Buyer's Tips
Can I just ask for clarification what you mean when you say 'Buyer's tips', under the the 'see' section? Do you mean buying items in the game? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question :P
 * I think he means buying items in the game. There's already some stuff there. - Speck

Animal Forest?
I'm pretty sure Animal Forest and Animal Crossing are the same thing... Do we really need a whole other article on it? Maybe a Fun Fact... 70.134.66.105 03:18, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)   -Code J-

Actually, there were two different versions of the game in Japan. Animal Forest+ and Animal Forest e+ for the N64 and GCN respectivley. E+, the second one, had many new features that the first one didn't, such as new things from Animal Crossing (US) - Puphles 21:06, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Ahh...bad call on my part. Whoops! Codejkoolguy 03:19, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)

genre?
What genre do guys think we should classify the AC games as? RPG? Communication? other? We should try too keep it consistant too, once we've decided. -Puphles 17:43, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)

AC isn't an RPG. While we are playing the role of our characters, the RPG genre consists of character leveling and story. AC should be classified as a simulation; if you want to be a bit more precise about it, it's a community simulation or social simulation. -[[User:Shivver|Shivver]

well, to be consistent with the wikipedia article, how about role-playing game, life simulation, and communication adventure? its what nintendo said...--Aeryka 06:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Last I heard it was called a town simulation. To be more general, it's simulation. Stumpers 02:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

troll prevention
With the increase of trolling lately, does anyone have any suggestions for how to prevent them? Unfortunatly, there aren't any sysops, so we can't block IP addresses. Any other ideas?


 * What sort of trolling has there been? The only problem I'm aware of is the spam, which we're working on preventing now. Reporting it at the Wikicities:Talk:Spam Blacklist page is the best thing to do for now. Angela (talk) 16:12, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you serious? No sysops?  Wow!  How have you guys been doing so well without them?  Can't you contact Wikia or something to make another sysop or is that not needed? Stumpers 02:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

main page edit
If someone knows how, we need to reformat the main page so the ACWW box doesnt overlap the boxes at the bottom of the page. 

--Puphles 02:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Although the main page has been changed, it's still messed up. Any changes would be appriciated.

Logo
Can we get a logo up easily? If it's a matter of just having one of us make one, I suppose I could volunteer, but then again, I'm new, so maybe I'm not the best guy for that. Stumpers 02:45, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You are welcome to upload one and then leave a note here and I can set it as the logo. For the older skins, the image should be no larger than 150 pixels square. For the new skins (like quartzsmoke), the logo should be 266px wide and 75 pixels high. Angela (talk) 17:20, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I hope to work on that after I finish up the article I'm currently working on! Stumpers 17:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Spam Pages
I've found 1 spam page: Guestbook/. It's a list of links to, as far as I can figure, "mature" sites. I will be deleting all text now, and reporting it to our only sysop. :) Are there any other spam pages? Stumpers 23:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for spotting that. I've deleted it. Angela (talk) 17:20, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for deleting it! Stumpers 17:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

This next one isn't so much of a spam page as it is redundent. Animal Crossing DS is released! is a page that simply repeats its title. However, I think that anyone trying to figure out if Animal Crossing:Wild World had been released, they would head on over to its page. Should it be deleted? Stumpers 22:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * That page was probably created with the calendar feature, though the calendar itself was deleted by Aeryka. Angela (talk) 05:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoa... I'm such a newbie to Wikia! Sorry about that!  Thanks for all your help, Angela! Stumpers 05:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Images
Here's an idea for getting images from Wild World: The Nintendo Power Player's Guide. Does anyone have it who can scan in the images? I think they have pictures of just about every image in the game. If someone has other ideas for images from any AC game, especially the original game and its Japanese counterparts, can you post here? I've been having a hard time finding images of specific senerios. Stumpers 00:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikia Gaming footer
I went ahead and added a Wikia Gaming footer to the bottom of the Main Page. We're trying to get Wikia's gaming wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, so you can remove it if you really hate it, but it would be appreciated if you didn't :). You can change the links to point to any other wikia wikis you like or cooperate with.

 * Free publicity? Sweet.  I'm not going to complain. Stumpers 02:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Bubsy and the Pitfall
IGN.com recently noted in their Super Smash Bros. Brawl FAQ that the pitfall was designed after Bubsy the Cat's t-shirt. Take a look: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p38/StumpersII/bubsy.jpg Do you guys think it's just a coincidence? Stumpers 04:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Its most likely just a coincidence, its a VERY simple design. UnijuXP 23:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I researched him some more, and it turns out the company that created the games is USA based. AC, of course, is Japanese.  Bubsy was a very minor player in the SNES era, and even more minor during the N64 era.  The company is now defunct.  I'd also say it's probably a coincidence.  Stumpers 00:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Fanon Page
An unknown user just created the United Towns of Animal Crossing, ending it with a "to be continued" statement. As far as I know, the page qualifies as fanon. Can someone delete it? Stumpers 22:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
Lately we seem to be getting a lot more vandalism on the site. While it's easy to undo and all, some vandals have taken the liberty of replacing text with their statements over the course of several page edits. In other words, if anyone else makes a good edit during this time, the person who cleans up the vandalism is forced to waddle through the history of the page. Long story short, it's not fair to rely on users alone to protect the Wiki from Vandalism. Should this problem continue or get worse, I highly think we should get another sysop here. We only have one currently, and as far as I know they haven't been here for a while. Stumpers 22:03, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * For anyone who read the above comment, it seems as though vandalism on existing pages is gone... must have had a weird user or whatever. I dunno.  Right now it's more in line with the creation of spam pages, but that's easy to fix. Stumpers 03:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Character Information Template
I was wondering if you guys would like a Character Information Template. This would include a space for the name of the character, a picture of the character, the gender, the date of birth if its a villager (or Tom Nook, if anyone remembers when his b-day is o.0), a section for information if its a visiting character (ie time, items given out), and finally a place for the games he or she has appeared in. I think I'll try to make it, but if anyone wants anything else in the box, please let me know here. Stumpers 03:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
