Black Gaogamon
There is a problme with that page, as he was never named as such. Just as a black Gaogamon, nver as BlackGaogamon.MugenSeiRyuu

Hard drive failure
Okay, so I happened to suffer a massive hard drive failure a few days ago, and almost every file I tried to pull off of it was corrupt... so I might be not-all-here for a while, while I try and rebuild my archive and cheatsheets. That and my wacom tablet decided to die on me too for unrelated reasons, so image edits will have to stop for a while. I had most of my Wikimon resources backed up, but it'll still take a while for me to get back up and running. --devkyu 18:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, bad luck, hopefully it won't take that long. Good luck, and see you when your back. --Lightlowemon 02:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Slogan, favicon?
Do you think we should have either of these? --Ainz 01:54, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, why not? The favicon would be nice. Not sure what to use for a slogan though. "We actually reference our information instead of pulling it out of our asses" sound good? --devkyu 03:56, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Profiles and Sources not showing up
WarGreymon X-antibody's Profile does not show up on the page. Neither does the source for Panjyamon as an Adult Level nor Otamamon as Baby II.
 * The issue with the sources not appearing has occurred on some other pages as well but I'm not sure what's causing it, as for Wargreymon X-Antibody's profile, its due to the " ", but I can't find an official profile with that content in it, which is why it's hidden; the closest I can find is the one from the Digimon Chronicle 1.0 page. I've tried looking for one in the Pendulum-X gallery but I'm not sure what URL it comes under. --Ainz 21:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. The page for the pendulum itself does not have all the profiles.

Also, for some odd reason, the D-1 Tamer source appears several times on the V-dramon subspecies and Elecmon pages. MugenSeiRyuu
 * I've fixed them. --Ainz 22:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Hmm, just chekd Nefertimon. That she is Armor also does not show up. MugenSeiRyuu
 * Fixed it. --Ainz 09:36, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thamks. Now I have the same Problem for Magnamon. His Dictionary Profile labels him an Ultimate, but it does not show up.MugenSeiRyuu

Anode/Cathode Tamer Sprites
So, for SCIENCE, I am forcing myself to play this evil, evil game and I might just waste my time even more and do sprite rips. What I want to know is how I should have these in an image file. Most digimon have a field sprite, attacking sprite, and defending sprite. Some characters that you can talk to on the map (story characters, Digimon around File Island, etc.) have an icon of their face during dialogue. And Variable digimon (whose only appearance are in special techniques) only have a single sprite.

Should the images be in a single file horizontally, or should they be in more of a "box" shape, with two on the top and two on the bottom? I'm asking this mostly because I plan to eventually upload them all here. Also, since I'm ripping from the V-dramon version, any ideas for a name format? anodecathodetamervdramonversion_agumon.png is a bit... excessive. maybe agumon_actamer.png might suffice. --devkyu 06:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

IMO, I think that the images would look better in the shape of a box, but then again we could test both of them out. --Ainz 07:21, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I also think the box would probably work, and for the naming convention, actv_agumon.png, it's a lot shorter --Lightlowemon 07:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I uploaded a test version. It's missing one sprite, but here's the basic layout so far. In-game, most of the images have a white border around them, but I just deleted it for consistency. --devkyu 08:11, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I am searching for certain scenes in Digimon (Anime)
Hi,

I hope I'm in the right community. In some anime shows (e.g. Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece, etc), there are scenes where they fight (Digidestined, "Chosen Kids"), someone have to pee or someone gets hit into the nuts and thats in the form of funny or strange. Such scenes I haven't seen in Digimon (except with Tai and Matt^^).

Is there such scenes in Digimon and have you ever seen such (maybe in an Digimon Movie? If possible with episode number, please)?

Many thanks in advance.

--Dragonlady 17:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh...well the closest I've seen is in Digimon Adventure Episode 46 where Metal Etemon farts in Pinocchimon (Puppetmon)'s face, and Digimon Adventure 02 Episode 22 where Daisuke (Davis) and V-mon (Veemon) accidentally sees a Tortamon (Tortomon) urinating and it gets angry and chases him down. Both of these are cut from the NA dub though.--Daisuke Motomiya 01:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

There is also, in Digimon Adventure, when they return from the Digital World, Koromon poops in the back of someone's van. Also, almost any scene with Scumon (Sukamon) or Numemon, fecal matter is guarenteed to be thrown. Also, for groin attacks, the first episode of Digimon Savers where Masaru is fighting Agumon, Masaru gets kicked below the belt. --devkyu 01:46, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Other then those you were told about here and on With The Will, in the first movie, Digimon Adventure, isn't there numerous poop scenes? --Lightlowemon 06:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for your answers :) Yes, such scenes I searched. I did not know whether I'm right here, so I have it still in the With The Will forum written, too.

