Affiliation?
Hello, hopefully I am doing this in the correct fashion, I am wondering if you would be interested in affiliating with my website. It is a Digimon forum game, we actually use your Wiki as a resource for all of our Digimon information. You guys are extremely helpful. :D So yeah, I was just wondering if you would like to affiliate with us. Here is the link: http://digitaldestinyclan.proboards.com/

Thank you for your consideration. ~ Durgon
 * Sorry, but we don't typically affiliate with forums. --Koroku 13:35, 11 September 2011 (CDT)


 * Very well then. Perhaps one day if I can scrounge up the cash to buy a domain and server and get it off a forum and onto an actual website, we would be able to affiliate then. It really sucks to have to be stuck on a forum but the users don't seem to mind. Thanks for your time. --Durgon 10:42, 14 September 2011 (CDT)

Can someone good with conversational Japanese
translate the following?KrytenKoro06 19:20, 18 August 2011 (CDT)

こんにちはハブモンです.

先日公開したガブモンですが、 皆様ガブモンって爬虫類型デジモンって知ってたハブか？ あの毛皮は上に羽織っているだけらしいです. 毛皮を脱ぐとつるんとした不思議な生物が・・・ しかもあれはガルルモンの毛皮なんだそうです. （←かなりシュールな設定ハブ～） なので良く見ると、手（足）が毛皮には4本あるハブ～

・・・えっ、常識？　Wikiにも書いてある？

・・・・・・・・・・・・. 失礼いたしましたハブ～

Hello, I’m Hubmon [Habumon].

So you exhibited Gabumon the other day, but did you all know that Gabumon’s a reptile-type digimon, hub? Apparently he merely drapes that pelt over himself like a coat. Remove the pelt, and he’s a slippery and strange life-form…What’s more, it seems that pelt is from a Garurumon. (←quite surreal background info, hub~). That’s why if you look real close, there are 4 legs (arms) in the pelt, hub~

…Huh, that’s common knowledge? It’s even written in the Wiki?

……………………….

I’m so sorry, hub~

Math
If you guys have any use for it, we've installed the Math tags on here. You'll have to do a manual white background tho, since it's black text. See User:Koroku/Sandbox --Koroku 02:14, 17 August 2011 (CDT)

WikiEditor
I should have mentioned this time ago but I'm still trying to find out why the old editor won't set as the default, otherwise to disable it go into "My Preferences", click on the "editing" tab and untick "Enable enhanced editing toolbar" under the "Usability features" section.--Ainz ( talk 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CDT)

ogg
If you guys can enable ogg uploads, I have all of the released digimelodies here.KrytenKoro06 19:13, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * I've just installed OggHandler, so it's all ready to go.--Ainz ( talk 19:30, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Ayaaa...any chance you guys could enable MultipleUpload, too? There's like 35 of these things.KrytenKoro06 21:00, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Yup! Not sure how it will turn out in 1.17 though. --Ainz ( talk 21:14, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Hmm, it's not letting me upload the Gravimon Darkness Mode and G-Cutemon screenshots. Well, if you guys can get it to work, you're obviously free to the ones I uploaded to the wikia.KrytenKoro06 21:33, 18 July 2011 (CDT)

Removing Two Admins
Lightlowemon and Daisuke Motomiya are far from active. Anyone against removing their admin access? --Koroku 21:23, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Well, it's been a good two years for Lightlowemon, and aside from one post, well over a year for Daisuke. I don't have a problem removing access. It's not like it can't be reactivated if, at some point, they decide that digimon has consumed their lives and they return.--devkyu 23:40, 17 July 2011 (CDT)

Update Bugs
Figured I'd start listing any problems that pop up due to the new WikiMedia update.
 * Colorscheme reset back to the white bg/black text default for regular pages. --devkyu 00:33, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Fixed. (I think...) --Ainz ( talk 05:54, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * The text in tables (e.g. List of Digimon) is still black (and tabs don't work yet). --Grandy02 07:31, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Resolved the table issue. Tabs? Which tabs?--Ainz ( talk 08:39, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * E.g. in the Main Page (now empty), the NeoS2 or the NeoTCG template. --Grandy02 09:05, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Another issue: standard galleries now use white borders (example). And the footer is white (transparent), too. --Grandy02 12:33, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Is anyone else having this issue regarding the tabs/morphtabs? (Something similar happened to me earlier on but has since cleared) --Ainz ( talk 14:43, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * I can't find any tab issues at the moment, either. --devkyu 18:25, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Okay, it works again. --Grandy02 10:18, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Watch isn't working too well.KrytenKoro06 21:38, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 * I'm still trying to look into why Watch leads to an undefined page (in the Vector skin, not only does that happen but also the star icon rotates for some reason). --Ainz ( talk 10:58, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * My bad, it's supposed to rotate. Anywho, another issue which applies to the Vector skin is that the Ajax-enabled search sugestions don't work. --Ainz ( talk 21:04, 18 July 2011 (CDT)

WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL
Happened this morning?KrytenKoro06 11:21, 16 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Also, apparently GoDaddy doesn't let you renew a domain you aren't signed up for.KrytenKoro06 11:22, 16 July 2011 (CDT)
 * I would hope not. --Koroku 11:24, 16 July 2011 (CDT)
 * No no no, not "take over", renew. I.e., only you can pay to renew wikimon, apparently.KrytenKoro06 12:05, 16 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Yeah, but we always have Wikimon:Support_Wikimon --Koroku 13:05, 16 July 2011 (CDT)

Strange Battle Terminal Cards
I know a bunch of scans have been uploaded recently from the Battle Terminal series that were hard to identify (having numbers of existing cards, but different appearances). While looking up Digimon Neo scans, I found advertisements for BT cards released by Bandai Asia (yet for some reason, being written in Japanese rather than Chinese). A bunch of them are here. --devkyu 05:21, 13 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Maybe they're preliminary pics or something? As in the actual product could be in Chinese...Battle Terminal cards are being sold here in Singapore too (and packaged together with these Digimon Neo thingies), but they've been translated to English and if I'm not wrong the original Japanese cards won't work with the Battle Terminal machines here. --Garmmon 09:08, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

