== Fish Ponds <nowiki> {{name}} </nowiki> template changes ==
 
Hello!
 
I have tried to edit the Fish Ponds page to include the <nowiki> {{name}} </nowiki> template, however you have reverted this change multiple times because it has to be introduced in all languages at once. This is pretty simple to do if there is a database/page with all the items' translations or a translation module in itself. Could you direct me to one if such exists?
 
 
Alternatively, tell me if you think this change better not be made. Thanks
 
 
[[User:Artoftheblue|Artoftheblue]] ([[User talk:Artoftheblue|talk]]) 17:25, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 
:Hello again, Artoftheblue! I wish there were a translation db or module, but there is none. Everything has to be done manually. I think the best solution for now is what you did -- create a page in your user space that's formatted the way you prefer. Happy New Year! [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 18:52, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 
:: Hmmmm... I might have a way to do this without a translation module actually as all the pages in other languages have the corresponding names in the same places of the table. Also, is there any other way to contact you/the wiki editors community, like through Discord or are user talks like this the go-to thing? [[User:Artoftheblue|Artoftheblue]] ([[User talk:Artoftheblue|talk]]) 11:17, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 
:: Yeah okay so the main issue is that most languages don't have a page that is updated to version 1.5. I was able to successfully introduce the change in English, German, Russian and Korean, because those pages are updated already. The Chinese page is weird -- although it's updated the latest version, there are some grammar peculiarities that I can't yet understand. Regarding other languages I could either update them now in their current state to follow the format in their current version or someone could notify me when the information about newer features would be added to them and I'll update them then [[User:Artoftheblue|Artoftheblue]] ([[User talk:Artoftheblue|talk]]) 13:03, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 
:::Talk pages are definitely the thing to do to communicate about the wiki.
 
:::When I said "the best solution is ..." I was trying to delicately say it would be better if the change were not made. The name template prevents proper sorting in languages other than English, and I think it makes certain sections of the table less readable. So, I would prefer all languages to remain plain text. The page you created in your user space is just fine, please feel free to continue to edit/change it as you wish.
 
:::I'm sorry I wasn't more clear before, but I want to thank you for your efforts and understanding! [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 18:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 
::::Ah well okay then -- and gladly my work wasn't manual so it's not an issue [[User:Artoftheblue|Artoftheblue]] ([[User talk:Artoftheblue|talk]]) 00:38, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 
:::::I just had a look at the Chinese page and there are indeed many grammar related questions (the translation is incomplete). But I still would like to know what "some grammar peculiarities" are?  [[User:Sizau|Sizau]] ([[User talk:Sizau|talk]]) 22:24, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 
::::::If I'm wrong, then Artoftheblue can correct me, but I believe they meant that when using google translate to read Chinese text, the result is a kind of word salad. All the words are there, but in different places than in English. Sometimes there are extra words that don't make sense. It basically means we don't speak or understand the Chinese language, and have to rely on online translators, which don't do a spectacular job of translating.

:::::::Hi, just a quick notification that I opened up [[Talk:Fish Pond#Add icons within the tables|a thread]] on the Fish Pond discussion page about that. -- [[User:Charly|Charly]] ([[User talk:Charly|talk]]) 07:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 
 
==Template for release note section intro?==
 
Hi! Each [[Mobile Version History|release notes]] section has an intro in the form "''Stardew Valley {version} for {platform} was released on {date}''". That's duplicated for every version, which makes translation more tedious (and many wikis have patchy translations for it). What do you think of adding a template like <code><nowiki>{{release notes intro |Android |2023-01-10 |optional announcement link}}</nowiki></code> which would produce the translated text, so we could just copy the intro to each wiki as-is? —<small>[[User:Pathoschild|Pathoschild]] ([[User talk:Pathoschild|talk]]) 16:48, 10 January 2023 (UTC)</small>
 
:Well, I thought about this while I did my daily review of new changes to all the wikis today. My brutally honest thoughts, after some consideration:
 
:*It would be ''a lot'' of work for you, and it's not strictly necessary
 
:*The headings have been unified by a ZH editor in Chinese already, and that's the only language (other than English) that has had any activity by a native speaker in years (literally years)
 
:*You would have to choose which translation is the best one, and I'm not aware that you speak all 12 languages (well, the 8 or so that have the page anyway)
 
:*If a translator takes an interest in the page, there's a higher than 50% chance they won't understand what a template is, and will delete it, replacing it with plain text/links. Which means that I'll have to either put the template back, or adjust the template's translation to match what the native speaker typed. (More work for me)
 
:*A text editor with find/replace can do the same job, and that would probably be what a translator would be more comfortable with (based on my experience).
 
:*It would make sense to have the template used on all 3 version history pages (PC, Console, and Mobile), in all languages, so that's even more work (x36), and the PC version history page is kind of a mess in other languages from the hotfix template we created in English. (German still hasn't implemented it, but the page is translated, and I don't speak German, so... there it sits)
 
:So, while I see where this idea came from, I just really don't want another template to translate and maintain. I know it seems like it would be less work in the end, but my experience says that it will actually be more work, and not a whole lot of payoff.

== Reformatting recipe tables to include translated headers? ==
 
 
Hello! I was taking a quick peek at the French version of the wiki and noticed a couple tables that had untranslated table headers for recipe tables, but they're just in wikitables sitting on the page, and I couldn't figure out how to get them to work nicely with the Recipes template :( A quick search for "Recipe Source" (on the fr wiki) should point toward the pages/tables in question, I'm just a bit stumped on how to contribute changes to those pages. e.g. on the (english) [[Oak Resin#Recipes]]
 
<pre>
 
{{Recipes|header|hide=buff,duration,restores}}
 
{{:Deluxe Speed-Gro|RecipeRow/NoBuffsHealthEnergy}}
 
|-
 
|[[File:Keg.png|center]]
 
|[[Keg]]
 
|{{Description|Keg}}
 
|{{name|Wood|30}}{{name|Copper Bar|1}}{{name|Iron Bar|1}}{{name|Oak Resin|1}}
 
|class="no-wrap"|[[File:Farming Skill Icon.png|24px|link=]] [[Farming]] Level 8
 
|N/A
 
{{Recipes|footer}}
 
</pre>
 
If I'm understanding this correctly, the Deluxe Speed-Gro's infobox information is getting transcluded into the recipe template/oak resin page?, but the Keg row was just information formatted as a wiki table row within the recipe template, so is fixing those French pages just a matter of doing the latter? If this question doesn't make any sense I can try to explain it, I'm just trying to avoid making any sweeping changes when I don't know what the existing precedent is for this kind of work --[[User:Hexadecimal|Hexadecimal]] ([[User talk:Hexadecimal|talk]]) 06:40, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 
:I think you understand it correctly -- Deluxe Speed-Gro is being transcluded, and the rest is just wikitext added to the table.
 