Usergroup color
I've finally managed to find out how to change the colors of particular users, especially to make admins more distinguishable, do you think we should use a different color to purple or remove the italics, etc or any other comments? --Ainz 00:22, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It scared me at first, I thought I had broken something, I'm fine with it though. I'd be interested to here some of the non-admin views though, anyway you could add a note to the top of the Recent Changes saying that the ones in are admins? --Lightlowemon 07:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, there's a MediaWiki-something you can alter, but I've completely forgotten what its called. Edit: Found it using the source code from Digimon Wiki. --Ainz 13:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you think we should have a separate color for bureaucrats, or just keep them the same as admins? --Ainz 16:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess we could, but is there any big difference between the two the would regard users? --Lightlowemon 07:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There's not that much of a difference, only that bureaucrats can manage usergroups of existing accounts. I'm thinking now that maybe we should keep both the same color. Also, I was thinking that we could include some kind of "honorable mention" color for key contributive users e.g MugenSeiRyuu, Maxisfreak315, as well as a color for affiliates e.g. Digimon Wiki - i.e KrytenKoro. --Ainz 12:47, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * For possible colors, I was suggesting:
 * MugenSeiRyuu , Maxisfreak315 
 * KrytenKoro06 


 * --Ainz 14:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Character Template
I'm going to attempt to work on a base for a template for the human anime/manga characters, Template:Chara1, since they are practically the only pages that don't use one at this point. Does anyone have any more suggestions for it? I was also thinking of implementing Debut options into it somehow. --devkyu 01:30, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking that we could add the voice actors from other languages besides the American dub and the original, maybe as a drop-down table for the anime characters. --Ainz 00:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

That's actually a good idea. Maybe it could be set up similar to the Digimon template, with an image and relevant biographical information on the right, and on the left have tabs and drop-downs for name etymology, voice actors, and character appearances. --devkyu 01:07, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I've got another idea as well regarding character images, if there is more than one available, i.e. Digimon Adventure characters, we could have tabs that will retain the same info, but switch the image, and if there isn't, then no tabs will appear, something similar to this, although it in its experimental stage. --Ainz 02:00, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I was over on the Heroes wiki, and I was thinking that maybe we might be able to have episode by episode appearance like what they did, but only when we had everything running smoothly here. As well as up to date stuff. This idea is a ways off happening. --Lightlowemon 02:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Belphemon Sleep Mode
In its Savers profile it clearly mentions that it's counted as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords but yet in other media (i.e cards) Belphemon Rage Mode is specifically stated to be one of the Seven Great Demon Lords as opposed to Sleep Mode. But since the majority of Savers profiles are basically direct quotes from Digimon's official profiles, we don't know if this is the same case. How should it be included in the SDGLs article, with it being a debatable issue? On a similar note, Beelzebumon X-Antibody is also counted as one of them, but that's been confirmed solidly in Dα-497 and Bx-163. --Ainz 18:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Question, what about the Lucemon forms, how are they going to be included, I mean Falldown is the only full one, but what about plain old Lucemon? On that note also Larvae Mode. --Lightlowemon 02:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Lucemon: Satan Mode would definitely be the other main Lucemon form to include in relation to the SDGLs' crests as wellas some other SGDL related stuff, along with Odudomon, but ordinary Lucemon currently hasn't been involved with the SGDLs as a group.--Ainz 07:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Seven Great Demon Lords' Crests
Does anyone know where there are HQ versions of the crests? The only other thing I can think of is Digimon Savers: Another Mission but I don't know how they're displayed in the game aside from being shown in attacks.--Ainz 02:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I checked my image collections haven't found anything. The only other place I can think of aside from Another Mission is the digimon02.net Battle Terminal site. I've been searching through it, but so far I haven't found any images of the crests.

