Photo Comp
A while ago, Fleurione did a photo compotition, only with one winner. I was wondering if I could start one up again. I loved the idea, and wished I was around when it was going on. Zebras are Mean Ray Talk 2 me 02:15, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can try and have a go if you want, it might get some people involved :) You have access to the welcome/main page, so you could announce competitions there :) MerrytonRyan 17:11, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

The photo comp is set up, there is a link on the front page, if you want to move it you can. Are you going to enter? It would be an honor if you did. Zebras are Mean Ray Talk 2 me 22:08, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Termination
How do I terminate my account, as I am not satisfied with the services and the level of criticism when I attempted to make this wikia better! Perhaps my information may have been previously stated, but I do not see why I should have to face such false discrimination, and behavior, as I was only tring to be a better person, and help out the Wikia in the hope that many other Animal Crossing players and users may require help in these specific areas. Please inform me on how to terminate my account, as I do not wish to be part of this wikia any more, due to the blatant rudeness I have recieved.

Thankyou, ItsMeMatty (Not Much Longer, hopefully...)


 * I'm sorry to see this. You may have to ask Wikia themselves to terminate your account, because accounts are not dealt with by us. Is this about the edit you did recently to the Town page? I don't believe I was rude at all, infact I summarised why the page edit was irrelevant, in the small amount of space I had (a summary of an edit is limited, so you have to be as blunt as possible). If I had questioned your intelligence, or not mentioned why it was irrelevant, then it could be seen as rude, but I am sorry if there was a misunderstanding :) If you would like, I could go through with you why the Town edit you recently had done wasn't relevant to the page? The edit also used block capitals as titles, which are seen as aggressive to readers. MerrytonRyan 19:44, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

I really can't decide...
Right, i'm in an Animal Crossing LGTTC Game, that I started on Boxing Day. Since then, things are OK, except my town layout. However, I cannot change my town layout, without erasing my town, and hard work! My house will be gone, etc. I don' know whether to start off over, or carry on!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Hmmm, well you've only been playing since Boxing Day, so starting over won't be too much of a problem :) What's wrong with your town layout? MerrytonRyan 14:20, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for that mate. I restarted and now I am doing much better than before! I have all fruits (apart from apples), and my house in on expansion 3!

HELP!!!
Hiya, Merryton! Can you please undo my edit to the GCN Animal Crossing? PLEASE do!!!!!

Also can you undo the person before Me's Edit too?

THANKS A BUNCH!!!! P.S: How do you get signatures? Thanks Again! ACfanGirl1683264 16:54, January 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. To do this in the future, all you have to do is go to: History > Undo > Go through the "older edits" until you find the okay copy, then edit, then save (make sure the copy you are editing is the right copy with all the accurate text!) For some reason, you can't undo edits when the page has been totally vandalised or edited a certain number of times. Quite annoying sometimes! That particular user has been blocked for a month :) I think you add signatures or edit your signature (the ~ one) by going through the settings/preferences at the top right hand corner. I don't use them, so I'm in the same boat as you are really :) MerrytonRyan 17:02, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Please Block
Please block 24.178.118.147, for he is screwing around with a ton of pages, mainly Del. Zebras are Mean Ray Talk 2 me 00:20, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Pave Page
Why is it blocked? Am I too new to edit the page, or what? 75.86.134.162 21:18, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Only admins can edit that page. I don't know why, though. Zebras are Mean Ray Talk 2 me 22:29, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a complete page :) May I ask what you wanted to added? MerrytonRyan 22:59, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry - the anon was me not signed in. Shouldn't it be kept open for editing even once "finished" to a project's standard though? That's how most other wikis work. About what I wanted to add - I was going through and adding all the Special Species Boxes to Special Species, but Pave was blocked and I couldn't add it. :)  —AnimalCrosser  Talk to me and gimme your pic!  21:12, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I shall unprotect it now :) MerrytonRyan 21:43, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Special Species box added.  —AnimalCrosser  Talk to me and gimme your pic!  22:02, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

