Edits on Crops, Spring, and Summer

Hi margotbean, I hope you enjoyed (or still are enjoying) your holidays. I see that you added back the value of data-sort-value="13.33">13.33g/d to summer squash on both the Crops and Summer pages, but I'm still not sure why you undid the other formatting edits I did on those three pages.

I would appreciate if you could review this changes again when you have time, and should they be ok, perform these edits to the Spring and Summer pages (seeing how you locked all season pages to be only editable by admins). Alt (talk) 08:37, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Nothing has changed, I reviewed the edits and the pages are fine margotbean (talk) 23:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I'm not saying the pages weren't fine already, and I really don't mean to be a bother, but I just don't see what's wrong with keeping the formatting of those crop entries consistent across (and within) these three pages. I've edited other wikis before, and inconsistent formatting is something that always irritates me to some extend (I realise this could just be me), so whenever I see inconsistencies in any wiki I read, I always feel an urge to unify the formatting if I can. Also, I re-read Help:Editing again, and I realise I did not discuss any of those changes beforehand, per Help:Editing#Formatting; I sincerely apologise for that.

RE: Journal Scrap #9 solution order

Hello MargotBean, I hope you are well. The upkeep of the wiki has been amazing throughout these past upgrades to v1.6+. A certain issue in the wiki has bothered me for some time. RE: Journal Scrap #9, in the solution section, the 2 solutions were listed in the wrong order. The note hints, "Aye... stones as big as 'ones' and stones as big as 'fives' were they..." therefore the numbers directly UNDER the images should be the 2nd shown sequence of "2 clicks, 11 clicks, 9 clicks, 5 clicks, 7 clicks" because this corresponds to the note's hint (2 small stones = 2), (2 large + 1 small = 11), (1 large + 4 small = 9), (1 large = 5), and finally (1 large + 2 small = 7). Then the 2nd sequence, which is 1 note less on each stone than the hint implies, listed as an alternative solution. I believe this alternative may seem to work better for some players not on PC (mobile possibly) but it is not the solution to the hint in the note and should be relegated to the second row. I made the change today, I just don't know how, or if, I'm supposed to do this in other languages. Best Regards, Carpediem (talk) 20:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC) Edit: I also belatedly just made this adjustment on the Ginger Island / Mermaid section to switch the order of the 2 solutions (I didn't initially realize it was in another location). Both of these were done on the English wiki only. Carpediem (talk) 22:04, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

That sounds fine, and thanks for your note! Interestingly enough, there was a survey among testers when 1.5 was in beta asking if they thought "5" meant "5 clicks" or "get the flute block to the 5th note". I think musically inclined people (like ConcernedApe) might think differently about the puzzle than others. I can't remember the results of the survey, unfortunately... margotbean (talk) 01:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Hmmm, interesting indeed. I guess I don't see the difference. When 2 big stones will equal 10 and 1 small stone is 1, then 11 "clicks", or "Check / Do Action / Use Cursor" on whatever platform, would bring that fluteblock for the 2nd grouping to its 11th note and thus create the correct sound at that point in the riddle. Maybe "clicks" is not the best wording then? Thanks again, be well. Carpediem (talk) 20:56, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm going to give a quick code insight by the way and note that the game only cares about relative pitch; in fact, this means that the first note block can be *any value* and as long as you go the correct amount up and down for each following block it's valid. The only limitation is that you can't loop around the 24, but that still means there are as many as 16 different valid solutions. So while it's peculiar, 0 9 7 3 5 clicks and 15 24 22 18 20 clicks both work. I don't know if you want to include that or not but it does make saying there's just 2 is incorrect. But I suppose the two listed are the two most intended solutions.CandyNim (talk) 06:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Templates for Mobile-View

Hello Margotbean,
I mostly use the wiki on my phone - have you ever thought about creating/ adjusting templates for mobile view?
MediaWiki knows the markups for "mobile only" or "mobile-hidden".
When i worked on a wiki, we created a lot of templates that way. mostly were there only small adjustments eg. description in row below, instead a column on the right - to decrease the width and make tables fitting for smaller screens.
Would be nice to hear from you, about that idea. i am pretty sure, it would please a lot of users!

Eggplant Parmesan

Hey margotbean, I just want to apologise for changing the information on the eggplant parmesan page. I promise I wasn't just trying to mess with it. I was playing a save on my switch and it said that they loved it both in the villagers dialogue and in the gift log, but then I just checked it on my pc and it matched the information that's on the eggplant parmesan page now. So I'm not sure what happened with that but I'm sorry for the nuisance. Farmer Ron (talk) 13:07, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for the note! You can report the bug on the official forums margotbean (talk) 07:33, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Clint broken glasses

I just found out that Clint loves broken glasses and it appears that the wiki dose not show this information It’s not ground breaking or anything I just thought it was interesting. Sweetcheese (talk) 14:40, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but according to the data files, Clint doesn't love broken glasses. margotbean (talk) 07:33, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

File block

Hi, you blocked me from uploading files with no reason given. I've resolved the Furniture situation and I'd like to upload more files to help with the wiki, so please unblock me.

Also, I added a section on Talk:Furniture, so pwease talk a look at that as well. Myirlname (talk) 01:17, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Most of the edits I'm thinking of making involve uploading new files to the wiki, so I can't contribute to the wiki if I'm blocked. Myirlname (talk) 22:52, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Edits on Strawberry

Hi, you've reverted my latest changes on Strawberry growth chart. Given this is just an addition of two columns, I'm surprised to see it reverted. I understood previous changes being reverted when I added all the growth charts as there is a desire to keep the page simple and making that sort of change across all the languages would likely be taxing, but in this case even on mobile I don't see this as a major change adding 2 columns to 5. I don't see this as a major formatting change but let me know if I'm not correct. I can't be the only person that comes to the wiki to figure out if buying Strawberries at the Desert festival is worth it to get another handful of strawberries.

Luau change

Hello,

I received the notification that my edit was canceled because there was no discussion. But I would protest it -- I suggested my idea about 2 month ago on the discussion page, explained the benefit, but I got no response. I would like to know, how should I do under such situation? Also on the Luau discussion page, PrincessFelicity, who wrote in discussion page before me and received no reply too, agreed with my attempt. Now I wonder that "the discussion" actually means your permission.

I of course understand you have so many things to do, there are 12 versions of other languages and synchronizing them needs huge efforts. I also respect you maintaining this wiki. But I hope you know our enthusiasm and attempts to improve this wiki.

I would be happy you understand I never intend to blame you.

Mmtraa7 (talk) 01:34, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello MMtraa! I don't think of a discussion as obtaining permission, but if I haven't commented on the discussion, I probably don't think it's a good idea. margotbean (talk) 16:27, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Margotbean, and I am sorry, I still could not accept your comment. I feel so pity if you are just judging everyone's opinion, instead of considering and discussing with us. I believe my idea surely makes Luau article much better, so I would like to know why you don't think so. I think too many Smoked Smoked and Smoked Fish make the article really difficult to understand or find information. (Even in JA wiki, my native language version, so many くんせい (Smoked) and ワイン (Wine) is terribly annoying and frustrating 😭)

I am eager to KNOW what idea you think as good one, and DISCUSS about it with you. I think such communication is the true way to improve this wiki. If my brief is wrong, please point it out.
