back to their simplified forms for now. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 08:01, April 10, 2022 (EDT)

One thing that would be good to add: I think many pages are missing info about their appearances in the e-Reader card artwork. For example, [[Penny]] is in the [[K.K. Parade]] e-Reader art, so that would be good trivia to add to her page, and the fact that she gets replaced by [[Rod]] later. All of the NL/NH album covers are covered though. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 08:04, April 10, 2022 (EDT)

:Moses: Understood.

== Special character New Leaf pics ==

[[Photo#Special characters 2|For New Leaf, only 7 special characters had pics available in New Leaf, the rest of the special character pics were released in New Leaf - Welcome amiibo.]] So Happy Home Designer pics should be placed before their New Leaf - Welcome amiibo pics, due to game chronological release order (even though all of the image files on Nookipedia label the pics as "NL Model.png." Except for Bianca, Don, Jingle, Katie, K.K., Resetti, and Zipper's pics, where New Leaf should be before Happy Home Designer. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 05:42, April 18, 2022 (EDT)

:Moses: Thanks for warning.

== Hunter's Hive ==

Thank you for adding the missing Hunter's Hive in [https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Felyne&type=revision&diff=785812&oldid=781010 this edit]. I was wondering, where did you find info on Hunter's Hive second color? Currently the NL item spreadsheet has some missing secondary colors, so I might want to use the resource that you used. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 23:49, May 7, 2022 (EDT)

:Moses: Well, I work hard to search for that page, so thanks for praising me.

::No problem. But I'm still confused, how did you find information on Hunter Hive's secondary color being Gray? I can't find this info anywhere else online, and I just want to make sure this info is accurate since this information hasn't been datamined yet. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 03:51, May 8, 2022 (EDT)

:::Moses: First, go to a furniture page to find the image, and then, copy the image to bring it to the said page.

::::I'm not asking for help on adding an image to a page. I know how to do this, I've added images to pages before ([https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Felyne&type=revision&diff=763644&oldid=763592 like here]). I'm asking where you obtained the 2nd color for Hunter's Hive. The NL item spreadsheet only lists "Brown/-" for the item, but you listed "Brown/Gray." I want to know where you obtained the value of "gray" from. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 04:24, May 8, 2022 (EDT)

:::::Moses: OK, I saw the image's other color looking gray, that was how.

::::::I see, thank you for letting me know. Visually, it does seem likely that the secondary color is gray, and some color information is missing from the NL item spreadsheet, so it is a real possibility that this is the item's true secondary color. But for now, this information shouldn't be added until it's datamined or researched. Some furniture items have colors that are counterintuitive (for example, the guidelines the developers used to choose if certain pieces of furniture are brown or beige seem completely arbitrary). Since this information was determined visually rather than from in-game testing, a guide, or from a datamined source, it would be be better not to include this for now. (Even though it might be completely correct.) I thought that maybe you obtained it from a guide or from testing it yourself, because all of the other information such as the theme, style, and customization were accurate. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 04:41, May 8, 2022 (EDT)

:::::::Moses: Deal.

::::::::Just wanted to mention that I bought a Welcome amiibo Japanese guidebook that contains information about items and their colors. It lists Hunter's Hive as Beige/Brown rather than Brown/Gray. While guidebooks tend to contain many errors, it is known that this item should have 2 colors. The guidebook is the best source we have to go on until we obtain all of the item colors through datamining.

== New Leaf Items ==

I'm not sure where you're obtaining your data for New Leaf items or if you're making educated guesses, but it's becoming a consistent issue now. You keep changing values that are already correct into incorrect values, as seen [https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Clothing%2FNew_Leaf%2FHeadgear&type=revision&diff=802369&oldid=765156 here], [https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Harvest_Series&curid=993&diff=802336&oldid=777170 here], and [https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Furniture/New_Leaf&diff=prev&oldid=802328 here]. You should be using the [[Community:ACNL Spreadsheet|New Leaf item spreadsheet]]. (I mentioned this before, but some secondary colors for items are missing in the NL spreadsheet, but other than that, it has the most accurate info.) So don't guess colors or copy information from other websites which may potentially contain incorrect info, use the NL spreadsheet.

==Welcome amiibo RV Villagers==

Welcome amiibo RV villagers can be invited from someone else's town, do not say they are amiibo cards only. The only Welcome amiibo villagers who are amiibo only are the following crossover characters:

*Sanrio villagers: Chai, Chelsea, Rilla, Marty, Toby
*Splatoon: Cece, Inkwell, Viché
*Zelda: Epona, Ganon, Medli, W. Link
*Monster Hunter: Felyne [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 22:13, May 22, 2022 (EDT)
:While you're not wrong HylianAngel, I feel the the lack of any disclaimers for the Welcome amiibo villagers is likely going to mislead people into thinking you can obtain these villagers in all the same ways as the base game villagers when you actually can't, since these villagers still cannot move in via the random move-in process or the campsite (the tent one, not the one Harvey runs).