WW Guides
About the WW guides, and all guides, for that matter... Shouldn't that data be included of the WW guide page. Then the WW lists can be deleted, and there would be one central guide for each game. Zebras are Mean Ray Talk 2 me 19:49, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I believe that was the plan, yes :) I think I deleted the City Folk version called Secrets (or something like that). Some pages like Money Rock and Money Tree hold quite alot of information, so deleting those pages may cause problems. MerrytonRyan 21:40, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

What about pages like Villagers (WW) and others, they should at least be merged into a page on all of it. Zebras are Mean Ray Talk 2 me 22:36, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm, you could always redirect the page to the Animal Crossing: Wild World Characters category :) Having a villager page for each game is a bit tedious and serves no real purpose other than act as a category, which already exists :/ Or, maybe a Villagers List page, where all villagers are named, with AF/AC/WW/CF/AM next to them? :) MerrytonRyan 00:46, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * That is a great idea, should we make it? Zebras are Mean Ray Talk 2 me 01:08, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure :) Just a link on the Villager page and adding the relevant information to a Villager List page and it'll be done :) How many villagers are there come to think of it? It's approx. 40 villagers per personality... So if it's in the same style as the Fish and Bug pages, it shouldn't look too messy. Unless we bundle them up, so there are two columns of villager names:


 * Villager 1 | AC, WW, CF | Villager 2 | WW, CF


 * That might shrink the page a little bit, but it depends if it has an impact on how clean it looks. Something to to test out on the test page :) MerrytonRyan 01:11, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Flags?
Hi, MerrytonRyan. Um, can you please make a userbox with Ireland's flag on it? Thanks in advance! -ACfanGirl1683264 18:20, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, Wikia are currently undergoing maintenance, so I can't upload the Irish flag. All you have to do is put the usual country infobox, and under "flag" you put Ireland.png (I'll upload a png picture of the flag for you) :)
 * So add the following:
 * It should work once Wikia is out of maintenance and allowing file uploads :)

A quick question.
Hello, there! I was just wondering if there was an IRC for this Wiki. I found the #animalcrossingwiki one, but that does not seem to be used. Blue Lionheart  23:44, January 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not aware of one. If there was one, Dab or Dragonfree would be the ones to ask (though Dab seems to be gone now, so best bet is Dragonfree). There was a forum set up a while ago, but that's not really an IRC and one of them would be useful! MerrytonRyan 23:52, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

K.K. Disco
K.K. Disco was just created by an IP address, I am wondering if it is acutally real, just to be sure... Ray Talk 2 me 22:45, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Japanese villager names
Hello. I recently joined the community, and have been talking with User:SuperAlpaca in User_talk:Kilwala about the possibility of adding the Japanese names of villagers to their pages, since many of the English names vary from the Japanese, and it's interesting to note such differences. Doing a bit of research today, I found this Japanese wiki for, which lists villager names in katakana (Japanese characters). I minored in Japanese in college, and I know a fair bit, and I can read the names of the villagers in Japanese, and thought it might be nice to put those translations up. At any rate, User:SuperAlpaca suggested that I ask you on how to credit the Japanese wiki in question. I was thinking I would likely just do so by placing a superscript after each Japanese name which links to a References or Notes section at the bottom of the page (as is done with pages at Wikipedia), but I'm not sure if that's what is preferred. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! Kilwala 22:54, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * You technically do not need to credit the Japanese Wiki, as the Japanese names of the villagers are freely available information about the game. You would only have to put the name in a bracket, for example:
 * Purrl ( in the Japanese versions of the game) ...
 * So accrediting the Japanese Wiki would be needless, seeing as they didn't create the game, nor did they create the names :)
 * MerrytonRyan 23:00, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay, I wasn't sure! I was thinking that the information was out there easily enough (if I played the Japanese AC for example, I could find the names for myself), but I guess majoring in English in college and writing so many papers and getting used to citing so many sources, I wanted to make sure I was good and covered credit-wise. I suppose it's habit. Thanks! Kilwala 00:34, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Talk Bubbles
Hello there. My name is Nitrous X, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've noticed that this wiki doesn't have any talk bubbles, so I decided to introduce them to an admin. Talk bubbles can be used on discussion pages and they help distinguish between different users' text. I'm not quite sure who invented them, but I know of at least 3 wikis that use them, and I noticed that they'd be perfect for an animal crossing wiki. I've created a few prototypes for the animal crossing series on a different wiki. Just go to the bottom of the page and you'll see two different talk bubbles for the villages Stitches and Dotty.

