"Species" Groups[edit]
Members to such groups if there is a citable source for the information. I don't think it's safe to assume who are members (or even that such species are part of the existing lore), given MarineAngemon, and particularly in cases where the species name is not actually part of the member's name (Angewomon, etc.). I wanted to tell you last night, but the site stopped working for me. --TMS (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2026 (EDT)
- Happy to talk this over, totally understand the site issues as I just typed a full response and that just got wiped by an involuntary page refresh lol.
- So this all started when I noticed Big Mamemon and most other Mamemon pages featured the Mamemon-species as a Group. Bancho Mamemon for example was a Mamemon-species first and then a BAN-TYO. So to make it all consistent, I went through all the existing species pages and made them work as groups too, like adding the Greymon-species to the Shine Greymon page. I used the Digimon already on the page to add them to the Group, i.e. Mametyramon is on the Mamemon-species page but not in the Mamemon-species Group on its own Digimon page.
- This is when I realized there were more inconsistencies. The Garurumon-species for example isn’t a term I could find anywhere. The "Chessmon-species" isn’t a term either, Queen Chessmon refers to the "Chessmon series" and King Chessmon to the "Chessmon empire". Only after this did I find the actual source for the Omegamon-species, which again isn’t an actual term, but the Digimon Monster Art Book Ver. Pendulum refers to the "various forms of Omegamon" across two pages as a grouping (and includes Omega Shoutmon and Omekamon as related). The Agumon-species page is the same, as I created it after finding the Digital Monster Art Book Ver. 1~5 & 20th page for "the Agumon" (as in plural, with all the Digimon with Agumon in name that existed up to that point).
- As for who counts and doesn’t count, I just used the same principles the species pages uses now (i.e. Agumon: Burst Mode is an Agumon-species for the same reason Shine Greymon: Burst Mode is a Greymon-species). Happy to talk over individuals in each to decide who does and doesn’t count.
- Anyways, was the Mamemon-species as a Group intentional? Would it work better if we removed all the species as Groups from Digimon pages? --NightwingFan (talk) 19:24, 23 May 2026 (CDT)
- Looks like a number of the species pages (including Mamemon-species) were created a little over a decade ago by a particular user who hasn't done anything since 2014. There don't seem to be sources cited for many of them. I would prefer to have pages only for officially acknowledged groups and "species," but I could make a post in the Community Portal soon to see what people think about the issue, if you'd like. --TMS (talk) 20:54, 23 May 2026 (EDT)
- That sounds good to me! I’ll share my own thoughts there in that case. There’s certainly the actual Reference Book groups like Greymon-species and Gazimon-species, and then the ones from other official sources like the Agumon and Omegamon ones, so might be worth going over which ones can be sourced. I’d be happy to help however I can. --NightwingFan (talk) 21:41, 23 May 2026 (CDT)
