1. I started adding them because other people seemed to want to see them or other people were adding them and the not adding on to them. The suggestion was made by somebody to have them included, as many other wikias do the same thing. Because there are not many active editors, I encouraged them to help in whatever way they could and that is what they wanted to do. I've added on since to help make things not feel so empty. But as for importance, no, they're not important in comparison to adding other information such as heart events or gift preferences. However, a lot of hard work has gone into what we've got so far.

3. Most heart events are filled with condition triggers and not the entire dialogues, although a brief summary of the event is usually stated. The way that I've done the Animal Parade and Mineral Town pages are what I would like to see as a sort of formula/standard for heart events. The ones that have dialogue are usually from the new games when information about specifics were not available. I work on converting these if I am able, but I haven't always played the games and I really hate to only read about it from another source when I havent played the game myself because it makes it hard to put into your own words to avoid plagerism. You want to have a happy medium. You don't want to JUST have the trigger conditions (as this makes for a completely barren page), but you don't want to have the whole dialogue typed out either.

4. I'm not sure what you mean. I know what you mean, but in what context? Gameplay is usually on game pages, and any important information is stated on crop, tool, animal, character pages already. Dialogue and trivia are just added pieces but should not take priority.

I do respect your opinion, however, keep in mind that these are not easy things to chance wikia wide, especially with so many few editors and very little other opinions weighing in on this. I would recommend making constructive and helpful changes to what is already here, instead of wanting to scrap old ideas, as this can be counter productive and diffuclt to manage. Many other wikias have trivia, quotes, gallery, history, etc sections which may not seem important to some but provide a more complete looking page as a whole.

The main thing is that wikia is a community. We cannot force or delegate on person to work on one thing or another. We all have our own abilities and talents. The important thing is to work on what you think is imporant, and to provide your input like you are now. What other imporant things do you have in mind? Perhaps I can help. I have worked on here for years with Mai to make very important changes such as a style guideline, templates, navigation, research, organization and to do a compete overhaul of what the wikia once was. My nearly 20,000 edits have been things very big and very small, but they have all contributed in some way. It takes a lot of time and changes don't come overnight, especially with the relatively small community that we have. I'm sure that if we had a larger editor base like some of the other popular wikias had, we would be able to accomplish both the big and the little things without having to try and decide which parts are more important.

Your edits have been very helpful and I hope that you can keep on contributing. It can get discouraging, I know, especially when you are just one person but you see so many things wrong or so many things that need changing!