Here's the link: http://kingdomheartsfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Nitrous_X/Talkbubbles

Hope you take them into consideration! --Nitrous X 18:30, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * They do look very good :) I'm guessing the Stiches and Dotty examples are to show what it would look like as a user to post to another user, rather than have the talk bubbles on the Stitches and Dotty pages (because that would look messy)? So, for example, I could have a talk bubble instead of typing like this on the talk page? MerrytonRyan 18:43, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * There are talk bubbles on other wikis that I edit, like Zeldapedia. I enjoy them, and they have pretty colours! Ray Talk 2 me 20:26, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

@MerrytonRyan: Yes, it'd be like if I was using one here, on a User Talk page or just any discussion page.

@Ray: Indeed they do have pretty colours!

Anyhow, if you'd like to use them, I can ask my friend Xiggie to get them set up here. --Nitrous X 20:41, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Pic Page?
Hi! You are like the master of this website with ALL sorts of interestin info so I was wonderin if you could make a page for Pictures! You know those ones you get after you become BFF's with the villager in ACWW and they give you there pic. Please!!! Some taco-head (ya i dunno just came to me) DELETED the whole page and so, PLEASE I NEED MORE INFO ON IT!

ACProAsian 13:53, February 12, 2010 (UTC)ACProAsian101

Do you mean the Picture page? There appears to be no records of it being removed :) MerrytonRyan 01:29, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Marina and Octavian
Hey MerrytonRyan,

Just curious to whether Octavian and Marina (the octopus villagers) are America-exclusive, or what the chances are of getting them in my town! I tried on my other Wii on over thirty different villages, yet, no response of either.

I ask as the comment above has had no reply,

Thanks,

GiggityGiggityGoo 21:31, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is a very good question, as I am yet to see anyone have these two villagers as residents. They must be either incredibly rare, or only appear in the American version. I guess this might be a question for Google or Animal Crossing developers :)

New Rollbacker
I think that this wiki is in need of a new rollbacker, so I think we should look into it. Ray Talk 2 me 06:54, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Silly question, but what's a rollbacker? :P - MerrytonRyan 13:44, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, an admin. Just someone to be higher ranked. There aren't many admins active on this wiki, compared to other wikis. Ray Talk 2 me[[File:Doggie Mask.gif]] 17:36, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ahhh, makes sense now :P Is there a problem at the moment? I've noticed the wikia not receiving as many users as it used too, so keeping up with edits has been okay so far :) - MerrytonRyan 18:44, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

There is no problem, I just think we should be setting up a system for admins/rollbacks. That would help this wiki, in my opinion. Do you know how to type the little notice things at the top of the page, that you can dismiss? Ray Talk 2 me 20:13, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

You don't really want to have more admins than members, especially when everything is pretty calm and stable as it is. Although we could probably add another admin to the mix just incase. Do you have any recommendations? :) Also, good call on the notice. I have no idea how you change it! - MerrytonRyan 21:05, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