:I found only 6 pages that contain "Recipe Source", so it shouldn't be a huge project to translate the headers using simple wikitext. I had to find the pages with admin tools (the normal search gave too many false results), so I'll give you a list, for convenience:
 
:*[[:fr:Aile de chauve-souris|Aile de chauve-souris]]
 
:*[[:fr:Fabrication|Fabrication]]
 
:*[[:fr:Fragments d'os|Fragments d'os]]
 
:*[[:fr:Marbre|Marbre]]
 
:*[[:fr:Minerai d'iridium|Minerai d'iridium]]
 
:*[[:fr:Sirop d'érable|Sirop d'érable]]
 
:Again, please translate the headers using simple wikitext! Thank you, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 19:04, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== User talk to Margotbean(from Killa) ==
 
 
Hello Margotbean! Thank you for acknowledging my edit. I'll explain the bug I encountered.
 
 
When I first entered the Forge from ninth floor, I acquired the prismatic shard from the rare chest there. Then I went to sleep and saved the game. However, after I reopened the game the next day and entered the forge from the quick entrance (the entrance that can get you from the start of the volcanic dungeon to the Forge), the rare chest is still there, remaining unopened. I figured out that if I saved the file and reload the game, then the chest will still remain unopened, giving me the opportunity to farm prismatic shards (and also for those who need one lol).
 
 
Then I finished the volcanic dungeon from 1st floor to 9th floor again, and when I entered the Forge from 9th floor the chest is no longer there. It seems to me now that if players opened the chest and finish the volcano dungeon again, with no reloading save files in the interval, then the chest will disappear.
 
I wonder if this solves your question.
 
With regards,
 
[[User:Killa|Killa]] ([[User talk:Killa|talk]]) 22:44, 14 January 2023
 
:Wow, Killa, yes, thanks for the explanation. I meant to test this over a week ago, and I've been so busy, it slipped through the cracks! I still haven't tested it for myself, but I've adjusted the explanation to include what you added here. Thank you so very much!!

== Artifact spot Golden Coconut edit ==
 
 
Hey there!
 
 
I edited the Artifact spot page and changed the amount of golden coconuts you can receive from an artifact spot from 1 to 1-3 as I myself had gotten 3 from one spot and noticed the discrepancy on the wiki. I'm happy to find and reference the code, however I'm not sure exactly how to get there and I've got no idea where to start if I was to google it. Just wondering if you were aware on how I'd be able to find the necessary code and reference the change? Thanks :)
 
 
[[User:Sillybugger3000|Sillybugger3000]] ([[User talk:Sillybugger3000|talk]]) 08:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 
:Hello! The answer to your question depends on your level of experience with computer code, I think. First, try [[Modding:Modder Guide/Get Started#How do I decompile the game code?|decompiling the game code]], and look at the methods referenced in the "References" section on the [[Artifact Spot]] page. #7 is the most appropriate place to start. If you can find <samp>digUpArtifactSpot</samp>, you'll see that an artifact spot should only produce one of item #791 (the Golden Coconut). (If you [[Modding:Editing XNB files#Unpack game files|unpack the game files]], you'll find the item ID for golden coconut in <samp>Data\ObjectInformation.xnb</samp>.)
 
:If all of that works out, then you can start to try to find the source of the extra coconuts.
 
:If all of that doesn't work out so well, then I have to put researching it on my "to do" list.
 
:If you were using a hoe with the [[Forge#Tool enchantments|Archaeologist enchantment]], that would explain one extra coconut, but not a third.
 
:Please let me know how this goes. We want the wiki to be accurate! Thanks so much, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 19:55, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== Luck Page ==
 
 
Hello, I would ask you to reconsider your position on my addition of the "rocks calculation" to the Luck page.
 
 
Your reasoning is "The page doesn't need to make sense in general"
 
 
I do believe the purpose of this wiki is to inform the readers, and 99% of the Stardew community has no idea how Luck works, and is not helped by the page.
 
 
The most important and relevant instance of Luck is in the Mines. You can verify with a Google search or a Reddit search. When people see a good luck day on TV, they head to the mines. It's what most people know Luck for.
 
 
I believe you are doing the community a disservice by not having the formula for rocks and how luck affects it on the Luck page.
 
 
Even if that whole page was deleted, and only the one line of calculation was there, I believe it would be more helpful to a reader, that's how important I think it is.
 
 
Whether you want to reword it, or make a new page which the Luck page references, the luck formula for rocks should be known to the people. Amen.
 
 
== 1 question ==

== Stardops being "steam-specific" ==
 
 
Hi, I'm new, just created an account to edit the [[Stardrop]] article, which incorrectly says that "Mystery Of The Stardrops" is "steam-specific" and it was reverted right away. I can't add external links here, but if you google "Mystery Of The Stardrops xbox achievement" or "Mystery Of The Stardrops playstation trophy" you can see that it exists on both platforms. -- unsigned comment by [[User:Cody|Cody]] ([[User talk:Cody|talk]]) 13:23, 14 February 2023

== I found hidden shop at stardew valley fair! ==
 
 
I think it's not yet on the wiki. :O
 
It sells star tokens for 50g per piece, the location is behind the tree beside alex's house.

There's also someone hidden u can talk to behind harvey clinic, but they are just saying "Please stand at the red arrow."
 
Which is just the strength hammering game. So i think that's not really important.

Oh, wait i guess it has the same function as one of the stand available, never mind, then. [[User:Ry|Ry]] ([[User talk:Ry|talk]]) 16:56, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 
:The person behind Harvey's Clinic bug was removed in v1.5, but accessing the stand that sells star tokens is still a bug in v1.5. I'll report it on the forums so it can be fixed! Thank you, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 17:13, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

== Caroline trivia ==
 
 
Hi Margotbean. I’m Howdoyoufindacheesetaco and I was the one who added the trivia about Caroline’s “Secret Walks”. I am aware it is in quotes, the reason I added it was because people normally don’t look at quotes and adding it in trivia would make people more aware of this.
 
 
Thanks.
 
 
Howdoyoufindacheesetaco, March 4, 2023 21:27
 
:It's a reasonable thing to think, it's just that I disagree that the information needs to be on the page twice. I do, however, appreciate your efforts to make the wiki better. Happy farming to you! [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 22:17, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== Something I Saw On Catalogs' Pages ==
 
Hello, as I look at Furniture Catalogue and Catalogue pages;
 
* In the second line in [[Furniture Catalogue]], "right clicking" phrase is used with <samp>template:key</samp>.
 
* In the second line in [[Catalogue]], "right clicking" phrase is used with a "right clicking mouse" image.
 
 
I just saw this difference and wanted to tell this, if this was a mistake or on purpose. Thank you! [[User:Peaw|Peaw]] ([[User talk:Peaw|talk]]) 14:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 
:Hello Peaw! It's a mistake. You can use the right-click image instead of [[Template:Key]] in Turkish, and if you want to change the English wiki, that would be a bonus. :) [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 15:56, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

::Thanks much! I use it regularly also, and it went out about 24 hours ago. I've seen blips of a few hours before, but never this long.

