Super Mario World Report 6

Acnhmaster (talk | contribs | logs) hasn’t edited using this account so probably no point in banning to begin with but I think it might be Acnh Player (talk | contribs | logs) ban evading once again. Would staff take a look? Super Mario World 19:47, September 16, 2024 (EDT)

We'll keep an eye on it, but unfortunately we need to see what their behavior is like, and we can't do that before they edit. I'd say it's most likely a coincidence. New Horizons is a popular game so it's probable that other editors will want to base their name around it. Drago (talk) 10:41, September 17, 2024 (EDT)

Report from The Jacketed Terrapin

Isabelle farts in Tom Nook's face (talk | contribs | logs) Clearly a vandal account. The Jacketed Terrapin 15:46, October 2, 2024 (EDT)

Thank you for the report and also for reverting their edits, that account is blocked from editing now. HylianAngel (talk) 18:54, October 2, 2024 (EDT)

Super Mario World Report 7

Fart (talk | contribs | logs) hasn’t edited using this account so probably no point in banning to begin with but I think it might be an alt of Isabelle farts in Tom Nook's face (talk | contribs | logs) and Isabelle farts loudly in Tom Nook's face (talk | contribs | logs). Would staff take a look? Super Mario World 20:08, October 7, 2024 (EDT)

Spam filter

help i got a problem. i tried to save a page but there was a url in the edit summary. for some reason it said it was spam even though it was just a shortened url of a grammar explanation page. help. See this video:

Charlotte (talk) 14:01, September 1, 2024 (EDT)

This is because MediaWiki (the software) by default has filters for URL shorteners as a precaution for spam. I will ask Nookipedia staff if the link shortener URL is good to go to be whitelisted. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 20:25, September 1, 2024 (EDT)

After talking with some staff, there's really no reason and nothing good to come to whitelist the shortened URL that you posted in your edit summary as it obfuscates the actual link with no knowledge as to where it goes and that it can break.

However, it should be noted that you can post the link by removing all the extra bits at the end of the non-shortened URL to only have https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-life-hacks/writing/quotation-mark-rules instead. Hope it helps. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 09:41, September 2, 2024 (EDT)

Inappropriate content in the abuse log

there is inappropriate content in the abuse log by the way. Charlotte (talk) 16:31, September 2, 2024 (EDT)

The account has been renamed, so nothing inappropriate should be visible there now. Thanks! Drago (talk) 10:51, September 5, 2024 (EDT)

The username still appears as "* * * * NOOKFRIENDS" to me. yes, the user has been renamed, but it still appears as the inappropriate one in the abuse log. Charlotte (talk) 21:21, September 5, 2024 (EDT)

Yeah, sorry, I noticed this myself later. I can't hide the username myself, so I'll have to go back to the other admins and work out what we can do next. Drago (talk) 10:42, September 6, 2024 (EDT)

Unfortunately, unlike the normal logs, account renames don't reflect in the AbuseLog. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 13:53, September 6, 2024 (EDT)

Nookipedia Discord ban

Username: yoshiwoollyworld (username at time of ban was Chinchou#6286)

Reason for ban: I barged in multiple NIWA servers (including Nookipedia) during March 2021 to ask questions about harassment so I could troll everyone across NIWA by telling everyone that I bullied someone on Facebook. I bullied the guy because he and his friends bullied me first and I wanted to get revenge for the bullying. Don’t think I did this on Nookipedia’s server specifically but on other NIWA servers I did bother other people by dming them asking personal questions about which countries they live in. I didn’t intend to be a creep with this but I just never really thought I was asking really personal of a question compared to asking for people’s house addresses or something so I thought everyone would be comfortable sharing this info. I also bothered lots of people about topics involving the police and didn’t really respect people’s boundaries and wishes in general.

I absolutely deserved the ban from the Nookipedia server and probably don’t deserve a second chance nor will I make another appeal if this one fails but I wanted to tell everyone that I will properly behave myself and will not act the way I did before ever again.

Cargo error with Felicity

There seems to be an issue with File:Felicity DnMe+ Model.png in the cargos, as they're displaying "File:Felicity PG Model.png" instead, which doesn't exist. The Jacketed Terrapin 14:32, September 4, 2024 (EDT)

It's very mysterious, since I don't see anything incorrect about the syntax of {{PGVillagerInfo}}, but I specified the image name on Felicity's page instead of letting the template auto-generate it based on the page name and category, and it seems to be okay now. My thinking is it must have messed up after this edit that removed Category:New characters in Doubutsu no Mori e+, since that's what the "#cargo_store" section is looking for and if it doesn't see it, it defaults to PG Model instead of DnMe+ Model.