Regarding spammers
Would it be possible to KrytenKoro06 22:36, 9 July 2011 (CDT)
 * Have some kind of less-automated way to create an account, such as a mini-quiz question or two, or requiring a mini-quiz each time a new editor makes an edit,
 * perform a checkuser to verify the IPs (seems like it's a small range) and perform an IP block?
 * Last it was brought up, Wikimon pretty much had everything installed to keep spammers out. Not sure about the IP block though. --devkyu 05:21, 13 July 2011 (CDT)
 * We do have pretty high protections. And IP bans are rarely useful in these days where it's a click to get a new IP. --Koroku 11:54, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

Xros Wars Manga
Koroku, why isn't DATS scanlating this? Why isn't anyone scanlating this? Chapter 12 even has gijinkas! --devkyu 00:37, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
 * DATS does not have a single scanlator left, aside from me who doesn't know how to do it well :P Nor does DATS really have a translator. You could contact vale, and he might be willing to do translations, but as for editors, who knows. Do scans even exist? --Koroku 01:19, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
 * XrosRaws updated their disclaimer saying their scans could be used for scanlations. I've worked on V-Tamer before so editing wouldn't be a problem. Finding a translator is the impossible part. I should have spent more time studying... Oh well, it was just a thought. --devkyu 01:30, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
 * I sent vale a tweet --Koroku 01:49, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
 * Nezucho and I do translations for Vande for her chapter synopses...I don't know if Vande will allow them to be public though, you'll have to ask her (and probably Nezucho too) --Garmmon 08:13, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
 * Please don't take this the wrong way, but if Nezucho and you are the ones doing the work, why would wikimon need Vande's permission?KrytenKoro06 20:52, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
 * Because Vande is scary... I would know, I worked under here when I was editing V-Tamer. ;__; --devkyu 21:07, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
 * Aside from the bad blood between WtW/us (as Vande is part of WtW) there is bad blood between myself and her... and she is likely paying them. --Koroku 21:51, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
 * Because we're doing it for her? lol. But no she's not paying us, we're doing it voluntarily. Even then, you'll have to ask Nezucho at least since he did all the editing and proofreading of my translations --Garmmon 23:05, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
 * Best case scenario: Vande says yes. Worst case scenario: She drains us of blood and our bodies are never found again...--devkyu 06:24, 23 June 2011 (CDT)

Concept/Reference Art
I have been finding more and more concept art (and animator's lineart references) lately, so I was wondering if it's something worth uploading as part of a character's image galleries. There's a good amount of newer Xros Wars art in this gallery here. I have scans from the second Adventure 02 lineart book also. It might not be feasible seeing how finicky the Image Uploader has been lately, though. Opinions? --devkyu 03:45, 19 May 2011 (CDT)
 * Yeah, I've been picturing something like this for a while so I think it would definitely be worth doing, despite the image uploading problems.--Ainz ( talk 19:12, 19 May 2011 (CDT)
 * Go for it! Feel free to upload as much as you want! I'd love to be a major resource for that sort of stuff. --Koroku 23:23, 29 May 2011 (CDT)
 * I'll be uploading any scans from my own collection of materials here, so feel free to do what you want with them. --devkyu 00:37, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
 * I have no personal use for 'em, but feel free to put them up on pages or w/e. Just bug me if more space is needed or w/e. --Koroku 01:19, 20 June 2011 (CDT)

Image Uploads
Is anyone else having a problem uploading images? It seems the problem is mostly with PNG files. It doesn't seem to be much of an issue with filesize, because there are much larger PNG files on the server, although the larger they are, the more often the error tends to pop up. I've saved using different filesizes and exporting in different programs, but it tends to give the same result. I'm going to try a few other methods, but was wondering if the File Upload was being a bitch to anyone else lately. --devkyu 05:34, 2 May 2011 (CDT)
 * Yeah, I've had a few problems with uploading images. --Ainz ( talk 09:17, 2 May 2011 (CDT)
 * Okay, it apparently has little to do with filesize at this point. Even resizing the image down to 100kb still results in the error. I give up. I'll try uploading it again when the server isn't having a nervous breakdown.--devkyu 03:03, 6 May 2011 (CDT)
 * When in doubt, e-mail pawitp or me. We were close to the quota, so I doubled it. (We now use over 2GB on the server) Does it still seem to be having problems after that? --Koroku 23:23, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

New Card Template
I was just curious if it was possible to essentially have both the original TCG template (aka, all the cards listed) and the new one (tabber with quotes/images) integrated together? Possibly with one aligned on left and the other on the right, so the full lists can still be seen without having to tab through each section individually? --devkyu 21:47, 29 April 2011 (CDT)
 * A bit like how this is?--Ainz ( talk 23:13, 29 April 2011 (CDT)
 * Yes, that makes it much easier to browse all the cards at a glance!--devkyu 02:43, 30 April 2011 (CDT)
 * Do you think we should include something to make a Digimon's debut card stand out, or just leave it as it is?--Ainz ( talk 22:22, 1 May 2011 (CDT)
 * I would leave it as-is, because its debut card would already be listed at the top of the page under the Debut tab. --devkyu 05:37, 2 May 2011 (CDT)
 * I've just discovered that you can also use images as links to switch between text, as demonstrated here.--Ainz ( talk 10:57, 7 May 2011 (CDT)

Possible Tabber Replacement
I'm going to try and find out how to incorporate the code responsible for, which could help out with/improve stuff such as the Image Gallery and the Stats Template.--Ainz ( talk 13:42, 20 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I've managed to integrate it and here's a test which includes a concept to improve the Image Gallery.--Ainz ( talk 10:49, 26 April 2011 (CDT)
 * And here's an idea to improve the TCG section: TCG improvement concept. --Ainz ( talk 10:56, 27 April 2011 (CDT)