:::::Wahoo!! I'm really relieved. ''Someday'' when more pressing projects are finished, I'd like to overhaul the villagers' schedules, and that website will be a valuable resource in doing so. [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 20:07, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 
::::::I'm probably not typical in what I notice in the wiki, but I'll be glad when the schedules project reaches the active stage. It's the single element of the wiki where I consistently find unreliable information, to my continuing disappointment. Earlier on, I tried observing and and carefully documenting what I found, only to have others who claimed to "read the code" replace it less helpful and sometimes incorrect stuff, and it just wasn't my game to track down introduced errors. I have also found that the segments of game code that others have put up for examination only includes timings for when characters *begin* to move from one location to another, never when they *arrive*. Especially in longer walks, those can both be important reference points. So whatever you're planning, I hope it will be more comprehensive than what a decoding can produce.
 
::::::I also dislike the "deviations" technique of presentation. It just makes you have to look two places instead of one. A "deviation" isn't really that, it's just an overriding priority, so one prioritized list ought to work better.
 
::::::Finally, I dislike the headings "before the community center is done" and the "after". Either a player is before or after that milestone. If a character consistently changes behavior after, that complete schedule should be split down the middle "before" and "after", even if some pieces match either way. Seasons are already split this way, and this is the other big piece of schedule (even bigger) that will help reduce complexity inside the detail portions. Otherwise, the lookup process is just a hassle or resolve clearly.
 
::::::Didn't mean to go into such a treatise. I guess I'm more frustrated by schedules than I thought. I hope the thoughts may help with a new plan. I just don't have the energy for that level of cleanup any more. [[User:Giles|Giles]] ([[User talk:Giles|talk]]) 23:19, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 
:::::::I definitely appreciate the feedback! I am frustrated by the state of villager schedules, and have been for about 6 years now. I agree, the "deviations" section is not the best way to present info; I'd like to get rid of it and integrate deviations into the main schedules.
 
:::::::Sometime in 2020 or so, I stalked Sebastian for several weeks (real time), because his schedule file is the most confusing. I found that his actual behavior deviated from the schedule file, because it took him longer to walk from his bedroom to the kitchen than expected. The schedule file assumed it took maybe 20 in-game minutes, when it took 30-40 (or something similar). Therefore, he reached the kitchen later, stayed for one 10-minute tick of the clock, then returned to his bedroom. I learned then that the schedule file is not the ultimate guide it ought to be.
 
:::::::Someday I will have all other more pressing projects done, and I'll be able to fix schedules. Someday... someday... someday... *sigh*
 
:::::::Again, I will take your comments into account. Thanks so much!! [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 02:00, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== Wiki Alternatives==
 
 
[[User:Margotbean|margotbean]]  It seems you're trying to maintain "total editorial control" over the content here, as though this were official documentation (rather than community). Have you considered software specifically designed for that scenario, rather than wiki software? Where I work there is a ton of official documentation where we need to guarantee quality for the reader. Publication can be controlled Git, combined with DocFX (there are similar technologies as well). Given how you run things, I suspect this would make your life much, much, much easier and is a better fit for what you're trying to accomplish. The flow requires contributors to do a "pull request", whereupon it can be discussed/approved/rejected. You would no longer be on the hook to "react" to changes made in the visible articles, since the pull request requires your approval before any change is made. This is vital to maintain one's sanity. Seriously, I can't believe you actually watch the page all day and react to everything. Impressive and dedicated, yes, but if I'm being honest, it's quite stifling. I feel like I'm trying to contribute to "your" documentation project.
 
 
You could probably continue with the wiki approach if you really want to, but at the very least I would advise canonizing a lot of your opinions into the Help:Editing section, so that people know what to expect. For example, wikis typically need to repeat information in multiple pages for ease of reading, but you would prefer to have each fact presented only in a single article (presumably for maintainability/translation reasons), and this may be another sign this wiki may have graduated a public editing stage, and is instead more of an official docs site. I was also confused as to why we're not allowed to guide the player in any way. Seems inconsistent, as tons of pages on this site offer various "advice" and "tips" that help new players understand the thinking of a more seasoned player. Whatever the scope of the documentation (be it "fact dump" or "Helpful tips"), the intended scope should be explained somewhere. Canonizing those expectations fosters discussion on the guidelines. I'm sure some people want the "facts", other folks want help playing the game, or there may be other viewpoints that we don't know.
 
 
In any case, I'd never have expected to see such pushback on me cleaning up 5-year old articles that seem abandoned and uncared for. At least on the articles I'm editing, so far I am seeing very little community involvement, it just seems like you locking it down "because no one had a problem with it before". You're likely to push away your average wiki contributor this way, but I suspect that's intentional given the scope of expectations you want to maintain regarding the 12 languages. I appreciate the scope of this undertaking, but it is not really a wiki at this point, so I can't really fulfill any of my visions and there doesn't seem to be much community on the older pages either, so I'll probably try bringing the Fandom Stardew Wiki up to speed instead. Good luck!
 
 
:I'm not margotbean, but your concern is entirely irrelevant. First, you can change your own according to your user page or build your own wiki to your vision and let the public decide which one is better, it's a philosophical talk which have relative right or wrong. Second, its common practice where editor have ruling right on the accepted writing guidelines. Either in newspaper, magazine, scientific journals or a wiki. I'm sure you're a troll since you dont even have user stamp. [[User:Xyrsis|Xyrsis]] ([[User talk:Xyrsis|talk]]) 13:49, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

It said when u upgrade the farmhouse but I was pretty sure I saw on it my unmodded switch (unlike my VERY molded pc lol) and I HAD to boot up a new save to see lol.

Since of our wiki saying that [[Copper Pan|Panning]] is not possible at [[The Beach]] except when the [[Night Market]] map is loaded really bugs me because when we play we keep seeing [[Copper Pan|Shimmering Lights]] at [[The Beach]] when the [[Night Market]] is not happening. Is this in the game code or not? Feel free to head over to the game code for research about [[Copper Pan|Shimmering Light]] locations. [[User:9000|9000]] ([[User talk:9000|talk]]) 8:51, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 
:The game code checks for "not beach" before spawning shimmering lights. Perhaps you're using mods that change the game behavior. Otherwise, I can't explain it. [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 20:06, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== [[Shane]] attending [[Night Market]] bug ==
 
 
Apparently in our wiki it says that there was a bug with [[Shane]] where he would attend the [[Night Market]], which was patched, did this mean that [[Shane]] attended the [[Night Market]] every day it was around? Because he only attends it on [[Winter]] 15. Feel free to look through the [[Version History]] page to try to find this. It may be v1.4 or v1.5 that it was patched. [[User:9000|9000]] ([[User talk:9000|talk]]) 9:08, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 
:In the "History" section on both Shane's page and the Night Market page, it clearly states that there was a bug preventing him from attending the Night Market that was fixed in v1.4. [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 17:16, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== Gift Log incorrection ==
 
 
Apparently in our wiki everything says Gifts as "Neutral" which makes sense, but apparently in the Gift Log, which you can access through selecting the heart button, then a [[Villager]], If you've given any Neutral gifts, the wording in the gift log is "Normal Gifts" instead of "Neutral Gifts". This is incorrect in the wiki because everything says "Neutral" instead of "Normal". This is something that you should check in the game code for research about.

