  +
: <small>''Posted Sept 1st, 2022. This article will remain on the front page until all collaborations have been ended.''</small>
  +
: The release of Wizarding World of Harry Potter themed items means the American Girl Wiki feels it right to address the bigoted views by the Harry Potter creator regarding trans and nonbinary people. The partnership between American Girl and Warner Bros/the creator is not something that the AG Wiki can control, but it is something we can openly address. For the head Admin here, addressing the situation is very direct and simple.
   
  +
: The American Girl Wiki believes in equality, diversity, and inclusion of all and support full rights for all people of the LGBTQ+/queer community, including trans people. We are disturbed by the many anti-gay and anti-trans bills that have been proposed and passed in the United States in the past several years in backlash to their visibility. Trans and nonbinary people are real and valid. They are part of the American Girl community, our society, and our world. There is no space here to support anyone—creators included—who actively denigrates and oppresses trans people. Trans people have the right to be allowed to exist in peace as who they are and no social minority—regardless of race, gender, or ability—should be bullied or hurt. Trans rights are human rights.
<div style="font-size:150%; font-variant: small-caps; border:none; margin:0; padding:.1em; color:#d51b75;">'''[[{{SITENAME}}:Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay|Don't Post Leaks Even Once!]]'''
 
  +
</div>
 
  +
: This is not a debatable situation. There's nothing to be debated. Every person, at every age, has the right to live as who they are no matter where or whom they are on the gender spectrum. This includes trans and nonbinary youth as well as adults. There is nothing wrong with children, from any age, to know that trans people and LGBTQ+ and queer people exist. We and they always have, even if society has historically suppressed this information in bigoted ways. Trans people are a real, truthful, honest part of our world. Children have the right to know not only about trans people, but about themselves.
</div>
 
  +
</center>
 
  +
: Furthermore, American Girl has shown support for trans youth in two recently released books: ''[[A Smart Girl's Guide: Body Image]]'' and ''[[A Smart Girl's Guide: Tough Stuff]]'', both of which include discussions of and support for trans youth and are aimed at the same target audience as this collaboration.
|footer='''[[{{SITENAME}}:AG Wiki Rules|Rules]] and [[American Girl Wiki:Policies|Specific Policies]]'''
 
  +
  +
: We encourage all visitors to the American Girl Wiki to find truthful, valid information that supports trans voices and to make themselves aware of the Harry Potter creator's continued bigoted statements against trans people (including her statements on how continued support of the franchise and products related to it is interpreted as quiet support of the author's anti-trans positions), the fandom's and other creators’ responses, and the ongoing conversation surrounding this topic.
  +
  +
: Here are selected online resources on trans people's support and rights:

  +
  +
----
  +
  +
: Regarding the collaboration, the American Girl Wiki will, as our task requires, document any and all items that are released. This means that there is the potential that visitors will wish to purchase these Harry Potter items, and thus that the creator will receive some small degree of profits from these sales. This means that we bear some degree of responsibility.
  +
  +
: No promotional images will be uploaded to the front page on either sliders or news about releases. A corporation article will not be made for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (or its media company Warner Bros.) as is done with other collaborations, so as to minimize displaying items or emphasis beyond necessary documentation. These products are being documented because they ''must'' be, not out of any desire to promote or encourage the collaboration. Every page discussing the items released for the collaboration will be headed with the following template:
  +
  +
: [[File:AGTransStar.png|left|50px]] ''The transphobic views expressed by the creator of Harry Potter do not align with that of the American Girl Wiki. Trans rights are human rights. Please see our stance [[{{SITENAME}}:Trans_Rights_And_Inclusiveness|here]]. Items are only documented for informational purposes.''
  +
  +
: This is also stated policy under [[{{SITENAME}}:Trans_Rights_And_Inclusiveness|Trans Rights And Inclusiveness]].
  +
  +
:: ''ETA, 9/4/22:'' Any editor caught removing any of the templates used to warn other users will be removed from the project under vandalism. As was stated, this is not a topic that is up for debate.

; July 6, 2018 / The Ten Year Anniversary of the AG Wiki!
 
   
  +
; Feb 16, 2024 / AG Middleton Headquarters to Close
: Today marks the tenth year of the American Girl Wiki. So much has happened since the wiki was founded with one person coding character pages and a hope that information about American Girl could be more than what was found on solo sites focused primarily on only the items to buy.
 