Bots
As there are over 4000 card images, the most effective way of categorizing them is through the use of a bot. Does anyone have any idea how to create one? --Ainz ( talk 12:50, 18 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I checked Wikipedia and there's a page with a list of already-created bots and their functions. It might be possible to just use one of those. --devkyu 16:35, 18 April 2011 (CDT)
 * If you need any special perms to run a bot, let me know. --Koroku 23:23, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

Fanfiction and Fancharacters
Can we do something about that, like having an announcement that this Wiki is only for official stuff and that that kind of stuff is not welcome here, unlike that Digimon Wiki? Because I think it is getting annoying. --MugenSeiRyuu 16:06, 11 April 2011 (CDT)
 * Well, it IS on the Rules page that fan material isn't allowed. Either no one bothers to read them or just ignores them. --devkyu 19:29, 11 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I personally don't mind, but at least put a Fan: label on it or something. --Koroku 22:31, 11 April 2011 (CDT)
 * Or restrict it to a Userpage so it doesn't get classified as a main Namespace page, e.g User:######/......--Ainz ( talk 02:07, 12 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I think it is better to not have them at all. Otherwise people might get confused. See that "Stitch & Digimon" crap some people actually though was genuine due to being on the Digimon Wiki....--MugenSeiRyuu
 * To be fair, that's their own fault for not reading. All of those fanfiction pages are very clearly labeled as fanfiction on the Digimon Wiki.KrytenKoro06 08:01, 12 April 2011 (CDT)
 * Really? Thought it wasn't in this case... But my opinion regarding that stands: There shouldn't be Fanfiction here. --MugenSeiRyuu 10:16, 12 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I would have to agree. There are plenty of places where they can put their fanfiction that aren't here. If they really want attention that much, they can put links to their stories from their user pages.--devkyu 13:18, 12 April 2011 (CDT)

Chatroom
Please read this, and let me know if you guys would be interested. --Koroku 14:57, 26 February 2011 (CST)
 * Are they basically offering to have one of their three staff on watching your channel at all times? Seems...unlikely. I guess you can always delete the channel if they aren't able to hold up their end of the bargain.
 * If you guys for some reason ever want to get a freenode IRC, we can advertise it on the Digimon Wiki.KrytenKoro06 19:32, 26 February 2011 (CST)
 * Yeah, basically give us a chatroom. I suppose we could share it with you guys at Digimon Wiki? :) --Koroku 19:39, 26 February 2011 (CST)
 * As long as it doesn't slow down the loading times any, I'm neutral about it. Then again, how many people are actually active here anyway? Like... maybe five or six people? I don't really see how much traffic a chatroom would realistically get here. --devkyu 04:08, 27 February 2011 (CST)
 * Yeah, the Digimon Wiki IRC died a quick death.KrytenKoro06 10:59, 2 March 2011 (CST)

As I'm home for the summer, I will see about experimenting with this. Get a java chat running or mibbit or something. --Koroku 23:23, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

V-Tamer
I'm planning to go through V-Tamer and make a list of character appearances. I don't suppose someone could possibly go through and just create pages for the chapters that are currently red links? CloneWarrior 20:44, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I made a list a while back, I'll upload it to V-Tamer's talk page. Can't remember if it needs updating or not.--devkyu 21:55, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
 * Actually, I was hoping someone could just put together pages for each of the chapters after 12. I'll add character lists for both recurring characters and debut ones (your list only has debuts). CloneWarrior 22:23, 19 April 2011 (CDT)
 * AhahahaI'm soon going to have "more free time". Alongside updating Xros Wars info on the Digimon Wiki, I was going to go through the V-Tamer and Xros Wars chapters -- would you guys be okay with having the same summaries (with name changes, of course), or would you prefer a different style?KrytenKoro06 22:34, 19 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I can get started on the pages, but I have no way of typing kana/kanji (and rather not have to copy/paste everything from a chart for another 40 chapters), so someone will have to fill that section in on the template.--devkyu 23:11, 19 April 2011 (CDT)

Episode 40
From 2ch:

黄金の海に囲まれ、島が金塊でできているゴールドランドに辿り着いたタイキ達. そこに、デスジェネラルの一人・オレーグモンが現れる. オレーグモンはタイキ達の実力を高く評価しており、ゴールドランドに伝わる魔法の呪文を唱えれば、金賊団に加えてやると言いだす. その申し出を断るキリハだったが、オレーグモンは自分の所有している海賊船がなければ次の世界へ行く事はできないと告げる.

Taiki and co. finally arrive at Gold Land, an island made of gold and encircled by a sea of gold. There, Olegmon, one of the Death Generals, appears. Olegmon assesses the true strength of Taiki and co. highly, and suggests that if it chants the magic spell told of in Gold Land, they will be added to the Gold-thief's group. Although Kiriha turned down that offer, it is learned that it is impossible to go to the next land if you don't have the pirate ship in Olegmon's possession.

2010 Anime / Xros Wars Version Designation and Clarification
A couple things about this:
 * Whamon (Xros Wars) is introduced as an autonomous Digimon from Whamon - King Whamon. This is not a title, because it's written in katakana as part of the Digimon's name (such as King Etemon) and not "Whamon Daioh" or "Whamon-sama".  We also see a completely normal-looking Whamon in the Cyberland arc that looks nothing like this Whamon, making it fairly clear that King Whamon is a separate entity and a separate Digimon.

Sprites from V-Pets and Games
Right now, in most Digimon articles there is one piece of Bandai artwork and, if the Digimon appeared in the anime, often Toei artwork and at least one anime screenshot. But only a few of the articles show the Digimon's appearance in virtual pets and video games (not to mention manga). The handful of articles that use the "other images" section of the infobox usually only include the Digimon Story (Sunburst & Moonlight) sprite (the infobox doesn't state the sprite's origin, though).