== Im new, and confused.  ==
 
Hi! its me, [[User:Mortician Technician]]. Im new here, and I noticed that the [[Chicken]] page didn't include the Friendship aspect of having them. I made an account specifically for this, actually. And on account of me being new, I wasnt sure how to properly format the edit, and I apologize for this. However, how should I edit what I wrote, If edit it all. Or should I just leave it? Like I said, I apologie for being annoying, Im young and new to this, and just wanted to help. Thank you for helping me sort out my edit!
 
[[User:Mortician Technician|Mortician Technician]] ([[User talk:Mortician Technician|talk]]) 18:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 
:Well, welcome to the wiki! The problem with the edit was chiefly that it needs to be applied to all affected animals' pages, not just the chicken. So, if you're willing to add a section about animal care & friendship to all farm animals' pages, then we can discuss the specifics. Are you up for editing several pages?

:::Well, I could have written a note on your talk page to explain things a little more, so don't worry. To be honest, my mind is a bit blown that there isn't already an "Animal Care" section on the farm animals' pages. They may have been a bit neglected in this regard.
 
:::The good news is that once you have the section written, most of it can be copy/pasted to the other animals' pages with only a few changes. It might be a good idea to put it on your [[User:Mortician Technician|user page]] first, then tweak it until it's right. After that, copy/pasting will be easy. And don't neglect your studies to do it! :) [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 14:49, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 
::::Thank You!! Im definitely up to start working on creating new "care" sections for the animals, I will have to do some research though, due to the fact that I only have chickens right now.

Long time no edit! It’s [[User:Stardude|Stardude]] the dude who had a mini edit battle with you over the terraria stardrop crossover. Anyway I’m trying to get 100m for the perfection cutscene and am currently at 52m total, I’ve been using Crystalariums animals jelly fairy rose honey wine and statue dupe glitches, I’m wondering if you have any advice for this.

==Year 2 Egg Festival Dialogues==
 
Hello. I thought about adding year 2 dialogues of Egg Festival to villagers' pages. Do you think I should do that? [[User:Peaw|Peaw]] ([[User talk:Peaw|talk]]) 18:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 
:Yes, absolutely! [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 15:55, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 
:P.S. [[User:Atravita|Atravita]] was kind enough to provide a code reference for the even year dialogues, and confirmation that the Egg Festival is the only festival that has dialogue that changes from year to year. You can read the [[Talk:Egg Festival|Egg Festival talk page]] before starting the project if you like. Thanks again, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 21:16, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
Hi Margotbean, I would like to help with this project! But before I get started, I want you to confirm that the format is appropriate. For example, Abigail's:
 
 
'''[[Egg Festival]]'''
 
 
''Odd-numbered year''
 
{{Quote|Searching for eggs is like going on a treasure hunt.}}
 
''Even-numbered year''
 
{{Quote|Do you think I'm too old to do the egg hunt?}}
 
:{{Choice|Yes}}
 
::''"Hmmph... you sound like my Mom!"''
 
:{{Choice|No}}
 
::''"Yeah, I guess so. If I'm still having fun, why stop?"''
 
''If married:''
 
{{Quote|Go away, we're adversaries until the egg hunt is over!}}
 
 
 
Also, I will update these changes to the ZH wiki asap~
 
 
What do you think? Is there anything I need to improve? Please tell me!

== Leo's "likes" ==
 
 
hi Margotbean, regarding my reverted edit today on [[Leo]]'s "likes", here's how i read it:
 
* original: "All Universal Likes (except Beer, Coffee, Life Elixir, Mead, Pale Ale, Pickles, Piña Colada, Wine, and Cooking other than Bread, Fried Egg, Poi, Mango Sticky Rice, & Triple Shot Espresso)"
 
* rephrased: "He likes everything, EXCEPT for cooking which he doesn't like, EXCEPT for espresso which he does like"
 
...and that's incorrect, he doesn't like espresso, he hates it. the only thing in the list of "exceptions to not liking cooking" that he likes is mango sticky rice. i think my original edit was correct? [[User:Cooperka|Cooperka]] ([[User talk:Cooperka|talk]]) 16:12, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 
:Well, all villagers' pages are written the same way; that is, an exception to an exception means we don't know how they feel about the item, just that it's an exception to the rule. So, Leo doesn't necessarily like any of the listed cooked dishes, it's just that they don't follow the rule that "Leo doesn't like cooking". Basically it means "do more research before gifting these items". I know it can be a mind-bender.  [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 17:00, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 
::it makes sense that a '''regular''' exception means "we don't know how they feel, so do more research before gifting", but an exception to an exception should mean something different than that, shouldn't it? i looked through every villager page and i'd like to hear your thoughts on the list below. there are only a few villagers who have double-negated entries, and most of the entries are written "correctly" from my perspective, with only a few exceptions in parentheticals below:
 
 
::* [[Krobus]] - universal likes except Cooking, but still likes Seafoam Pudding (so no modification is needed here; his page is already correct from my perspective)
 
::* [[Sebastian]] - universal likes except Artisan Goods, but still likes Coffee & Green Tea (so i think we should just remove Oil from the exceptions to not liking Artisan Goods because, '''as expected''', he doesn't "like" Oil. Oil is '''not''' an exception to his "not liking Artisan Goods", it actually follows the rule, so there's no need to name it. otherwise, we would need to enumerate the entire set of Artisan Goods -- for example, why isn't Honey listed there too?)
 
::* [[Jas]] - universal likes except Artisan Goods, but still likes Honey & Jelly (so i think we should remove Oil)
 
::* [[Vincent]] - universal likes except Artisan Goods, but still likes Honey & Jelly (so i think we should remove Oil)
 
::* [[Linus]] - universal likes except Gems, but still likes Diamond (so i think we should remove Prismatic Shard)
 
::* [[Pierre]] - universal likes except Gems, but still likes Diamond (so i think we should remove Prismatic Shard)
 
::* [[Leo]] - universal likes except Cooking, but still likes Mango Sticky Rice (so i think we should remove Bread, Fried Egg, Poi, & Triple Shot Espresso)
 
::* [[Willy]] - universal likes except Cooking, but still likes quite a few cooked dishes that are listed explicitly in his table (so i think we should remove the sentence about being neutral to some cooked dishes, because that's redundant information and is already listed in the "neutral" section)
 
::* [[Leah]] - universal likes except Foraged Minerals and Gems, but still likes Earth Crystal and Diamond (so i think we should remove Prismatic Shard). beautifully formatted list, i would love to format all double-negations this way for readability, if you think it's appropriate.
 