I hastily typed out the message because Moses Sin was in the process of mass-adding the information that the RV NLWa villagers were available via amiibo only. I think it should be noted, but the wording needs to be fixed first. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 02:23, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
::I'm not sure on the wording, but maybe something in this style would be more suited:
::*"In {{NLWa}}, [PLACEHOLDER] can only move to the player's town if his [[amiibo]] card is scanned, or if he is invited to move in from another player's town."
::*"In {{NLWa}}, [PLACEHOLDER] can only move to the player's town if her [[amiibo]] card is scanned, or if she is invited to move in from another player's town."
::Ideally, the first instance of "player" and "town" in the article should be hyperlinked, but some villagers were introduced in Doubutsu no Mori e+ and would likely be the first mention of those words in the article.

== New Horizons starting villagers ==

I don't think it's necessary to mention if a villager can't be a starting villager in New Horizons. This applies to all villagers except for those with jock and big sister personalities, so that's 330 villagers. It might be better to have a discussion (about whether to mention it) first and let a bot do the work if approved.

Before mass-editing these pages, you should try to reach a consensus on [[Nookipedia talk:The Roost|The Roost]] first to see if it's a necessary or wanted type of edit.

You have already been warned 4 prior times to preview your edits, yet you're still continuing to make consecutive edits.

If you want to avoid this issue, then please edit the entire page rather than separate your edits by section. You can do so by clicking "Edit" at the very top of the page, just under the main title header (if you're on mobile, it is a pencil icon, instead).

Recently you have been adding missing characteristic information for special characters.

== Poor edits ==

Almost every comma you have added is incorrect. In each scenario, it was being used as part of a prepositional phrase, so adding the comma actually makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. Here is some info:

https://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/which_that_who_comma_or_not.htm

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/comma-before-which/

You know that these edits are being reverted; you've added it twice to pages such as Sparro ([https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Sparro&type=revision&diff=738950&oldid=737792 here] and [https://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Sparro&type=revision&diff=901694&oldid=895781 here]). However, you are forcing these incorrect edits onto dozens of pages despite knowing that this type of edit has been reverted in the past. This is a reoccurring behavior of edits; there are many other scenarios where you have added back an edit that we had to revert from you, some being documented on your talk page. This is unacceptable and borderline edit-warring. If you showcase this behavior again, you will receive an official warning. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 15:12, September 3, 2022 (EDT)

Also to be clear: sometimes we might revert an edit that's actually proper and shouldn't have been removed, since sometimes we make mistakes. But you re-adding the edit without communication, and adding that edit repeatedly, is not the appropriate way to address the situation. You must communicate; otherwise, it's edit-warring. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 15:31, September 3, 2022 (EDT)

== Warning ==

{{BlockWarning|It is not appropriate to reinstate your reverted edits without communication, as this constitutes as edit warring and violates [[Nookipedia:Policy|Nookipedia editing policy]]. In my previous message to you, I reverted an improper type of edit from you on 15 different pages and asked you to refrain from adding this type of edit again; after leaving my message, you then repeated this type of edit on [[Shrunk]]'s page. Additionally, outside of this particular case, you have a repeated history of reinstating your reverted edits without communication. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 18:53, September 4, 2022 (EDT)}}

:Sorry for my ignorance. [[User:Moses Sin|Moses Sin]] ([[User talk:Moses Sin|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Moses Sin|contributions]]) 11:40, September 29, 2022 (EDT)

== Final warning ==

{{BlockWarning|After the previous warning, you added the same type of improper edit to 3 more pages (Blathers, Katrina, and Phineas). This is a total of at least 18 edits that have had to be reverted because you are ignoring attempts at communication. You will be blocked from editing Nookipedia if you continue this behavior. I would prefer not having to resort to this, so please either communicate back or stop reinstating your reverted edits.

== Final warning for excessive consecutive edits ==

I really appreciate all the contributions you've been making recently, but I do want to yet again point out that you're still making too many consecutive edits to pages even though you're already subject to Preview Required sanctions. You made four small edits to Jingle's gallery and three in a row to many other galleries. These can easily be done in a single edit, and it's now getting to the point where page histories consist almost entirely of your edits. I'm not going to place another warning template here, but you can consider this an unofficial final warning on this matter. If these issues continue, we will start issuing blocks of increasing duration in future, and I really don't want to have to resort to that. Hopefully we can avoid this though. 

Thanks for reading, and keep contributing. [[User:Drago|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:green">Drago</span>]] [[User talk:Drago|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:purple">(talk)</span>]]    [[File:Drago PC Villager Icon.png|20px]] 13:55, September 11, 2022 (EDT)

== 2-week ban ==

You have been [[#Poor edits|reminded]] about your poor comma placements a while back, yet [[Special:Diff/905185|you've continued to ignore this reminder]] even after you've been sent at a warning and two final warnings regarding your edit behavior. Upon further evaluation with staff, you have been banned for two weeks. Please don't take this as a discouragement from editing. Take this time to review the messages that other users have sent and review Nookipedia's [[Nookipedia:Policy|policy page]] and [[Nookipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]].