In the article Aero V-dramon, a user added three images to the "Other" part, one v-pet sprite and two DS sprites. If more sprites were added in this fashion, it would start to look messy, also because the images are just there without mentioning their origin. I wonder, could image galleries for v-pet/game sprites and maybe game screenshots be added to articles, perhaps even outside of the infobox? It's not that I could rip any of them myself, but there are quite a few at certain spriting websites. --Grandy02 08:44, 24 February 2011 (CST)
 * I tried something, please tell what you think (of course there would have to be templates and such). --Grandy02 13:58, 1 March 2011 (CST)

That actually looks pretty good. I've been having thoughts about removing the "Images" tab and replacing it with a image gallery of some sort.--Ainz ( talk 16:39, 1 March 2011 (CST)
 * I'll just drop by and nitpick a bit; how about the games where PicoDevimon has a minor role in, say Digimon Battle Spirit? Will you add a PicoDevimon sprite from that game? And there's also D-Project, which I don't mind ripping sprites from but it's kinda of a pain to progress through that game, and I can't find any save files..Just my two cents, lol. I like the idea though, since I'm a spriter and all and this would make it much easier to find base Digimon sprites without looking all over the place. --Garmmon 19:18, 1 March 2011 (CST)
 * I think it looks pretty good. Only problem is getting sprites from some of the older games. I wonder if it's possible to make a template that can accommodate for whatever games are added without having to make each section manually... --devkyu 19:34, 1 March 2011 (CST)
 * Thanks that you like it. I changed it into a template, but of course there is still work to be done, especially preventing the unused cells of the table to appear (I have yet to learn how that actually works). Additional cells could always be added (naturally there surely is a better solution than the current one, but it's a beginning). @Garmmon: Of course that sprite would be added as well, I just took those I found at The Spriter's Resource plus the Digimon Story sprite (Is there any other good site offering Digimon sprites?). I think it shouldn't be just used for 2D sprites, but also for (cropped) screenshots, espcially in case of games using 3D models (example). The best would of course be an image of the model with a blank/transparent background (like here, but sadly most monsters are partly covered). --Grandy02 09:56, 2 March 2011 (CST)
 * For Digimon Story sprites there's of course WtW, and the Spriters' Resource has Digimon Championship, Battle Spirit, Digital Partner and Ver. Wonderswan. I think I've got all the Brave Tamer battle sprites stashed somewhere on my harddrive, though I forgot who originally ripped it since I know I didn't. I also have a folder of Digimon Medley sprites that DigistarDBZ ripped. I should be able to rip the Digimon Racing sprites no problem; and maybe the missing Battle Spirit ones. I have an incomplete dex on my D-Project save file too so I could rip the ones I already have..about 3D games I have no clue, sorry. That said, what about the human characters? Say, the Adventure-Tamers children appear in Digimon Medley, there's Ryo in the Ryo games, then there's the Battle Spirit games and stuff..--Garmmon 10:27, 2 March 2011 (CST)
 * Of course the template can be used for non-Digimon characters, too. Anyway, I learned how "#if" works, edited the template and added additional cells. Almost everything works fine, but there is one problem: When less than six images in a row are used, but e.g. just one instead, useless   tags get generated for some reason in the cells (as seen in the source code). Just look below. Does anybody know why? --Grandy02 12:28, 2 March 2011 (CST)


 * I still can't get #if tags to work (I usually end up causing whatever table I'm working on it explode), especially if #else is involved. I often end up with useless strings of text or code hanging around if all sections aren't utilized. Ainz would likely know how to keep the template from having a nervous beakdown. --devkyu 16:59, 2 March 2011 (CST)
 * Okay, it works now! The wraps in the code between the #if expressions were interpreted as lines of the cells. --Grandy02 08:29, 3 March 2011 (CST)
 * I added galleries to Pico Devimon and Tailmon in the Video Games sections (due to the images being video game sprites). Do you think that's okay or should there be one Image Gallery section for everything? --Grandy02 09:37, 3 March 2011 (CST)
 * I did the same for several other articles, but I'd like to read your opinions before continuing. --Grandy02 09:07, 4 March 2011 (CST)
 * It's looking good so far. The only issue I have is the extra unwanted cells appearing, especially in Pico Devimon's case. Also, what should we do about animated sprites? --Ainz ( talk 07:03, 6 March 2011 (CST)
 * In case of the unwanted cells, I can only give them the dark background colour at the moment. About animated sprites, maybe two registers that allow to switch between non-animated and animated images? But what would the animated ones include? Every possible frame, e.g. walking in every direction for map sprites and attack/hurt frames for battle sprites? Or just one direction and idle animation respectively (in any case, making those as well would be beyond my capacity)? Also, please tell, should there be one section for every gallery (virtual pet sprites would also need one) or is the current way alright? And what about artwork that is currently in the "Other images" part of the infobox? --Grandy02 10:23, 6 March 2011 (CST)
 * I think maybe having virtual pet sprites on the actual V-Pet pages might be better than on the digimon's pages, like how File Island has them. As for the "Other images" tab, I've seen it used on maybe a handful of pages, and they have all been video game sprites, so just port them into the new template? --devkyu 13:26, 6 March 2011 (CST)
 * Why not having them on both pages (V-Pet and Digimon)? Anyway, Ainz already removed "Other images". In most cases the Toei artwork is the only thing found under "Images" in the infoboxes, but I think an actual gallery for artwork would be better (for that the standard gallery tag might even be good enough). --Grandy02 13:56, 6 March 2011 (CST)

V-Pet & Game templates
Currently doing a slight revamp of the templates for the V-pet and Game pages. For now I'm going to adjust the release date and language fields to show which territories they were released in (Japan, US, Europe, Asia, etc). For the game section I was thinking of making it a tabber to show information and box art from different territories and adjust it to now have a giant blank space if a game was only released in Japan.