 
::so, of the 9 pages that include double-negative items, 12 of the double-negatives are already "correct" from my perspective, and only 10 should be removed; it's a fairly minor cleanup. does this help clarify what i mean? [[User:Cooperka|Cooperka]] ([[User talk:Cooperka|talk]]) 20:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 
 
:::I think they're already written correctly in all 12 languages. What you're proposing might make sense to you, but it wouldn't be correct. Perhaps using [[List of All Gifts]] would be more helpful for you to use during gameplay? [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 23:13, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 
::::Thank you for the link. I can sense that I'm bothering you, so let me cut to a simpler question to resolve this because I'm just looking for an explanation. [[Bread]] is a universal Neutral; Leo is Neutral to Bread; Leo Dislikes most Cooking except for a few things including Bread, and the [[List of All Gifts]] describes this perfectly for Leo; but [[Leo#Like|Leo's "Likes"]] section explains that he does not Like Cooking, and Bread is an exception to his not Liking Cooking. If you can help me understand why Bread belongs here even though he doesn't Like it, that's all I'm trying to understand. '''Nothing about Bread is unusual for Leo''', it's a universal Neutral, yet it's explicitly called out in his Likes. Why? [[User:Cooperka|Cooperka]] ([[User talk:Cooperka|talk]]) 14:10, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 
:::::It's because bread is an exception to "All cooking". Again, if you're thinking that Leo doesn't like bread, you must do more research to see how he feels about it. What the page says is that it's an exception to his not liking "All cooking". That's it, that's the answer. It's an exception to "all cooking".
 
:::::It ends up being that a double negative cancels out, and Leo doesn't like Bread, or, I should say, he's neutral towards it. But I only know that because I've checked universal gifts first, and Leo's other gifting sections. I know the gifting sections are confusing, but I don't know how I can explain it in a different way. Really, my point is that they're all written the same way, in 12 languages, and they're all equally confusing/clear. [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 14:47, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 
::::::You're saying that Bread is an exception to Leo "not Liking All cooking", but that's clearly false, because he doesn't Like Bread. I give up lol. [[User:Cooperka|Cooperka]] ([[User talk:Cooperka|talk]]) 15:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== Amount of [[Truffle]]s [[Pig]]s create within [[Luck|Daily Luck]] ==
 
 
Since we are trying to get a [[Gold Clock]] to get [[Perfection]], we always feel upset about how many [[Truffle]]s [[Pig]]s create in a day. We always think that the amount of [[Truffle]]s [[Pig]]s create in a day depends on [[Luck|Daily Luck]]. Every day that says "Very happy today", "Good humour today", or the +0.02 [[Luck]] from "Neutral" days, we usually get about 4-8 [[Truffle]]s. Every day that says "Very displeased today", "Somewhat annoyed / mildly perturbed today", or the -0.02 [[Luck]] from "Neutral" days, we usually get about 1-3 [[Truffle]]s. Is it random on the amount of [[Truffle]]s [[Pig]]s create in a day or is it like on-screen frames while we're on our [[The Farm|Farm]]? We need you to check out the game code for [[Truffle]] spawn rates. [[User:9000|9000]] ([[User talk:9000|talk]]) 8:39, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

==Something I Encountered on [[Slimes]]==
 
Hello! I was reading the [[Slimes]] page and in [[Slimes#Special Slimes|this part]], it says "Special Dark Green Slime", but the slime is yellow and even its file says "Yellow Slime". Was this on purpose or a mistake? [[User:Peaw|Peaw]] ([[User talk:Peaw|talk]]) 18:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 
:In the game code, there's no "yellow slime", they're all variations of green slimes. So, the title of the image (uploaded in 2016) describes the appearance without delving into the game code. The understanding that yellow slimes are actually green slimes came after the image was uploaded.
 
:I could change the name of the image, but it would be much more trouble than it's worth (12 languages, waiting for the server cache to update the image on the wiki...)

:It means there's a 1% chance for it to drop one item and a 1% chance to drop another of the same item. The two events are independent of each other, so the percentages can't be combined.

Hi, I'm quite new to the wiki and I'm not sure if this is the correct way to contact you, but today I installed SMAPI on my Laptop running NixOS and I thought it would be useful for others who maybe also run NixOS on how to install
 
SMAPI, because it has a few catches. I tried to edit the [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Linux]] page, but after i finished my edits, they were declined and an error popped up:

== Bug for giving [[Friendship|Gifts]] to [[Villagers]] ==
 
 
Since of giving [[Friendship|Gifts]] to [[Villagers]], there was a bug where when you gave somebody a [[Friendship|Gift]], it ended up saying "You've already given [[Villagers|Villager]] a gift today." when you actually haven't, it also took the item that you tried giving the [[Villagers|Villager]] and it also played the sound effect for giving a [[Friendship|Gift]], instead of the dialogue typing sound, if you talked to them again, they would say what they where supposed to say to the [[Friendship|Gift]]. Here is [[Penny]] as an example:
 
 
Love: "Thank you! I really love this!"
 
Like: "Thank you! This looks special."
 
Neutral (Says "Normal" in Gift Log): "Thanks. This looks nice."
 
Dislike: "Uh, it's for me? ...Thanks."
 
Hate: "Ugh...I'm sorry but I absolutely hate this."

Just to let you know, I had another oddity occur today, and may have uncovered the source of all the happenings. I seem to have missed a Steam client update earlier. After installing it, today's new oddity does not recur. I'd lay odds that was also behind the Special Order problem I had yesterday.

== V 1.5.6 Updated Pathing ==
 
 
Hi Margotbean, I ran a perfection playthrough to update the routing images since the ones on here are only for V 1.4, however I'm not someone that knows how to format or code and don't want to break the wiki. I was wondering if there was a way I could get assistance adding the pictures in a new section underneath the 1.4 images? I don't want to replace them since people still run older versions, just wanted to contribute with Leo/Ginger Island/shortcuts added in. (If this is the right place for assistance I can link my Reddit post where I have the photos and description of the run and possible issues there may be with the pathing)

== Quality of [[Fish]] always being Basic Quality ==
 
 
Since our lads were playing tonight, when the lads did [[Fishing]] in the [[The Desert|Calico Desert]], Pirate Cove at [[Ginger Island]], River at Dig Site at [[Ginger Island]], or Fishing Submarine at the [[Night Market]], every [[Fish]] we caught was a Basic Quality [[Fish]], It didn't matter if the catch was "Perfect!" just Basic Quality. Does this mean that Silver, Gold, and Iridium, [[Fish]] like [[Sandfish]], [[Stingray]]s, [[Blobfish]], [[Midnight Squid]]s, and [[Spook Fish]], are impossible to get? Because this Wiki says every Quality of [[Fish]], We are so confused, it didn't matter what type of Fishing Rod was used, just Basic Quality [[Fish]], Head over to the game code for [[Fish]] Quality.

== Dungeon Floors ==
 
 
Hi Margotbean. I made an edit to the descriptions that state the Quarry has to be unlocked for the Dungeon Floors to appear in the regular mines making it to read that the [Quarry Mines] would need to be unlocked for these floors to appear in the regular mines. My edit was reversed, but is actually fact. These dungeon floors will NOT appear in the regular mines if that Quarry Mine has not been unlocked. I know this from playing the game across many save files and experimenting with this. I purposely do not unlock the Quarry Mines and never get those dungeon floors. If I do go into the Quarry Mines and unlock it then those floors do randomly appear in my regular mines. I do unlock the actual Quarry area on every save, just not that mine that is called the Quarry Mine. The Quarry area only needs to be unlocked to gain access to that Mine, but the Mine has to be unlocked to get those dungeon floors added in the regular mines. Thank you.