   
  +
: The American Girl offices in Middleton, WI are to close, with operations being ended by late spring to September; operations will be moving to the Mattel headquarters in El Segundo, CA. Multiple workers--about 200--will remain employed at the distribution center and remotely.
: We've seen the release of multiple Historical characters--Rebecca, Cecile and Marie Grace, Caroline, Maryellen, Melody, and Nanea. There's been retirements and later returns of some of the Historical Characters, and the termination of the Best Friends Line. There were major changes to Bitty Baby, and the eventual fading of the Bitty Twins. There's been multiple Girls of the Year, including our first ever Black and Hawaiian moderns, and second Latina character--as well as the Contemporary Line. There's been the revamp of the Historical line into BeForever. There's the release of the WelliWishers, one of the second lines to focus on the elementary kids. Create Your Own allows for customized dolls for the first time in the line's history--as well as the first ever official boy dolls. Multiple stores have opened across the nation, as well as stores outside of the US. A*G Rewards launched.

; Feb 7, 2024 / AG x The Disney Princess Collections
  +
[[File:DisneyCollection-Promo.png|thumb|300px|right|A dream is a wish your heart makes...]]
  +
: American Girl has released a second collaboration with [[The Walt Disney Company]] focused on the Disney Princess line, [[AG x Disney]], also known as the ''Disney Princess Collection.'' This release is based on three other iconic Disney Princesses--Tiana, Cinderella, and Ariel. Unlike the last collaboration, this one is not limited edition and has no collaboration with Swarovski. The three princesses also have two additional outfits available for each character based on movie outfits; each comes with accessories, and some come with miniatures of sidekick characters. Dolls are of slightly higher cost at $125.

: Good job, everyone who's ever contributed positively to the Wiki. I'm thankful for my admins, the people who add data on products and characters and books plots (and help during full product launches!) and to everyone who's ever even just fixed a problematic typo. And even if you just come across the Wiki in a search and are just glad to have more information (or how to identify your old childhood outfits), then please keep coming back! Let's keep it going as the years go on.

; Dec 29th, 2023 / Clarification on Copyright Infringement and Video
: There hasn't been a lot of news since February, but now we have new things!
 
   
  +
: The American Girl Wiki has a very clear policy on [[{{SITENAME}}:AG_Wiki_Rules#No Unauthorized or Pirated Media Sources|copyright and copyright infringement]]. Like any fan-run wiki, we ride a fine line between offering information and committing violations. Full text, full song lyrics, too many images from any book, and/or full data on book and movie contents (to name just a few things that constitute a copyright violation) can and will result in a violation of American Girl's copyright. We use images as fair use information, discuss media to inform rather than redirect away from legitimate sources, and ''always'' with encouragement, in the case of media--books, songs, movies, etc--to use first hand sources without using any methods of copyright violation or piracy.
: For [[BeForever]] characters:

: Violations include ''uploading entire episodes of any videos'' of shows, movies, and visual media. Yes, the entire WellieWishers series is on YouTube. And that's where it'd better stay. We aren't in any position to host a full video nor do we want to be. Any data about the series needs to ''point to the place it is legitimately available.''
: For [[Luciana's Collection]]:
 
   
  +
: The reality is that no videos should be uploaded here at all. Images of items and characters are best done with still images, and clips from shows and movies are not wanted nor necessary.
:* [[Luciana's Starry Night Outfit]]
 
:* [[Luciana's Starry Night Accessories]]
 
:* ''[[Luciana Out of This World]]''
 
   
  +
: Any and all violations of copyright start at two weeks for text and a month for video uploads. Any and all videos will be deleted immediately. Any lyrics listing will be purged immediately and, like video uploads, lead to a one month block. Continued actions will result in full banning.
: For [[Truly Me]], we have three new dolls: [[Just Like You 78|#78]] [[Just Like You 79|#79]], and [[Just Like You 80|#80]]. ([[Just Like You 21|#21]], [[Just Like You 31|#31]], and [[Just Like You 51|#51]] are in limited quantities and liable to be retired.)

Tiana, after having her first outfit damaged at Charlotte's costume ball, is outfitted in a blue evening gown and tiara. This was the first dress she was seen in during the teaser trailer for ''The Princess and the Frog''. Tiana also had the most outfit changes for a Disney princess--with nine!
Kit's Gardening outfit is the third outfit in her collection that has centered around overalls. In the 1930s, overalls were not considered proper public wear for girls; they still had to wear dresses or skirts to places like school.

Welcome to the Wiki!

The American Girl Wiki's Stance on Harry Potter and Its Creator
Berry-star   
AG-Trans-Joy-Flag

The AG Wiki Supports Trans Youth.
Trans Rights are Human Rights.