I'm also wondering if the actual template colors should be made dark with white text to match the current layout. Suggestions or requests?--devkyu 03:36, 17 February 2011 (CST)

Spam Problem
I'm pretty sure everyone has noticed our recent uninvited guests. I'm not sure what defenses we already have in effect, but GreenReaper suggested quite a few extensions we can add in, including SimpleAntiSpam, ForcePreview, SpamBlackList, AntiBot and AbuseFilter.

I've copy/pasted their reply here. Hopefully some of these are usable for Wikimon... I know it sometimes tends to explode when things are installed. --devkyu 03:11, 30 January 2011 (CST)

Hyper Colosseum Rules
I just got the Ultimate Battle Deck and now have access to the rulebook. I'll be scanning and uploading them soon. Maybe then we can actually figure out how the game is played...--devkyu 18:54, 20 January 2011 (CST)
 * UPDATE: Uploading full size scans to the usual folder, 43 pages total for the rulebook (though a good chunk are checklists for previous sets), they're they "dmcg" images.--devkyu 00:55, 21 January 2011 (CST)

Affiliation Request
I was wondering if it was at all possible for Wikimon to affiliate with a Digimon RPG. Digital Dreams is an RP that's been around near half a decade and is still fairly active. Its used Wikimon pretty regularly and already the staff refers Wikimon has the best place to go for first time Digimon RPers to find their Digimon lines at. Just a simple question. Hopefully I've done this right; I'm used to Forums. ^^;; Our site link is http://z10.invisionfree.com/DigitalDreams/index.php?showuser=304 and here is our affiliates button: http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/4528/ddtagei4.gif

Digimon RPG & Masters Evos
Should we really list the Evos exclusive to those Games? They are llikely not supported by Bandai Japan...--MugenSeiRyuu 18:51, 19 November 2010 (CST)
 * That's what I'm wondering.--Ainz ( talk 17:17, 4 December 2010 (CST)
 * Doesn't matter to me either way. For the most part we still don't have most of the Wonderswan game evos up at this point, and they'd take priority over the MMOs.--devkyu 22:25, 4 December 2010 (CST)
 * That is for sure true. As far as the MMOs go, I wouldn't count them.--MugenSeiRyuu 04:21, 5 December 2010 (CST)

Profile Links
Since Digimon.net has long since taken down all of their virtual pet subsites, all of the reference links original directing to them are dead. Since it's doubtful that they will ever be brought back online, what does everyone think of the idea of "rebuilding" the V-pet profile sites by ripping them off of the Wayback Machine? I'm not really sure if this is feasible or not. --devkyu 00:26, 19 November 2010 (CST)
 * Whatever you can find, we can host. archive.wikimon.net can be set up, or you can host them through the wiki... doesn't much matter to me. :) --Koroku 03:21, 19 November 2010 (CST)
 * Awesome. I just found a few pages, right now I'm playing with the coding and seeing what needs to be done to trim them down... taking out all the WBM and Channel codes and rearranging all the files into one spot. Seems that each page has its own folder of images >_<. This... could take a while. --devkyu 05:08, 19 November 2010 (CST)
 * NP. Let me know what you need, and I'll get it set up. --Koroku 09:00, 19 November 2010 (CST)
 * Me and Lanate did a dump of what we could find a while back. You should ask him if he can megaupload his stuff, and I'll do mine as soon as I get back to my home computer. (I have Pendulums and Burst, I think, he has most of the others)KrytenKoro06 09:34, 19 November 2010 (CST)
 * Okay, after fooling around a while with this, I managed to get a page working! Digital Monster Ver. 1. It was stupidly complicated to cut everything out and redirect links to the images, but I managed to trim out all of the digimon channel frames and the wayback machine coding. I'm going to see if I can get the full Digital Monster subsite up.--devkyu 21:14, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * Nice. --Koroku 23:31, 21 November 2010 (CST)