== Children Stages ==
 
 
Hi Margotbean. Regarding the wiki Children page / Stages, I added to the Stage 2 area that the interaction of tossing the stage 2 child while sleeping (that created a spinning caterpillar effect) was actually removed in version 1.4, this based on information I had found on the SDV reddit and based on my own game play. I remember being able to do this but it hasn't been possible since 1.4, if you want to look into adding a code for it.
 
[Stage 2
 
14 days long. When interacting with the child, the player will toss them into the air, which improves the relationship level. Tossing the child while sleeping for a humorous animation was removed in v1.4]. Thankyou,  [[User:Carpediem|Carpediem]] ([[User talk:Carpediem|talk]]) 21:15, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 
:Yes, I saw that, I've been trying to research it in the game code for about 3 hours. Since I don't have the decompiled v1.3 code, it's been a little tricky. 😏 I have seen the animation in-game however, and I can see that it no longer exists in v1.5. I'm going to add a note to the "History" section of [[Children]] and remove the entry under "Stage 2" altogether. Thanks!

== Updated Modding:Player Guide/Getting Started - Modgroup instructions for Mac users ==
 
 
Hi, Margotbean,
 
 
I tried to edit the table in the "Can I Have Different Mod Groups" section, but received an error that I was adding external links. I didn't add any new links, I was only updating the text instructions. The current instructions are incorrect. Querying established members of the SDV Discord, I learned that the mod group command for Mac users "didn't work."
 
 
I was able to successfully create multiple mod groups on my Mac, so I thought an edit to the Wiki would be helpful.
 
 
I can't add my attempted edits here as I receive the same error for external links. ;)

==Wallet Navbox==
 
Hello Margotbean! I thought of a navbox for [[Wallet]] items. What do you think? I can create one right away if you also approve. Thank you! [[User:Peaw|Peaw]] ([[User talk:Peaw|talk]]) 21:19, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 
''Maybe I should have posted this on Admin Noticeboard? I'm not really sure.''
 
:There are so few discussions about templates, anywhere is fine. Here on my talk page is good. 👍
 
:It's funny, I was just looking at [[:Category:Special items]] a couple of days ago and thinking "Should I make a navbox for these?" The problem is, if we break "special items" up into sub-categories (like "wallet items"), then we have to change the category on the page, and I can't accurately translate "Wallet items" in all 12 languages. If we made a "Special Items" navbox, then the category could stay the same, but clicking on "Category:Special items" accomplishes the same goal.
 
:So, translating the categories is the problem with making a navbox. If you just make a "Wallet items" navbox, then the category has to be "Wallet items" for all those items' pages, and it has to be translated in 12 languages. It would be nice to do in only English & Turkish, but I can't do that. I'm desperately trying to keep all 12 language wikis somewhat the same. It's a losing battle, but I have to keep trying.

Hey, I've been intending to edit [[Template:Infobox]] to make the Artisan prices for [[Wine]], [[Juice]], and [[Aged Roe]] display prices relative to the base [[Fruits|Fruit]] / [[Vegetables|Vegetable]] / [[Roe]] price instead of the somewhat redundant (1.4 × Base [Item] Price) they use currently, simplifying the calculation a bit.

== Adding xp per day in crops section ==
 
 
Hi margotbean,nice to meet you.
 
I've added xp per day to the crops section. I believe this is important if you want to level up your farming or foraging skills to access certain recipee faster (in my case, I need to get to level 6 farming to get quality sprinkler to automate my farm).
 
I've added all explanation on the page and also inputting all xp per day valye. Interestingly, poppy flower became the fastest way to farm xp but only yield 5g/day. Blueberry attractiveness also severely affected since you only gained xp on first product in each harvest.

== Adding new website to resources ==
 
 
Hi there Margot, my name is Jack - I'm a developer and avid community member. Recently a friend and I developed stardew.app (can't link externally, but that's the website), which is an A-Z 100% perfection checklist tool. It allows users to upload their save files, manually update values, and login with Discord so their data is saved across platforms. It's not necessarily a competitor at all to Stardew Checkup but a more fully fledged checklist system for things that players might be missing. I initially created it because I couldn't find a comprehensive and easy to use spreadsheet as I played through my perfection run, so I decided to create one. The code is also completely open source on GitHub and deployed from the repository as a method of trust for our community. I've spent a lot of time building this tool with my friend and as someone who greatly benefits from it I'd really love it if it was shared officially as a resource on the wiki. We are listed as a third-party resource in the SDV official Discord, and they sent me here to ask you about getting it added to the home page. If you have any questions, my Discord username is @lafond. Thank you so much!

== Style guidelines ==
 
 
Hello again :) Thanks for fixing up my last edit. I noticed Friendship, Fiber Seeds, and Catfish were changed to be capitalized. In the spirit of reducing the work you or anyone else has to do when I edit the wiki, is there a Manual of Style or similar that details guidelines for capitalization and the like? [[User:IntricateSpiral|IntricateSpiral]] ([[User talk:IntricateSpiral|talk]]) 17:59, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 
:No official style guide as of yet. One thing to remember is that all similar pages should read the same, ''e.g.,'' all random quests from the help wanted board across all pages. So, a change to one means a change to them all. As for capitalization, it tends to be a personal preference and is not currently standardized. My preference would be not to go out of one's way to un-capitalize items that are capitalized in-game (including seasons), even though they aren't proper nouns outside the game.

== Recent Linus Revisions ==
 
 
Hi Margotbean! I agree with your Relationship reversal, removing the blurb contained in his Zero Heart event, based on (Linus cutscene not really an indicator of relationship w/Gus). I would also question other changes such as ''"spends '''most''' of his time in and around his [[tent]]"'' since he spends most of his time outside the Spa in Fall and inside the Spa in Winter, but also travels to the west and southwest sides of the Lake during Spring and Summer. I wouldn't consider these areas exactly being ''around'' his tent and think the line was originally meant to just say he won't be at Ginger Island, requiring the schedules to be checked for other locations. Maybe "in the Mountain area" would be a better description? I also think North of Pelican Town near the Mines was a cleaner more precise way of stating his location (since most players learn early on where the Mines are located). Sometimes trying to elaborate can cause confusing information. Thanks for your diligence and hard work! [[User:Carpediem|Carpediem]] ([[User talk:Carpediem|talk]]) 20:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 
:Well, thank you for the kind words! (Despite my copious typos and ability to slaughter edits with a mouse cursor that has started jumping around due to a hole in my tablecloth recently...)
 
:A lot of the sections on villagers' pages date back to the days when Stardew was first released. Before anyone had unpacked the game files, no one knew anyone's exact schedule, and generalizations were more important. The section could be edited down, in my opinion. But the changes you suggest seem fine, especially given the supporting evidence you've cited. (Please let's not bring up Linus looking into the windows of the spa, though! Let's just not go there.) So, go ahead and seize the day. (Yes, I said that. I'm sorry.) [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 20:30, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 
::Perfect! I was consulting with a fellow player how best to word any changes and hadn't had time to make them yet.