Posted Sept 1st, 2022. This article will remain on the front page until all collaborations have been ended.
The release of Wizarding World of Harry Potter themed items means the American Girl Wiki feels it right to address the bigoted views by the Harry Potter creator regarding trans and nonbinary people. The partnership between American Girl and Warner Bros/the creator is not something that the AG Wiki can control, but it is something we can openly address. For the head Admin here, addressing the situation is very direct and simple.
The American Girl Wiki believes in equality, diversity, and inclusion of all and support full rights for all people of the LGBTQ+/queer community, including trans people. We are disturbed by the many anti-gay and anti-trans bills that have been proposed and passed in the United States in the past several years in backlash to their visibility. Trans and nonbinary people are real and valid. They are part of the American Girl community, our society, and our world. There is no space here to support anyone—creators included—who actively denigrates and oppresses trans people. Trans people have the right to be allowed to exist in peace as who they are and no social minority—regardless of race, gender, or ability—should be bullied or hurt. Trans rights are human rights.
This is not a debatable situation. There's nothing to be debated. Every person, at every age, has the right to live as who they are no matter where or whom they are on the gender spectrum. This includes trans and nonbinary youth as well as adults. There is nothing wrong with children, from any age, to know that trans people and LGBTQ+ and queer people exist. We and they always have, even if society has historically suppressed this information in bigoted ways. Trans people are a real, truthful, honest part of our world. Children have the right to know not only about trans people, but about themselves.
Furthermore, American Girl has shown support for trans youth in two recently released books: A Smart Girl's Guide: Body Image and A Smart Girl's Guide: Tough Stuff, both of which include discussions of and support for trans youth and are aimed at the same target audience as this collaboration.
We encourage all visitors to the American Girl Wiki to find truthful, valid information that supports trans voices and to make themselves aware of the Harry Potter creator's continued bigoted statements against trans people (including her statements on how continued support of the franchise and products related to it is interpreted as quiet support of the author's anti-trans positions), the fandom's and other creators’ responses, and the ongoing conversation surrounding this topic.
Here are selected online resources on trans people's support and rights:
If you wish to personally address the issue with American Girl, we encourage you to send both e-mail contacts and direct mail to the company.  

Regarding the collaboration, the American Girl Wiki will, as our task requires, document any and all items that are released. This means that there is the potential that visitors will wish to purchase these Harry Potter items, and thus that the creator will receive some small degree of profits from these sales. This means that we bear some degree of responsibility.
No promotional images will be uploaded to the front page on either sliders or news about releases. A corporation article will not be made for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (or its media company Warner Bros.) as is done with other collaborations, so as to minimize displaying items or emphasis beyond necessary documentation. These products are being documented because they must be, not out of any desire to promote or encourage the collaboration. Every page discussing the items released for the collaboration will be headed with the following template:
AGTransStar
The transphobic views expressed by the creator of Harry Potter do not align with that of the American Girl Wiki. Trans rights are human rights. Please see our stance here. Items are only documented for informational purposes.
This is also stated policy under Trans Rights And Inclusiveness.
ETA, 9/4/22: Any editor caught removing any of the templates used to warn other users will be removed from the project under vandalism. As was stated, this is not a topic that is up for debate.

Feb 7, 2024 / AG x The Disney Princess Collections
DisneyCollection-Promo

A dream is a wish your heart makes...

American Girl has released a second collaboration with The Walt Disney Company focused on the Disney Princess line, AG x Disney, also known as the Disney Princess Collection. This release is based on three other iconic Disney Princesses--Tiana, Cinderella, and Ariel. Unlike the last collaboration, this one is not limited edition and has no collaboration with Swarovski. The three princesses also have two additional outfits available for each character based on movie outfits; each comes with accessories, and some come with miniatures of sidekick characters. Dolls are of slightly higher cost at $125.
A news article by MSN has hinted there will be more items in the collaboration with American Girl citing it as a new core collection focused on Disney, and that there will be items for other Disney Princesses and the Frozen franchise.

Dec 29th, 2023 / Clarification on Copyright Infringement and Video
The American Girl Wiki has a very clear policy on copyright and copyright infringement. Like any fan-run wiki, we ride a fine line between offering information and committing violations. Full text, full song lyrics, too many images from any book, and/or full data on book and movie contents (to name just a few things that constitute a copyright violation) can and will result in a violation of American Girl's copyright. We use images as fair use information, discuss media to inform rather than redirect away from legitimate sources, and always with encouragement, in the case of media--books, songs, movies, etc--to use first hand sources without using any methods of copyright violation or piracy.
This has needed a further clarification, due to a recent violation.
Violations include uploading entire episodes of any videos of shows, movies, and visual media. Yes, the entire WellieWishers series is on YouTube. And that's where it'd better stay. We aren't in any position to host a full video nor do we want to be. Any data about the series needs to point to the place it is legitimately available.
The reality is that no videos should be uploaded here at all. Images of items and characters are best done with still images, and clips from shows and movies are not wanted nor necessary.
Any and all violations of copyright start at two weeks for text and a month for video uploads. Any and all videos will be deleted immediately. Any lyrics listing will be purged immediately and, like video uploads, lead to a one month block. Continued actions will result in full banning.