Xros Wars Ep 1 Fandub
So FET (Floppy Eared Terriermon of DigiFandub.net if anyone remembers him from back in the day) has started up auditions for a Xros Wars fandub:VAA thread. I figured it might get some interest here. If there's no objections, does anyone think we should frontpage the link? --devkyu 00:51, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Wikimon 5th Anniversary (December 16)
With it being in exactly 4 months time (from today), should we do anything special for it?--Ainz ( talk 02:18, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * We definitely should, although what exactly is the question. If it requires art, I can probably help come up with something given enough notice. At this point we still have a decent amount of time to plan --devkyu 07:48, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * ...5 years? Wow. --Koroku 21:59, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, the deadline is closing in on us, so we should probably start making plans about now for what we're going to do. I can always do profile pics, front page images, or a short comic with the admins and random stuff going on. Any ideas yet? --devkyu 20:51, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Contests or give-aways would be kinda fun. --Koroku 15:36, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Some random thoughts: A special color scheme for the Main Page, a banner commemorating the anniversary, tying in with the contest/give-away idea, I was thinking maybe a Digimon Xros Loader.--Ainz ( talk 17:09, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Those sound good. I can definitely handle the banner. In addition to that, maybe a few small one-panel comics to be thrown up on the main page regarding the wiki. Did a quick set of doodles as an example: File:Wikicom_example.jpg. Suggestions welcome... also, sorry Kryten, but until you inform me otherwise, you are a Koromon.--devkyu 02:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I'll try and get some less-sketchy ones up soon then! --devkyu 00:51, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I could sort out the color scheme. Any ideas as to what colors we could use, or even a possible picture we could use for the background instead of dark gray (e.g. something similar to or )? Also, I'm planning on ordering a Digimon Xros Loader for a contest/give-away and possibly Digimon Minis (Xros Wars Version) for the runner(s) up, but what should the contest be about and what format should it be?--Ainz ( talk 20:56, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I like the darker color scheme of the second image, the first one is pretty bright and might be a bit busy depending. Really depends on how it goes with the rest of the layout. As for the contest... so far I haven't got a clue on what could actually work for a wiki. It's not like this is DeviantArt where we have a large influx of artists to have a drawing contest. Just having a "pull a number out of a hat" contest seems really cheap. Maybe a story-writing contest somehow relating to Wikimon? Like "write a story, but it has to include A B and C", that way everyone could have access to it. That and it is NaNoWriMo, so there's a chance a lot of writers are already hyped. --devkyu 21:27, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The Japanese Digimon Wiki at wikia already uses the digimon.net background, although that wiki is pretty empty.
 * I would personally prefer a comic contest, instead of writing full-on stories.KrytenKoro06 22:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I figured having stories as an option might make it more accessible, because... well... most people can't draw. Maybe having submissions be able to use multiple formats would work (art, stories, comics, etc). Of course, it doesn't have to be limited to one medium. Sadly I don't think the contest will get many entries no matter what we do. Do we get enough traffic for something like this? --devkyu 06:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know how much it would help, but the Digimon Wiki would be glad to post a notice directing people towards any contest/celebration/cocaine-fueled raver you guys set up.KrytenKoro06 06:58, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it would definitely help and possibly some form of advertisement in signatures on forums depending on whether it's permissible or not. Another option would be to construct some really difficult quiz or something. As for the background, I've managed to come up with this.--Ainz ( talk 18:28, 20 November 2010 (CST)
 * OnlineDigimon is sending me one of the Xros Wars CDs that we can give away. :) And someone want to make like a 300x100 banner or something for signatures? BG looks cool, Ainz. --Koroku 11:34, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * I can take a crack at some signature banners, does anyone know what font is used for the Wikimon logo?--devkyu 21:14, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * No clue, but User:Kimatg made it. --Koroku 23:31, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * The font used is Beatbox: http://www.dafont.com/beatbox.font --Garmmon 09:31, 23 November 2010 (CST)
 * Yay, font get! Also, should the banners advertise the 5th anniversary?--devkyu 15:13, 23 November 2010 (CST)
 * Indeed, at least some of 'em. Would be nice for some general advertising ones too. --Koroku 01:52, 24 November 2010 (CST)

Okay, I made a quick mock-up for the banner, which would you guys prefer? Also, any ideas for what crap should be going on in the background would be welcome. Frontpage Banner --devkyu 11:02, 25 November 2010 (CST)
 * Major cute! Maybe have stuff like random articles or something?
 * Okay, I'm going to start inking the banner tonight starting with the "5" and the background, so if anyone wants to suggest changes, do it within the next day or so~ --devkyu 01:00, 30 November 2010 (CST)
 * I've ordered the Xros Loader which should arrive within the next two weeks or so. We just need to come to a comprimise on the format of the contest; I personally think that a quiz would appeal to a much wider audience. I'll also put up some other possible designs for the background and some color scheme suggestions later. --Ainz ( talk 09:11, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * If you do a quiz, you're going to have to have some timer or other way to keep people from just surfing the wikis to find an answer. Possibly it could be general knowledge stuff that isn't easy to look up, like, "Why did Izzy do such and such during this event?" I'm assuming if you do a quiz, though, that wiki or almanac writers would be disqualified?KrytenKoro06 11:04, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * At this point, a diabolically difficult quiz seems like the best option at this point, and I don't doubt wiki and almanac writers would probably be disqualified for fairness... otherwise Ainz might as well just keep the Xros Loader at this point. Any idea how many questions the quiz should be? --devkyu 11:53, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * Hmmm.... between 30-50? Or maybe just 30 itself--Ainz ( talk 12:07, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * At least 30 sounds good. Next we just need to think of a submission format... and what to do if there is a tie. Not to mention evilly difficult questions for it too.--devkyu 15:52, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * Okay, got most of the Frontpage Banner inked. I can fit at least two more characters on there relatively quickly, anyone have requests/suggestions? Maybe Piccolomon... --devkyu 23:53, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * Holding a pickle and a piccolo, yes.KrytenKoro06 01:31, 2 December 2010 (CST)
 * No, no, it has to be riding the pickle! And wearing Revolmon's hat! --devkyu 04:36, 2 December 2010 (CST)
 * Looks good so far.--Ainz ( talk 08:22, 2 December 2010 (CST)
 * I'll be posting another progress pic in the morning, since most of the coloring is done now, but does anyone have any idea what two main colors the "5" should be in the banner? There's always taking the colors from one of the series logos, or matching it up with the site colors. Maybe dark gray/blue? I could probably use the microchip background over part of it. Also, XW19. Love-Love Dance. YOU CANNOT UNSEE IT.--devkyu 05:08, 7 December 2010 (CST)
 * Standard matrix-y colors (dark grey and neon green) are pro'ly good. Or you could go for toyetic anime colors - plastic red and blue.KrytenKoro06 09:09, 7 December 2010 (CST)
 * Might go with the green/gray combo. There's a lot of red on there already... I blame Shoutmon. Now it just needs the number colored and a background and it's done. Might change Shoutmon's eye a bit. Updated Banner --devkyu 17:05, 7 December 2010 (CST)
 * Great! I'd say just use the series logo colors, would make the most sense. ^o^ Let's get this up on the main page~ --Koroku 10:07, 8 December 2010 (CST)
 * Okay, here it is. I put up the Digimon.net BG as a placeholder background until something better pops up. Almost Final Banner --devkyu 00:24, 10 December 2010 (CST)
 * BRILLIANT. I'd say just crop it so we have less of that background, and maybe opaque it out some... --Koroku 02:30, 10 December 2010 (CST)
 * You mean like, make the background darker and not as blinding? Or lighten it up? --devkyu 02:42, 10 December 2010 (CST)
 * Either or. --Koroku 03:07, 10 December 2010 (CST)
 * Or both A, B, C That or we just rip a screenshot from somewhere and use that. --devkyu 03:29, 10 December 2010 (CST)
 * I'm digging A. :) --Koroku 03:48, 10 December 2010 (CST)
 * Cleaned it up a little and saved as a nice, shiny PNG! Final!
 * I received the Xros Loader a couple of days ago. As for the background, I'll try to put up some suggestions later today.--Ainz ( talk 08:58, 14 December 2010 (CST)
 * This time round, I added arrays of vertical and horizontal text reading ("Digital Monster"). I've made three different versions:, . I've also created three variants of B, , , , although B3 may become irritating after a while/cause issues. I'm inclined to choose B2; I think that the contrast between the purple, blue & turquoise are really effective, in particular, I like how the green-blue DigiLetters give it more of a Matrix-esque effect compared to A. Also, the small patches of light give it that electric feel. What adjustments should I make if any (e.g lighting, make the DigiLetters animated instead of the flashing effect, etc)?