== Common Golden Scythe changes ==
 
 
I'm a long time player of the game, and as a frequent user of the wiki I can't help but notice certain pages tend to get edited more than others. The golden scythe being one of them. I didn't want to just immediately start making edits as a new account though, as I feel that would be overstepping. But I do have some input on it, as I believe (and have noticed) the edit in particular is due to a very common myth about this item. It does NOT actually have a wider range than the regular scythe. This fact is relatively easy to check, and I also recorded myself doing so for a bit and uploaded it to streamable. (unfortunately I can't place external links here, as I just found out trying to to add this topic)
 
All things considered this is relatively unimportant distinction for the game as a whole, but 'what does the golden scythe do?' is a relatively common question both on the subreddit, and the discord. As such the information about it's range has become quite widespread and is difficult to combat due to the wiki's insistence that it's true. Given that you're the most recent edit to this page, and the prior edit had actually removed this information, I assume that you are someone who believes in its extended range. So I'm hoping that by showing you the video it might lean towards the page having the correct information more often than not given that you're one of the primary mods of the wiki as a whole.

== Slimes ==
 
 
Sorry you didn't like my structural changes, Margotbean. I didn't consider the re-leveling to be a major change, or I would have done differently. I also disagree with you that the old structure is fine. I attempted what I considered a light fix to make things clearer, but I find the organization to be confusing. Perhaps it's just that other sections need rewriting also, but it's hard to say. It's not always clear how what is being said applies to the variety of slimes involved. Be that as it may, it's probably best to let things lie until 1.6 is well under weigh. Perhaps any changes there will suggest something.

:Thanks for the understanding, Giles. I appreciate that you've been with the wiki almost as long as I have, and you've gained wisdom about the wiki that I value very much.
 
:I can't properly express my level of stress about the upcoming changes. But, I think that after a major update, page reorganization would be much more appropriate. I'm thinking of the 11 other languages, and the changes needed there to catch up to the English wiki. After a major release, more editors will be active in the other languages, and more people to update the other wikis to match. Anyway, I do value your input and especially your understanding about this set of edits. XO, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 19:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 
::Only just now saw this. Sorry, I'm rather hit-and-miss about editing these days. Thanks for your reply and understanding also. I certainly don't want to be disruptive in such a high-intensity time. And I recognize and value your contributions here greatly. In addition to all the improvements and updates, you also preserve good work done in the past from all the different types of trolls. Good quality is always high maintenance. All the best to you in the 1.6 efforts! Juggling the languages has to be a monumental task! Wish I had a little insight into upcoming changes, but I have my own reasons for not having *any* presence on most social media platforms. X just doesn't work for me.

== Abuse Filter on a talk pages ==
 
 
Hi, I wanted to suggest some changes for [[Module:GiftsByItem]] on its talk page but my edit was blocked by Abuse Filter and marked as "Mass edit by new user". Is it possible to contact to contact you about ideas for templates/modules on Discord/other social media? —[[User:BotAntony|BotAntony]] ([[User talk:BotAntony|talk]]) 05:44, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 
:Hello Antony, all communication about the wiki can be done on the wiki itself. '''Please read [[Help:Editing]], particularly the section about Template changes before you make any more edits'''. Please also note that discussion about [[Module:GiftsByItem]] should be made on [[Template talk:GiftsByItem]], as it says on the module page.
 
:Extension:Cargo cannot be used on multi-language wikis without enabling scary transclusion, and the extension will be removed with the next mediawiki update.
 
:I appreciate your interest in module coding, but what the wiki needs is content editors who will be able to assist with the v1.6 game update. Thanks for your interest, and happy farming! [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 17:14, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 
:: Oh, I'm really sorry, I didn't notice that non-English wikis don't have this extension. Thank you for explaining why my edit was reverted.
 
:: I see templates here must support other languages but this wiki doesn't have its i18n system for templates. We can store l10n data on the separate page in JSON and load it via this module:
 
:: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
 
local p = {}
 
 
local l10nData
 
local lang = mw.string.lower(mw.getContentLanguage().code)
 
 
function p.l10n(frame)
 
    local args = frame:getParent().args --
 
    -- load data assigned to the template
 
    l10nData = mw.loadJsonData('Template:' .. args[1] .. '/l10n.json')
 
    -- use en l10n as a fallback
 
    local result = (l10nData[lang] and l10nData[lang][args[2]]) or (l10nData['en'] and l10nData['en'][args[2]]) or ''
 
 
    -- exclude the first and the second param for the text replacement (reserved for template name and l10n key)
 
    args[1], args[2] = nil, nil
 
   
 
    -- replace text
 
    -- f.e. if the result string is `It costs @price@` and we invoke template `{{l10n|<template>|<key>|@price@={{{price|400 g.}}}}}`
 
    -- it will be the equivalent of `It costs {{{price|400 g.}}}`
 
    for k, v in pairs(args) do
 
        result = result:gsub(k, v)
 
    end
 
 
    return result
 
end
 
 
-- the same as p.l10n(), but it preprocesses the output
 
-- use only in the case if the l10n entry has a template inside (f.e. `"key": "{{Name|@item_name@}}"`)
 
function p.l10n_preprocess(frame)
 
    return frame:preprocess(p.l10n(frame))
 
end
 
 
return p
 
</syntaxhighlight>

== [[Penny]]'s page having something different ==
 
 
For some reason, [[Penny]]'s page has the different quotes for what she can possibly say, like during [[Festivals]], etc. And in [[Penny]]'s page, for the quotes section, it has what [[Days of the Week|Day of the week]] and [[Seasons|Season]] the dialogue will show up, whereas the other [[Villagers|Villager]] pages do not have this, I was originally planning to revert this edit, due to it being text that is non-existent in other Wikipedia pages, but should we revert this? It is text that is not in the other pages, and it is too much mess in the page. [[User:9000|9000]] ([[User talk:9000|talk]]) 8:05, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 
:This discussion belongs on Penny's talk page, not my talk page. But since you put it here, I'll answer it here this time.
 
:Penny's dialogue has more detail than other villagers' quotes sections, but it's not incorrect. If you look in all the dialogue files, they include day of week, season, event, etc. So, other villagers pages should be improved to include the level of detail on Penny's page.
 
:If you have suggestions for improving formatting, please put them on [[Talk:Penny|Penny's talk page]]. Thank you, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 17:11, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 
 
::Update: I've reverted this edit, due to 90% of the [[Villagers|Villager]] pages not having this, I also noticed that [[Sandy]]'s page has this as well, I am reverting this as well due to it not matching to other [[Villagers|Villager]] pages, have I done something wrong when doing this or not?

== Question: what's wrong with redundant information? ==
 
 
I noticed a few of your actions, e.g. the deletion of the quality page or the edit you repeatedly reverted on [[Cauliflower]], cited in their summary that the information was "redundant" or "already covered elsewhere", and I'm trying to understand why that's a problem. In my experience, some redundancy is inevitable with the sharing of useful information, and obviously there are central pages like the Crops page that provide information which you could also get from the individual pages. What's the difference there?
 
