Show/Hide Boxes and Spare Titles
I recently went through and got basically every speck of info on Aero V-dramon that I could, it is now for the most part referenced and I have a few questions, first of all is how to make a show/hide box to add to the top of the page as a todo list, the next is about a few of the evolutions, I hid them so they can currently only be seen in the edit box, but I don't know how to add them, what do we do with things that we can't reference, and finally, say we've added all the info AV-dramon for example does not make an appearance in the anime, so what do we do with that heading? Just leave it? --Lightlowemon 08:33, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

For the unused headings, just leave them. As for what to do with unreferenceable evolutions... not quite sure yet. Since so many evolutions could possibly come from the various WonderSwan games that are a pain to get ahold of, let alone play, I would be a bit wary about just deleting them, though at this point I'm tempted to. -devkyu 01:00, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Digimon Analyzer
I've been going through the episodes of the anime (starting with Adventure and 02) and cataloging the appearances of digimon analyzer screen. Does anyone know of a program to use for getting screenshots? Also, I've noticed inconsistencies between names given in the Analyzer screens and those by the Digimon Dictionary or some of the V-pet pages. Should this be noted somewhere? -devkyu 07:43, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The names from the Analyzer screens need to be acknowledged, the inconsistencies, especially in Digimon Adventure - i.e Vagimon (Vegimon), are due to them being very early translations. I haven't tried any specific screenshot capturing program, but I've used the image capturing feature in PowerDVD. --Ainz 08:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Names
I've noticed a severe tendency for names to be inconsistently recorded across the different pages; for example, Chimeramon in most links /Chimairamon on the page title; I think this weakens the authority of the information. In addition, there are a lot of issues with insufficient redirects (For example, neither SkullBaluchimon nor SkullBalukimon redirect to Skull_Baluchimon). I'm against having so many spaces in the names in the first place, but I see that's been discussed and laid to rest, but at the very least the spaceless versions should redirect to the versions with spaces.

They'll eventually get chnaged to whatever their "actual" names are. The reason why they're still there is because all the pages are currently undergoing a small, but major time-consuming reformatting. In the case of Chimeramon, I'm trying to find out if its been "officially" named "Chimeramon" - I'm not sure if it's spelled that way in any Digimon Koushiki Daizukan volumes. --Ainz 00:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Frankly, Chimairamon would be Kana'd differently. It's between Chimera and Chimaera, both of which are through Latin to english and pronounced in english with a "long e" sound (which means that either way it's still pronounced differently from the Kana). But from what I've seen in various sources, greek 'ai' is usually replicated as such in kana. Chimera is probably the best bet, especially since everyone's already using it for most things.

Wikimon Licensing
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)


 * From what I've browsed about GFDL, it seems like it would work fine. I'm not knowledgeable about any other licenses, though, so I have nothing to compare it to. -devkyu 05:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

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. MK 16:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright guys, you probably noticed I haven't done anything lately...well, that's because I've been almost constantly sick, and when I'm not I need to spend my time doing other things. Digimon has always been a hobby for me but I don't have as much time to invest in it anymore. I'll always keep Wikimon bookmarked, but for now and the near future I don't plan on contributing. I'm sorry... MK 14:33, 20 October 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)

We have plenty of space - don't worry about it :P --Koroku 05:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