 * All that's left now is sorting out the color scheme for the Main Page and the quiz. --Ainz ( talk 18:47, 14 December 2010 (CST)
 * I like the variants of B, but I can understand what you mean about B3 possibly becoming irritating after a while. Although without seeing it over the whole page, it's hard to tell exactly if that will be a problem. Maybe toning down just how much of it lights up or slowing down the pulsing might be a good option. A cool effect (although likely too much of a pain in the ass) would be to have electric pulses run across the circuit board. I'll have to check the backgrounds on my other monitor later, as this one is really too hard for me to really judge colors.--devkyu 23:36, 14 December 2010 (CST)


 * Despite being really laborious, I've come up with as a test for the pulse across the circuit board thing. I'm currently working on the final version (possibly less bright).--Ainz ( talk 14:29, 15 December 2010 (CST)
 * I've created a ; the final version should be complete within the next few hours. --Ainz ( talk 18:41, 15 December 2010 (CST)
 * Here's the final version: . Ainz ( talk 19:33, 15 December 2010 (CST)

 * Chrissakes, that's beautiful. I-I... oh got, that's beautiful.KrytenKoro06 15:18, 17 December 2010 (CST)

Questions
Hello, I'm still new to this site and have some questions: --Grandy02 10:42, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * 1) In Digimon articles, has text on appearances in anime, manga etc. to be written in present tense or past tense? I saw both. Any guidelines?
 * 2) Do minor misspellings in romanisations of the Digimon Dictionary have to affect article titles? That there are articles titled Red Vagimon and Bantyo Liomon while there are also Vegimon and Leomon looks really odd. You also use Piccolomon in favour of Picklemon, so why not using the "proper" spellings of the other ones, too?
 * 3) Are all anime screenshots self-made by the uploaders or taken from elsewhere?
 * 4) Many articles refer to various kinds of Digimon as male, even if they lack masculine features. AreIf they actually intended to be male?


 * 1) ... Present, I guess.
 * 2) Those are the official names. I've argued over the Picklemon/Piccolomon thing before which lead to this.
 * 3) The vast majory of them are self-made by uploaders.
 * 4) It depends on the context, e.g if a Digimon uses a gender-specific pronoun in the original anime, manga, games, etc.

--Ainz ( talk 11:39, 1 December 2010 (CST)

And another question: In some articles, I saw "humourous" placeholders, e.g. XW17 and Heaven Zone. Should those really be there? --Grandy02 12:14, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * 1) Okay, then I'll have to edit what I wrote.
 * 2) Okay.
 * 3) I see.
 * Hm, I only saw the German dubs (based on Japanese) which are inconsistent in this case (even main Digimon have been referred to by neuter pronouns). In Kuwagamon's article, I referred to it by male pronouns, but I guess that's wrong?
 * If you think there is a problem with the placeholders, you must be mistaking us for Wikipedia. We actually have a sense of humor here. They don't. And Shiny Latias is awesome.--devkyu 15:23, 1 December 2010 (CST)
 * Ah, I don't mind that much, just wondered about it. --Grandy02 08:15, 2 December 2010 (CST)

Voice Actors/Seiyuu
I was wondering, instead of a page for every voice actor/seiyuu that has been in the series, maybe it'd be better to only have pages for those who have had major/a lot of roles? Because it's pretty tedious (?) to have a page for say, every guy who only voiced some random Digimon of the day..I was thinking to have a list of voice actors like how Bulbapedia has for the Pokemon anime: 

Just my opinion though. --Garmmon 15:33, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Super Digica Taisen
Does anyone happen the know the retail price of the cards yet? I was interesting in snagging a box to get scans from (and I want that Lilithmon card...), but so far there's only a single person selling it on online so far that I can find. In my opinion, the price is pretty steep for a box of 100 cards...

Also, is the card game pretty much exclusive to the Carddass station? For me it would be more worth it if I could actually play it at home, since I don't exactly have access to a Japanese arcade--devkyu 02:33, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * They seem to be Carddass station exclusive. --Ainz ( talk 03:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and (luckily) ordered a box just now.--Ainz ( talk 09:50, 9 August 2010 (UTC)


 * $100 plus shipping seems a bit steep for 100 cards, which is why I was curious of the actual retail price in Japan. Used to getting 7-8 cards for $4 average. --devkyu 20:45, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