EDIT: It's likely impossible to get good quality rips from, but there's pictures of the crests in the Battle Terminal 02 game. They can be seen near the end of the Jump Fest 2008 video under Movies. I say we hijack an arcade and steal all their Battle Terminals. --devkyu 03:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I haven't found anything, not that I have a large amount of resources, weren't there cards in the alpha set that had the crests for the SGDL on them? I second dev's motion, arcade hi-jacking, unfortunately I can't help with that, never seen a battle terminal game at the few arcades I've seen. I have a copy of Bx-148 if it helps though, it has the crests, but their small. --Lightlowemon 03:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I was also looking at some Youtube videos and came across this. If only the crests were in higher quality... Edit: Also this --Ainz 04:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

All I can find is the 270 x 209 image. --Lightlowemon 04:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Gomamon2000 Card Database
It's going off-line soon... --Lightlowemon 12:57, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

A real shame. Looks like I need to look into how to download the entire database with minimal effort... EDIT: Okay, I'm working on getting the database running on my own server space. I'll try and have a link to it up soon if I succeed in figuring it out. --devkyu 22:13, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, getting everything up and running. I still have some more to upload, but all of the card images from the Card Database are in the gallery if you want specific ones, or if you just want the entire thing, a link to the .RAR file of all of them is on the front page here. If anyone thinks of anything else, tell me here.--devkyu 05:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Errors
Is anyone else getting redirected to a non-existant page called 500.shtml at random times when you click to go to another page?--Daisuke Motomiya 18:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I've contacted the server administrator about it who is trying to resolve the problem. --Ainz 20:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I sent off a mail to Koroku,I find that I mostly get it after hitting the save page button, I'm also randomly getting a white background instead of the black one. Besides from this I think that the 500 problem is making some edits not show up in recent changes, for example I went through and added the references for the new cards, eg. this edit.--Lightlowemon 01:19, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm getting it a lot randomly too, but usually not on Recent Changes or image pages. --devkyu 03:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Do people not read the properly titled "Admin Announcements"? --Koroku 15:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I do, that's why I e-mailed you, just to make sure. --Lightlowemon 08:10, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Alpha Card Images
Well, I just discovered that Wikimon can't have image filenames with the "α" symbol and it causes an error. Should images be uploaded with a regular "a" in the filename instead? (ex: Da-001)?

Yeah, I've just modified the Template. --Ainz 04:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * May as well, how else could we do it? After all, it looks like only you and Devkyu can upload card images as I only have a dew English cards, none of them Alpha, all Booster and/or Starter. May I ask why there is such a big difference between the design for the Bo/St etc. than for Alpha/Battle Terminal? --Lightlowemon 08:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

The templates are designed to be similar to the actual layout of a card. The current appearance of the Alpha template will change, for now its just a basic backbone. What type of English cards do you have? We could extend the range of cards to include ones outside Japan. --Ainz 09:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll have to find them, the only card I remember off the top of my head though is a Holographic Saber Leomon. I also have a few of the Adventure Character cards, some of the D-Tector cards, the whole set of Digi-FX cards and most of the 02 Battle Cards, the FX and Battle Cards are from chip packets though. I live in Australia unfortunately which means it is heaps difficult for me to get anything Digimon related, even when it was popular. --Lightlowemon 10:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I also have quite a few of the Character cards, almost the whole set, a few promotional D-Tector cards, and the first english Hyper Colosseum set, as far as english cards go.--devkyu 12:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Page Amount
Was surfing over on Bulbapedia and found some coding that might help with the page count so it doesn't have to be manually changed, I'll just copy the whole message:

What does MediaWiki think an article is? The MediaWiki code is as follows:

function isCountable( $text ) { 	global $wgUseCommaCount, $wgMwRedir; if ( 0 != $this->mTitle->getNamespace ) { return 0; } if ( $wgMwRedir->matchStart( $text ) ) { return 0; } $token = ($wgUseCommaCount ? ',' : '[[' ); 	if ( false === strstr( $text, $token ) ) { return 0; } 	return 1; }
 * 1) Would the given text make this article a &quot;good&quot; article (i.e.,
 * 2) suitable for including in the article count)?

This means that any article that is in the main namespace (i.e. not prefixed with Bulbapedia: or Help:) that is not a redirect that has a link (or at least a [[ ) is considered a countable article -- since virtually every article, even the stubs, have a category link, this can be considered a very inclusive article count.

Here is the original if you want it:http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:About --Lightlowemon 14:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

That's basically the segment of code that functions as a default on all MediaWiki-based Wikis. The problem is due to the system's cache, which is currently giving a misleading number of articles, even though the "excluded" pages satisfy the criteria above, i.e 2,540 compared to. --Ainz 14:11, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Alpha Evolve 8
Does anyone know where to find a full card list of Evolve.8 - Four Holy Beasts Reign Compilation? I can't seem to find one anywhere, including on Digimon Web. -devkyu 09:56, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll put up a list soon. --Ainz 11:36, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

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)

If your playing them from files Media Player Classic can screen cap for you (go to the File menu then choose Save Image).--Daisuke Motomiya 04:13, 26 December 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. The Golux 23:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

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. The Golux 01:40, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

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)
