Welcome!

Welcome to Nookipedia, Sunmarsh!

We're glad you've taken the step to create an account and edit our wiki! With an account you'll now be able to easily edit pages, participate in discussions, watch pages, track your edits, and have access to additional editing tools. You can also create and edit your own user page.

If you intend to continue editing, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Read our wiki's general use and editing, and privacy policies.
  • Preview your changes before saving them to avoid the need for making corrections afterwards.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes instead of undoing or reinstating changes repeatedly without discussion.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This code will automatically leave your name and a timestamp.

You can find editing tutorials and further information about our policies on the help pages.

Where to start? Check out the The Roost for the latest discussions, or consult the to-do list on the Main Page to see tasks that need to be worked on.
Questions? Feel free to ask a member of staff directly, post your question on the The Roost talk page, or ask about it on our Discord icon Discord server. We're always happy to help!
Thank you for your contributions, and have a great time! -- Nookipedia Staff


Signing comments

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 (~~~~). 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 Community Fountain to get help from the general community). Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk 18:27, July 14, 2014 (EDT)

Mario's Reply

Usually, in a section title, the only letters you should capitalize are the first one and proper nouns.

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.

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.

Thanks for asking! I hope I helped. Mario Signature.png 19:40, July 14, 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for the reply. I was actually referring to items from the first Animal Crossing game, not ACNL. I also have the guide to Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk so I could scan those guides for item images as well. --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. Mario Signature.png 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. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 02:38, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
Hm, maybe you're right. I guess scans would have to do, but if you're able to obtain screenshots from, say, an emulator, the more the better. Mario Signature.png 16:19, July 15, 2014 (EDT)

Multiple Edits

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! :) --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. --sunmarsh (talk) 16:40, July 15, 2014 (EDT)

Autopatrol

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. :) Mario Signature.png 22:42, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