 
I'm partly asking because I would like to create a page for item quality, and would prefer not to have to redirect to the Crop Quality section of the Crops page, which is the only other place I see the Item Quality mechanic summarized (and not everything is a crop, so that feels out of place). I'm also wondering what you think of my own addition to [[Cauliflower]] (this being an example of where Quality page might be useful; I admit, however, that I forgot to preview my edit because I assumed quality would exist). Even if my contribution's not redundant except by the absolute strictest definition (as far as I can tell, cauliflower's use in the luau is only otherwise mentioned on [[Luau]])… IDK, I guess I just want to make sure I'm on the same page about what kind of contributions, particularly additions, are wanted, so I don't waste my time.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 20:40, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 
:Well, I'm sure you wouldn't want me to waste my time explaining past edits and reversions over again, so I'm not sure exactly what your question is. You want to create a page that was already rejected, but without wasting time on it. I'm sorry, I don't think I'm able to give you what you're asking. [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 20:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 
::I am asking why the page was rejected, so that I don't contribute something that isn't wanted (this would've been a better way to put it than "waste my time", sorry for the tone. Though if I may say, I don't think explaining oneself is ever a waste of time, as long as the listener is receptive). The deletion log only says "Info is covered on individual pages", which doesn't make much sense to me, unless this was elaborated on somewhere. Regardless of the exact reason, I think "quality" seems like a keyword describing a mechanic, and that keywords should have their own articles, separate from the individual pages affected by the mechanic the keyword describes. It's not like it's a minor mechanic. It affects gifting, sale prices, and there are many ways it can be increased (e.g. fertilizer in the case of crops or annually in the case of fruit trees), that seems worth explaining in one place. However, you seem to disagree (rather strongly, based on this interaction thus far, though my poor choice of words did not help), and I want to know why. --[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 23:01, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 
::You know, it's amazing what a bit of rest can do for one's understanding of a problem. I think I may have been focusing too hard on that specific deleted page. While, yes, I would say I have rather strong feelings that '''Quality''' eould be useful, and I'd like for you to see the potential I see, I think it's more important for me to get a general understanding of what sorts of broader wiki improvements would be acceptable. I normally, when I edit wikis, stick to mostly basic stuff like copyediting the grammar and (if need be) spelling, but sometimes I might want to improve a wiki in broader strokes. Does Wikipedia's "be bold" apply to this site, or to what extent should I beholding off and waiting for some form of greenlight (and what would constitute a greenlight per this wiki's governance)?--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 15:58, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 
:::Most of what you seek can be found by reading [[Help:Editing]]. What that page doesn't say is that there is a major game release (version 1.6) coming soon, with added content and multiple code changes, so any major (and even some more minor) structural or formatting changes to the wiki are on hold until after that chaos is over. Opening a discussion on a talk page about proposed changes is still a-ok, however. I hope this helps. [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 18:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 
 
== [[Pearl]]s spawning in floors 1-29 of The Dangerous Mines ==
 
 
In The Dangerous Mines, in floors 1-29, you can find [[The Beach|Beach]] [[Foraging]] items, such as [[Clam]], [[Coral]], [[Rainbow Shell]]s, [[Seaweed]], etc. And since finding [[Pearl]]s is rare, through [[Artifact Trove]]s, a [[Fish Pond]] filled up with 10 [[Crab]]s, etc. When people were playing, and as well us, we found a [[Pearl]] in The Dangerous Mines, is this in the game code, we can add it to the [[The Mines|Mines Wiki page]] if it says yes.

== Page(s) for Speedrun Information ==
 
 
I am theValiantSun, one of the admins for the Stardew Valley Speedrun community. We were wondering if it would be possible/allowed to add some pages to the Wiki which would contain information about the speedrun community (namely some basic rules and FAQ) which are currently only accessible through the Discord. While creating our own independent wiki could also make sense, we thought that it would be worth asking about since the modding community also lives on this wiki and we believe that speedrunning is a valuable part of the game's community.
 
 
Currently, the Speedrun Community has over 2,000 followers and 790 players on SRC and our Discord has over 2,000 members. Speedrunning the game has recently been featured at large scale charity events including Awesome Games Done Quick 2023. We believe that this community has the opportunity to grow should the information be more readily available to other people.
 
 
We understand that maintenance of pages can be a chore and (as such) have a small team of admins (including potentially familiar names such as Bla_De and Underscore) who have agreed to help with upkeep of these new pages. Related to another post I saw, we also have some admins who are experts on glitches (which is a category of the game) who has volunteered to help upkeep such a page if there is interest for it.
 
 
Thank you for your time!
 
--[[User:TheValiantSun|TheValiantSun]] ([[User talk:TheValiantSun|talk]]) 14:15, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 
 
:Hello ValiantSun! Thank you for your well thought-out and persuasive comment.
 
:You should know, however, that I was strongly opposed to adding the modding section to the wiki in the first place. I was overruled by the Chucklefish Admin at the time, and so the wiki has a modding section. I still think it belongs on its own separate wiki, to be brutally honest. I would be happy to link to it, and to a speedrunning wiki, if one exists, but I don't think it belongs on the wiki itself. I'm terribly sorry, it's not a reflection on the speedrunning community or speedrunning itself. Thank you, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 20:36, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

:Hello Gravy! I haven't had a "help wanted" list since v1.3, so, no, there's nothing I can point you to. After v1.6 releases, it's going to be a free-for-all, so knock yourself out then (so to speak). :D

:You should clean up vandalism if you see it. If a vandal has made several changes to a page, that involves hitting the "undo" link multiple times, starting with the most recent change, and working backwards. It's time-consuming and can be confusing looking through the version history list, but that's the best way to ensure information isn't changed or lost in the process. If I come along later and see something has changed, I may revert the cleanup and then revert the vandalism, because I have access to more powerful links to do so. You should ''not'' take it personally! I appreciate vandalism clean-up!

Most Helpful Contribution (Especially From New Editors)

Hi, I’ve been checking out the recent changes page every so often for a while now in anticipation of the new release and it’s clear that you have a lot on your hands. The “Help Editing” page doesn’t give any pointers towards the kind of changes that would be most helpful to you and the wiki, so (a) I was wondering if you had any in mind (or if there’s a “wanted tasks” list that I missed!)

Two more related questions -

(b) if a user spots vandalism before you get to it, do you prefer that they leave it to you or revert the change?

(c) the “help editing” page says that changes in formatting should be applied across all languages. What exactly does that encompass? I assume new information can be added to only one language, but what about adding a new section to an article?

And finally, one question that is only partially related - (d) do you think it could be worth adding a note to Emily’s page explaining why Clint isn’t one of her friends, as this seems to be a common cause of confusion and incorrect edits? I’m sure this is on her talk page but it may be worth adding to the actual page for those users who only read the wiki. --Gravy (talk) 22:27, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
