Nookipedia:Project Items

This project is in need of a leader!

If you're interested in leading this project, please bring up a discussion on this Project's talk page. List a few bullet points explaining your plans for the project (how you plan to improve it or revive it). Once a staff member has reviewed your plans, or if you've received support from several editors, you may take the lead!

This project page needs to be updated.

Please edit this project page to reflect updated content or newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page.
Further details: 

• Needs re-writing and expansion as we are now creating pages for each individual item in the Item namespace
• Needs New Horizons information
• Information on non-furniture items needs to be added
• Tables how-to needs to be updated to cover Cargo querying

Project Items is a collaborative wiki project covering anything related to in-game items, such as furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, and tools.

Members can be viewed at the members list. If you would like to join, simply add yourself to the list.

Purpose

Project Items primarily deals with the maintenance of various furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, tools, and other items under the Item namespace. The project also concerns itself with pages that organize items based on series, set, theme, and categories, on their properties (e.g. color, HHA theme), or their function (bed, clock etc.). These item pages are linked via a Cargo installation in order to store and query all of our item data. More information on this effort can be found at Project Database.

• Create item pages for miscellaneous items (see "Other Items" tab on ACNL Spreadsheet)

Item tables

• Update all tables using the outdated {{TableHeader}} template to use the {{TableTop}} template (see Category:Pages with outdated item tables)

• If possible, replace any manual tables with tables that pull from item pages using Cargo.

Miscellaneous

• Update all item names to use their in-game capitalization rather than title case.

How-tos

Capitalization

Rules regarding item capitalization were formally addressed in a proposal in November 2022. Users agreed to use the in-game capitalization for item names (e.g., blue chair, sea bass). At the moment, only series, themes, sets, and categories are to be left in title case.

Tables

Tables make up the bulk of most furniture articles. And we don't mean the ones you put your silly computer on. The box below lists some basic wikitext code used to construct a table. Nookipedia uses templates that incorporate these elements, so you don't need to worry about including them when editing furniture articles. However it's still helpful to know what this code does in the event you need to work with raw table coding.

{| indicates start of a table

|} indicates end of a table

! column header title

| creates new cell in the same row

|- adds a new row

Table templates

When creating a table of furniture items, it's important to know what templates to use to generate the tables. Nookipedia uses a template using {{TableTop}} to create a collapsible container for the table and generates the table's column header labels. Following this, if there is Cargo data for the game in question, declare a Cargo table using #cargo_query. The table needs to have template under format, have named args set to yes, and use a a Cargo display template for template. This also necessitates the need to declare fields for the table to format properly. If no Cargo data exists for a game, you can use {{TableContent}} and manually add the data in. Finally, a {{TableFooter}} can be added to close the table, and may be used to add a note value based on the need for attribution. For more info on how to use them, be sure to visit their corresponding template page for documentation or check Project Items/Table Templates.