A rollbacker is a person with rollback rights. You know how you can only undo the newest edit? With rollback rights, you can undo miltiple edits at once. I will look into who would be a good admin. Do you have any suggestions? Ray Talk 2 me 23:12, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Tomasto seems to be good at editing :) - MerrytonRyan 00:32, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * He is still pretty knew. I would wait a little longer and see if he stays. (let's hope so :D) Ray Talk 2 me[[File:Doggie Mask.gif]] 02:37, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * Quite alot of them haven't been on for a while. Bluelionheart pops on every now and again, so maybe she would be a good contender? - MerrytonRyan 13:45, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

She would be a good choice. I will still see if there are other good contenders, though. Ray Talk 2 me 23:19, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * How do you premote a user? I was thinking of giving Tomasto1 rollback rights. Ray Talk 2 meDoggie Mask.gif 21:37, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think he's been added. You go to Special Pages which is in the navigator on the left and then go to user rights management :)
 * Edit - He's been added as a rollbacker, but for some reason he's not showing up under the group :/ - MerrytonRyan 22:44, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

I premoted BlueLionheart to rollback as well.

HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?
HOW DARE YOU?!?!?!? HOW DARE YOU DELETE MY EDIT ABOUT DOTTY THAT WAS MY SECOND EDIT HOW DARE YOU!!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

How to get Miranda the duck and Dora the mouse
I would like to aquire these two animals but I am not sure how please help!

- You can't really obtain just by asking. Villagers move in at random, so you could try having villagers you don't like moving out, but this is nearly impossible as villagers moving out is quite random too :) - MerrytonRyan 15:06, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Do villagers have causes like we do?
Do villagers get sick or get hiccups or get layrgitus?


 * Noo... They're virtual ;) - MerrytonRyan 23:19, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Dotty is moving!!!
My favorite charactar Dotty the rabbit is moving I want her to stop moving I got suggestions online but they don't help at all Please help and awnser ASAP I have been crying for two hours so just please Suggestions anything at all just help!


 * You can't stop villagers moving if they've already got their boxes ready. It's not something to get too worried about, it is just a game afterall! :) - MerrytonRyan 10:40, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think that we should add the info and expand the section for the game. I will make a template thing like the thing for e and e+. Ray Talk 2 me 15:46, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * But did they really appear in e+? It seems weird the whole Wikia has overlooked Kid Kat and many others appearing first in another game, when many say Wild World was their first appearance. - MerrytonRyan 15:48, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Ya. It is weird. I will start adding the fish and bugs for the game. I don't know about the villagers, though. Ray Talk 2 me 15:50, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

The Niece thing...
Well considering Rizzo lives in my town, and out of all the cranky villagers living in my towns he is the only one that EVER mentions his niece to me constantly, I'm very sure I'm getting this information from the character himself. Not ALL cranky characters have a niece. It just so happens that this one likes to talk about her. X-less-Nobody 22:15, March 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Which game is this? In Wild World and City Folk, no villager is unique personality and history wise... The only difference is their appearance really :P Do you have any pictures? Would be interesting :) - MerrytonRyan 22:21, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

No, it's in the gamecube version where he says the niece stuff. I wish he were in my City Folk town...geez. =_=; Uh, I don't know how to take pictures of a game. Otherwise I'd have done that a while ago. I'm sorry. X-less-Nobody 22:24, March 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ahhh, might explain why I've never come across it. I don't have the GameCube version :) Apparently, other villagers mention something about a niece - Static has a mention of one on his page. It might be worth adding all this niece information to the cranky page, with a mention about it only being mentioned in . - MerrytonRyan 22:30, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Yes. And some of that cranky page grammar that just made me shudder. :( At least this was cleared up. X-less-Nobody 22:33, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Quite alot of pages need a good look at :) If you want to add a mention of nieces, you're welcome to :) - MerrytonRyan 22:47, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * EDIT: I'm thinking of the Sports Fair, but the rest of the information is still the same. The Morning Aerobics is the official event which happens in July and August, Aerobics Festival doesn't actually exist :) - MerrytonRyan 18:02, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
