Attribute or Type?
Although this parameter has currently been referred to as "Type", the kanji used for it is the same as what is used for the Digimon parameter. Should we use "Attribute" or continue using "Type"? --Ainz ( talk 09:22, 21 July 2016 (CDT)

AppLink Uniqueness?
Should the different AppLink have their own page, or instead they should be merged with their respective base Appmon page (e.g. DoGatchmon Plus Dokamon just considered as DoGatchmon, or even a different kind of DoGatchmon within the same page)? In my case, I definetely opt for the latter. As far as I've seen of Cyber Arena, any Appmon can be combined with any other one by AppLink, so doesn't this take away their required uniqueness in order to be considered as a separate Digimon species? Just a thought. In any case I think it is an unprecedented case within the franchise. What do you think on this matter guys? --Shadow Shinji (talk) 11:35, 20 September 2016 (CDT) That being said I would not consider forms that result from this unique species since this seems more like an advanced form of AppLink that only superficially resembles actual AppFusion.

 * idk about the others, but I agree with treating Applinked Appmon as just as extension of the original; so far they don't even have any differences from the original except another Appmon tagging along and being able to use its attacks? --Garmmon (talk) 09:17, 21 September 2016 (CDT)
 * Since AppLink is possible between all Appmon I think we should treat it as a general Appmon ability. Having the process being described on the Appmon page should suffice. ShikaSS (talk) 10:58, 21 September 2016 (CDT)
 * I also agree, the only form of Applinkng we should be really concerned with, espeically now, is App-fusion. As for stuff like card pages e.g. Dogatchmon Plus Dokamon, we could still have a category for cards with that name, but make it a subcategory of the original's. --Ainz ( talk 11:15, 21 September 2016 (CDT)
 * There seems to be a special kind of AppLink, based on this video. "Chou Gattai (超合体)" is what it's called but I think we'd rather wait for more info about it. Just wanted to throw it out there.ShikaSS (talk) 05:31, 1 December 2016 (CST)
 * Strictly speaking, we've already seen this in the anime with Gatchmon getting both Dokamon's fists when Eri was introduced and later Roleplaymon's sword, shield, and cape when the Appmon had their contest.

Chou Gattai AppLink
I feel like these "Chou Gattai (超合体)" AppLinks mentioned above are noteworthy enough to at least be mentioned on their respective Appmon's pages. As it stands, the only way to find them is to pour through all the cards and Appmon Chips on their respective pages. (Except for Gatchmon Plus Ropuremon, which isn't mentioned on any page on the entire wiki...) I would like to add a Chou Gattai AppLink section to each Appmon's page, listing their available Chou Gattai AppLinks, if that is acceptable? I feel it would make that information more readily available to people using this Wiki. There are also some of these Chou Gattai AppLinks that can evolve/AppFuse directly from the Appmon who make up the base Appmon in the card game. I wonder if they should be listed separately in the evolutions section? I went ahead and editted Gatchmon's page as a sort of proof of concept, to show what I mean. If this is acceptable, I can go ahead and do this for all the Appmon. If there is anything I need to change, feel free to let me know. I had also considered just adding the Chou Gattai AppLinks to the Evolutions section directly, with (Chou Gattai AppLink) or (Applink). If something like that may be better?

Regarding Appmon Romanization
I've been noticing lately that some of the rōmajis that the anime of Appli Monsters has been providing to us so far have some incosistencies, being the most notable ones Ropuremon, Scorpmon, and more recently, Weatherdoramon. Let's analyze each one:
 * Ropuremon: basically comes from rōrupureingu, which is the literal transliteration in Japanese of Roleplaying. This doesn't make sense to me. It is as fucked up as Lilismon, which instead of a romanization, seems more like a pronunciation tip.
 * Scorpmon: A misspeling of scope, which is clearly the concept in which its design is based on. So I don't understand the need of this awkard misspeling...
 * Weatherdoramon: probably the most alarming one. There a lots of -dramon (ドラモン) alongside the entire franchise, but still they have romanized the name as -doramon for some reason.

As far as we know, like a half of the existing Appmon's names (without taking God Appmon into account) are based on Japanese concepts (Yadomon, Resshamon), while almost the other half is based on English words (Dressmon, Hackmon), and there are just a few of them that are based in words from any other languages (like Dezipmon or Vegasmon). My point is that the Japanese ones that have made an appearance in the show so far, are at least properly spelled, while there are others from English origin like the ones I've mentioned, that not exactly. And considering that Bandai is very fond of Engrish sometimes, do we want to follow this way of naming strictly? In my opinion, we should wait till more potential products come out and later decide something, but anyways I'd love to hear your thoughts. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 10:38, 8 March 2017 (CST)
 * Is it really that much of an issue? It's a name for a fictional creature, I don't think it matters whether or not it is written correctly. Oh, and "ropure" is an actual slang abbreviation for "rōrupureingu" so it's probably not a mistake. ShikaSS (talk) 15:54, 8 March 2017 (CST)
 * I feel like it should be noted that Scorpmon could be a reference to the, a sniper weapon from the Roman Empire. Chimera-gui (talk) 16:46, 8 March 2017 (CST)