::The reason why you were assigned to use the preview button before saving your edits is because of your continuously consecutive edits that could easily be done in one edit. I know it can be a habit to make a ton of changes to one page at a time, but doing so can flood [[Special:RecentChanges]] and the history log of the page in question, making it harder to monitor changes to an article if it's being done too many times. I know you want to prove that you can change this habit, so once you return to editing, I recommend to always use the preview button to check up on your work. This should be the case to check up on grammatical issues or changes that might break an article or template. If you can prove yourself by not making too many edits consecutively, we can rescind your PreviewRequired role. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 13:40, September 17, 2022 (EDT)

== amiibo artwork ==

You recently uploaded 3 amiibo artworks, [[:File:Bonbon HHD.png]], [[:File:Eugene HHD.png]], and [[:File:Rodney HHD.png]]. Are you obtaining these from the [https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Animal_Crossing_Wiki Animal Crossing Fandom Wiki]? You are listing the source as "[https://animal-crossing.com/amiibo/collections/series-1-4-amiibo-cards Nintendo of America page]," but when I examined the Bonbon artwork that you uploaded to Nookipedia compared to the Fandom version, they look almost identical. We want to credit the correct the original source of the artwork, so we don't want to lie and say we got it from a completely different location. Ideally, we would want to crop them from their original amiibo cards, [[:File:049 Bonbon amiibo card NA.png|like from here]], rather than using the images uploaded to Fandom. But if you do use the Fandom images, you need to say that is the source. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 05:49, February 24, 2023 (EST)

:Sorry, because I thought Animal Crossing Wiki is forbidden to copy. [[User:Moses Sin|Moses Sin]] ([[User talk:Moses Sin|talk]]) 05:49, February 24, 2023 (EST)

::Animal Crossing Fandom Wiki operates under CC-BY-SA, which means anyone may re-use their content if they give the original authors proper attribution. However, copy-pasting swathes of text from the Fandom wiki onto Nookipedia does not fall under proper attribution. When you copy-paste the text from another wiki and submit it here without attribution, that is a copyright violation. Passing off someone else's written work, pretending that it is your own written work, is a copyright violation. From a personal standpoint, I do not condone this type of behavior, and I don't think this wiki needs content written by the users of other wikis, especially without their permission or without proper credit/attribution. That was the behavior that you were participating in earlier, and we had to revert those changes.

::Most of the images operate differently, under fair use, as we don't own them (the copyright belongs to Nintendo). While I can't say that it is a forbidden activity, I extremely advise against using the Fandom Wiki images; there is no reason to use the images from Fandom, because the artwork can be very easily cropped from the amiibo cards themselves.

:::Sorry, but I'm not good at making transparent images. [[User:Moses Sin|Moses Sin]] ([[User talk:Moses Sin|talk]]) 06:15, February 24, 2023 (EST)

== NL Renders ==

The New Leaf Charlise render ([[:File:Charlise NL.png]]) that you overwrote using the version from the Fandom wiki is most likely not official transparency. The Fandom wiki does not list a source for the image, so it is most likely a fan transparency rather than from an official source (e.g. an official Nintendo website or press kit). Fandom wikis can't be used as a source for official transparencies, so I'll need to revert it. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 20:38, February 28, 2023 (EST)

:Because I refuse to see images with no transparency. If no one else makes them, GAME OVER! [[User:Moses Sin|Moses Sin]] ([[User talk:Moses Sin|talk]]) 20:40, February 28, 2023 (EST)

::It's explained in the [[Nookipedia:Upload_policy#Artwork|Nookipedia image policy]], fan transparencies tend to be lower quality, which is why the background should be left intact. I understand that you really want all of the artwork to have transparent backgrounds (some other users do too), but you should not force these changes on your own, especially since [[User talk:Moses Sin#Transparenting|you've been asked not to do so in the past]]. Again, you should try to gauge consensus in [[Nookipedia talk:The Roost]] before trying to implement a change that contradicts the image policy and will have an effect on hundreds of images.

:::I just did Hippeux's page just now. Please, see for yourself if that one is allowed. [[User:Moses Sin|Moses Sin]] ([[User talk:Moses Sin|talk]]) 21:05, February 28, 2023 (EST)

::::After I mentioned that "Fandom wikis can't be used as a source for official transparencies," you overwrote the existing Hippeux NL artwork with a cropped version downloaded from the Fandom wiki with the description comment "Bigger plus official transparency." No, this does not count as an official transparency. The Fandom wiki does not list a source, so it is more than likely an unofficial transparency. Although the image shouldn't even be changed in the first place, failing to update the source from Nintendo to Fandom after uploading a new version of the file is misleading, which is not acceptable.
