Sprites & Championship
Heya Ainz. Sorry I disappeared and never finished the Digimon Story sprites, but I've been sick and busy lately and haven't had that as a top priority. I have, however, picked up Digimon Championship, and would like to renew my goal of finishing the Digimon Story sprites, as well as complete coverage on Championship, with your approval. So far, I have a Clockmon, Togemon, 2 Lynxmon, Sukamon, and a Palmon :) The game has an extensive 'family tree' that beats the hell out of all the previous ones, I wanna get that up asap.

 * Oh, and, what license is the content on this wiki released under? MK 03:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Can't wait to see them! I'm not sure about the licensing though --Ainz


 * Ah, well, it is important. I suggest using the same license most other wikis use: The GFDL. MK 04:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I would suggest contacting Koroku about it as I'm not very familiar with, although aware of, the GFDL. If I remember correctly, when the original Wikimon was set up it wasn't included then either. --Ainz 04:57 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hm, well, this needs to apply to the entire wiki. Please sort out the license the wiki uses before I contribute anything else, as this is a legal copyright issue :P I am currently working on Digimon Championship ... man, that game is slow MK 04:09, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm okay with any license that you guys want. What works the best for you guys? --Koroku 04:26, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd say the GFDL, as it would be compatible with a lot other wikis. --Ainz 04:30, September 15 2008 (UTC)

Horrendous Romanization?
Is it REALLY necessary to keep very poorly romanized names on a Digimon's page, despite it being "official" on the Dictionary? A prime example is Piccolomon. It is obvious he is not named after a cucumber soaked in brine, and sadly those working on Bandai's website aren't experts at the roman alphabet.

Wouldn't it just be better to keep most of the names correctly spelled according to common sense as opposed to Bandai's half-assed, "official" guessing of how the katakana would look with the roman alphabet?

Also, what is the point of removing all hyphens and spaces from Digimon names and making everything lowercase? I have been dealing with non-digital life for two months and would like an explanation.(Example: Aero V-dramon = Aerovdramon) --Devkyu 06:48, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Name Origins?
I've noticed that the name origins are being removed from alot of Digimon pages. What is the reason for this?--Daisuke Motomiya 17:14, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

They're just getting moved to the top of the page under Etymology as part of the updated Statistics format. Also the name origins for weapons and whatnot get put under Additional Information I believe. If someone is removing name origins without moving them first... then I have no clue what they're doing. -Devkyu 18:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Digimon Image Size
What should be the standard image size for the new Statistics table? I've seen both 160 and 180 used most often (not counting certain images that are kept certain sizes due to quality and pixelation issues), so which is the current standard? --Devkyu 06:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * With the new quality images slowly being released, I would say 180px for the purpose of better viewing quality and as (an eventual) standard. --Ainz 6 September 2008, 06:29 (UTC)



Unused Images
There are over 300 files in the unused images section. Aside from the DS Sprites and Reference pictures, will any of them be used for anything? This is mostly concerning Toei pictures of Digimon, cropped card images, a small handful of userpics, and some digimon analyzer screens. If not, I will delete them to free up space and categorize the rest. --devkyu 07:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

The Toei and analzyer screens needed to be kept, I'm going to try to see if I can incorporate the Toei images into the Digimon Articles, maybe they could be renamed? --Ainz 08:49, 13 Se4ptember 2008 (UTC)