King Whamon: Is he his own species?
King Whamon (or KingWhamon) from episode 5 of Digimon Xros Wars seems to be his own species to me, meaning a digivolution of Whamon or a subspecies/related species of Digimon. However the Wikimon page for him is redirected to a page that just calls him "Whamon", and it's a character page for Xros Wars. Shouldn't he get his own separate Digimon page? For example, the fact that he has two water spouts instead of just one seems to show that he is not a Whamon. Inside his stomach he also looks very different than the inside of Whamon (as seen in Digimon Adventure), as well as his size is greatly different to a normal Whamon. However, both aspects could just be differences between the series. What to you think, is KingWhamon an ordinary Whamon species or not? (Oh, and sorry if this is the wrong place for this. ;) I'm just wanting to know if his page should be changed.) --Pixel 01:38, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * In the episode, some of the others, including Whamon himself, clearly refer to him as just plain "Whamon" (or "Whamon-sama"), so "King" might be a title for rulership. Even both the Toei and Asahi sites for Xros Wars continue to call him "Whamon".--Ainz ( talk 01:48, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining that! --Pixel 02:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought I should mention this - KingWhamon is much whiter than previous Whamons (which were grey at best). Hookmon's profile specifically mentions him chasing the "White Whamon", so this may be what it was referring to.KrytenKoro06 02:17, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Japanese name syntax
 What are everyone else's thoughts on this? It's definitely an issue that needs to be raised. --Ainz ( talk 20:18, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * What the heck? I'm for keeping the Japanese Syntax for everyone Japanese. Oh, and I'm for banning the IceCube Guy for calling Forum Members Idiots. But it is up to the Mods to do that. --MugenSeiRyuu 20:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * In Japanese, surname comes first. We're giving information on a Japanese subject, no matter what language we are giving it in. If some petulant child is so upset they have to send angry emails where they immaturely resort to CAPSLOCK and whine about it, they can just deal with redirects, which we have for just about every combination of surname and given name. That and eventually when a new character template is gone, it shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. EDIT: I'm all for bringing the ban hammer down too.--devkyu 20:20, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I personally hate writing like this, but as it's a sign of respect to the Japanese syntax, I think we should keep it.--Ainz ( talk 20:28, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Frontpage Icon
Hey everyone, I'm not dead! Just on vacation with no access to internet. I just sort of noticed that there are isn't an icon linking to the Anime category on the frontpage. I'm not sure if one will fit or not at this point, but should we try and squeeze one up there?

Also, I am having digimon withdrawls. --Devkyu


 * Yeah, I think there should be enough space for one. --Ainz ( talk 20:06, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Still no anime icon? --Koroku 21:32, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

More clearer
"more clear" or "clearer".KrytenKoro06 06:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Unknown Search Extension?
Does anyone know what the (possible). , as well as some other wikis have also incorporated it. --Ainz ( talk 23:21, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Sweet!--Ainz ( talk 17:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Main Page Suggestion
Just a suggestion for ya... I really like the Updates section, and I'd like to see it be higher up on the page. What if you took Template:Front and made it just half as wide? Move the search bar underneath the category headers (next to the calendar) and basically get rid of the intro. You can have the "Welcome to Wikimon - The Digimon Encyclopedia" above a smaller picture, and it would give you room to move the Updates section up.

Just an idea, you don't have to do anything about it tho. :) Still totally your game! (And I wasn't kidding about those stats on the latest update. They were seriously that high!!!)

Also, feel free to butt me out of Admin Announcements. You can make your own too. --Koroku 03:33, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Even though there's the magazine scan, is it really authentic?--Ainz ( talk 17:01, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * At this point, it looks to be so, especially with Bandai registering merchandise and all. That and it's a few days too late, and also too ugly to be an April Fools joke. Personally I think the cast and storyline of Lost Evolution would be much more suited to an anime than this new kid and his Megazord. At least Greymon looks kind of cool... --devkyu 17:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Cool! Digimon look a bit quarky at first but hopefully it will look better closer to the final project. Their using Greymon (looks like Masaru's version) again. Odd. And the boy looks like a fusion of 01 Taichi and 02 Daisuke lol. --Daisuke Motomiya 10:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Digimon Dictionary
Dear Digimon Dictionary, I am disowning you. Whoever updates your profiles has the most atrocious spelling in all of existence. If I can learn three Japanese writing systems, you can learn the roman alphabet. I'm positive Wikipedia's Japanese section has sufficient resources to find out how the names of creatures/mythology you are referencing are actually spelled.

P.S. I am keeping your high quality images. --devkyu 09:58, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Episode character debuts
Under the 'characters' section of an episode where you put the debut and recurring characters and all. Does 'debut' characters count those random cameo Digimon that don't actually do anything in the episode? (like Digimon Frontier episode 17; tons of random Digimon cameos like Jijimon, Agumon, V-mon etc that are pretty much just background) --Garmmon 05:53, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe a cameo tab would be better for that type of stuff. I'll add it quickly. For the format, see Digimon Frontier - Episode 03 --Ainz ( talk 07:07, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, thanks! :) So say episode 6 has a cameo Gottsumon, the 'main' Gottsumon that first appears in episode 10 would be a debut, right? --Garmmon 07:50, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah! --Ainz ( talk 17:29, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

About Sites
Isn't it a bad idea to have the Digimon Wiki there, given that their information is rather questionable and based on their opinions in alot cases?--MugenSeiRyuu 01:27, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it mostly facilitates others needs to have a dub-oriented source easily a click away so they don't go on rampages of changing the Japanese terms to Dub ones as has happened frequently before. --devkyu 02:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It being a Dub Oriented Source is less of a Problem. It's more the whole based on Opinion things. Example Angemon: " He and Angewomon are partners and they complement each other's powers well. Even though he is a Champion, he is strong enough to defeat Evil Ultimate Digimon." That implies that he generally would have that power, which ofcourse is only true if the enemy is a creature of Darkness. And that he and Angewomon are generally a couple of sorts. Another example is Labramon: "He is the enemy of Gatomon." Where exactly is that from? --MugenSeiRyuu 09:34, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Episode Transcripts
I'm going to plan on adding the transcripts for the dub episodes and (eventually) the long, difficult and tedious task of writting the transcripts for the original episodes, hopefully it should all pay off in the end. --Ainz ( talk 16:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Does this maybe cross over a legal line? --Koroku 18:22, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * On second thought, maybe it does. --Ainz ( talk 18:35, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah... I don't know if this is really a great idea. Useful, yes... but not so much legal. And I'd like to keep Wikimon as legal as possible. :) --Koroku 18:57, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
