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)

Favicon
Have you guys ever thought about using a favicon for Wikimon? --Grandy02 12:57, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * We have in the past, but we didn't actually get around to discussing about it in detail. What should we use for a favicon? I initially had thoughts of using something similiar to the W displayed on the digivice in the logo. --Ainz ( talk 13:29, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * A X Loader?KrytenKoro06 19:13, 18 July 2011 (CDT)
 * The LCD screen W wouldn't be bad. --Grandy02 12:50, 30 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)

Facebook/Twitter
Just wondering, when did this happen?KrytenKoro06 17:34, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
 * I think around the time the sun was coming up earlier today. --devkyu 18:02, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
 * I did make an announcement. :P --Koroku 18:42, 20 June 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.
