Talk:Main Page
Why does it link to a random page? Clicking the discussion tab on the Main page at the top links to a random page rather that a talk page.

The reason behind that was because that page was continuously getting spammed and is supposed to act as a detterent. Quote from the talk page: "If annon users really want to note something, they can use the Portal or something now. --Koroku 18:21, 3 July 2007 (EDT)" --Ainz 22:35 12 August 2007 (GMT)

A pity..Thanks for the clarification though.

Protected it. --Koroku 02:03, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

Spaces in names
What's up with that? The only time I know of that spaces were in between parts of the name (which is incredibly subjective in the first place - Dinobeemon should not be Dino Beemon), is in the American dub of "The Earthquake of Metalgreymon"/The Earthquake of Metal Greymon". Not only is this conflictory with the rest of the American canon, which in every other case displays it as one word with two capital letters, but it has no precedent in the Japanese canon. --KrytenKoro06 06:58, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

Bearing in mind that we're still recollecting/producing data lost from the old wiki, particularly Digimon pages, this isn't a high priority for now --Ainz 3:30, August 10, 2007 (GMT)

The original formatting began with Megchan's Digimon Encyclopedia, as she is a professional translator and THE authority on digimon. Also, we don't really care what the dub does, they screw up things enough as it is. If you are honestly bothered that much by spaced in the names, the List of Dub Names doesn't have it. --Devkyu 23:38, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

While Meg-chan is a professional translator her web page was not officially cannon. As there are no professional rules on how to translate fictional names based off of real words there really is no right or wrong way. Although in the profiles seen in the anime there are no spaces in the names, however they also have all letters capitalized.--208.100.235.21 16:22, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

wikimon.net
Before I move to the new domain, is there anything I should know from you wiki gurus? Is there anything I'll have to update that I might not think of right away? Let me know before I break Wikimon ^^;; --Koroku 01:26, 15 July 2007 (EDT)

I honestly have no clue about wiki updates and changing domain names. ^_^;; Sorry -Devkyu 18:57, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

More sidebar discussion
I split Help and Create an Article and put them in a new category with Rules and List of Images. Anything else that should be going there? Would it be good to make a section in the sidebar with the main categories, like on the Main Page? --Koroku 18:02, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

Images
When uploading Images to Wikimon, PLEASE followed the Rules. Also, check the List of Images, because there are many copies being uploaded of already-existing images. --Devkyu 17:31, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

Copied your message over to the Main Page. For something like this, feel more than free to use the admin announcements. :) --Koroku 17:52, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

How do I link it to the page???-Dranreb

To link an image to a page: --Ainz 10:28, 14 July 2007

I think that there should be an exception to the rules where it states not to use a dash, which should be only for cards as the way in which the templates function helps to facilitate and make them less time-consuming to produce. --Ainz 10:25, 14 July 2007

Added in a section for Cards that allows dashes. --Devkyu 06:36, 14 July 2007 (EDT)

Question, when create new digimon page if at time of doing if picture of digimon not availble should link left in page? Should there be page that list all digimon without picture in them? --Omagaalpha 20:56, 14 July 2007 (EST)

Just leave the link out if there's no picture available. The official Digimon website adds high quality images regularly to their new Digimon Encyclopedia every week, so it's only a matter of time before all of them are there. There's also need need to make a list. --Devkyu 22:18, 14 July 2007 (EDT)

If read what said corectly say that there should create categories for digimon with no picture --Omagaalpha 8:41, 24 July 2007 (EST)

List of Digimon
Does anyone remember how to make the alphabetical search bar list at the top of the page horizontal again? -Devkyu 13:47, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Information..?
Above you mention Meg-chan's Encyclopedia, is that the source or something? Clarification would be nice.

It is a good source, paticulary for TCG info. However Meg-chan chose to use English dub names for the Evolutionary Stages\Levels, which Wikimon doesn't use.--208.100.235.121 23:04, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
