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)

Horrendous Romanization?
Is it REALLY necessary to keep very poorly romanized names on a Digimon's page, despite it being "official" on the Dictionary? A prime example is Piccolomon. It is obvious he is not named after a cucumber soaked in brine, and sadly those working on Bandai's website aren't experts at the roman alphabet.

Wouldn't it just be better to keep most of the names correctly spelled according to common sense as opposed to Bandai's half-assed, "official" guessing of how the katakana would look with the roman alphabet?

Also, what is the point of removing all hyphens and spaces from Digimon names and making everything lowercase? I have been dealing with non-digital life for two months and would like an explanation.(Example: Aero V-dramon = Aerovdramon) --Devkyu 06:48, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Name Origins?
I've noticed that the name origins are being removed from alot of Digimon pages. What is the reason for this?--Daisuke Motomiya 17:14, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

They're just getting moved to the top of the page under Etymology as part of the updated Statistics format. Also the name origins for weapons and whatnot get put under Additional Information I believe. If someone is removing name origins without moving them first... then I have no clue what they're doing. -Devkyu 18:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Image uploading problem
There's a problem uploading images as well as resizing them, leaving the following message, unless it's to do with getting the new HDD for the server:

--Ainz

It's messing up the image in the featured article too on the main page. Is Wikimon really out of space?--Daisuke Motomiya 13:41, 27 June 2008 (CDT)

Has anyone gotten in contact with the people who run the server?--Daisuke Motomiya 18:11, 29 June 2008 (CDT)

I gave Wikimon 1 more GB of space... for now. --Pawitp 05:29, 30 June 2008 (CDT)

Thanks. Not to seem annoying, but what exactly does that mean out of curiosity? --Lightlowemon 06:09, 30 June 2008 (CDT)

Wikimon had reached the limit of how many images it was allowed to have on the server.--Daisuke Motomiya 08:27, 30 June 2008 (CDT)

Tabbed Navigation
I've found a way in which this could be incorporated into the wiki to make displaying some forms of information more dynamic, e.g. Digimon profiles as well as others. The only problem is how/where to add the script; I've been trying over the past few days and have failed.

Example of it in use

--Ainz 16:40, May 30 2008 (GMT)

Good news, finally got it to work:

 Finally Works! Just need to modify things a bit and experiment here and there!

--Ainz June 07 2008, 21:56 (GMT)

Example with a Digimon profile:

Ogudomon is a super demon lord with a grotesque appearance, having seven eyes and seven legs including an eighth eye. It is associated with all the Digital World's sins furthermore it has atoned for all these sins, very little is known about the mysterious power behind this embodiment, therefore even with the amount of Digimon to counterbalance it, there is no way it can be defeated. Its special technique is its desire to take charge (Cathedral) and plays "Oratio Grandioloqua" from its mouth, producing a shock wave of movement. In addition, with its huge legs it can use "Gradus" which pulverizes the opponent. オグドモンとは、七つの眼と七つの脚、そして第八の眼をもつ異形の超魔王である. デジタルワールドの全て罪を内包し、さらに全ての罪を贖罪する力もつ謎の化身体であり、故に、少しでも悪意のあるデジモンでは力を相殺され、倒すすべはない. 必殺技は、欲望のままに暴走する『オーラーティオ・グランディオロクア｛羅：狂詩曲｝』と、口部より奏でられる衝撃波動『カテドラール｛西：大聖堂｝』. また、巨大な脚で相手を粉砕する『グラドゥス｛羅：ステップ｝』をもつ.

Good job, it would be a great feature to implement into the pages. I found a problem with it though, whenever I look at it, it appears on the left hand side of the page above the TOC and then it changes back and forth between the left and right hand sides of the page. --Lightlowemon 21:18, 8 June 2008 (CDT)

If you're using Firefox, then I've managed to sort out that problem, however as a result of fixing it, the page layout has changed slightly, with the TOC being integrated into the template itself. Also, it apparently does work in Opera. --Ainz 01:46, June 10 2008 (GMT)

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

Now that the majority of Digimon pages are up, I'm really starting to think that the arbitrary spaces should go, judging by several complaints, particularly since the original Japanese influences the way in which format the names are spelt. This revised proposal, in combination with the recent interception of the referencing system will help bring Wikimon back to the top. --Ainz --10:54, May 24 2008 (GMT)

I'd be for it. There shouldn't be any spaces before the "mon" part of the name. We still should have redirects from the common spacing though.--Daisuke Motomiya 19:25, 27 May 2008 (CDT)

BTW, should any letters (aside from the first letter) before the "mon" be capatalized? Just wondering because right now it is WarGreymon instead of Wargreymon.--Daisuke Motomiya 12:58, 29 May 2008 (CDT)

I honestly don't see why people are complaining so much about spaces in the names. It's not like it's going to cause the apocalypse. If they're that obsessive compulsive about it, might as well have the names in all capital letters while you're at it, because Japanese don't have any upper/lowercase distinction. -Devkyu 14:30, 29 May 2008 (CDT)

References?
New user, but I have started filling in references, but I realized whilst doing this, what do I reference? I know natures, evolutions and attributes, anything else?. I also think that there should be at least one reference for each attack for verifiability and some way to seperate the references into two lists, like the notes up the top and the references in two columns below it. Anyone have anything else to add? --Lightlowemon 06:24, 30 April 2008 (CDT)

Technique names have also been an issue as well, so in addition they need to be referenced, including visual evidence through game screenshots, cards, etc where needed if necessary to support it. --Ainz --11:01, May 24 2008 (GMT)

Is Wikimon running out of space?
I've noticed that image policies are being more strictly enforced and templates are being more resource friendly. Is there a shortage of hard disk space or something?--Daisuke Motomiya 18:32, 24 April 2008 (CDT)

No, we have plenty of space. Not sure why Ainz is doing it. :/ --Koroku 18:44, 24 April 2008 (CDT)

If its about that large mass of deleted files, I was only conforming to the rules Devkyu created regarding images, nothing related to capacity. --Ainz 05:56, April 25 2008 (GMT)

Cards (revision)
Here the coding for Cards. I figure since With the Will already has the Card Database, it'd be repetitive to try and remake every single card page in existence... so maybe we shouldn't bother making links out of the card names -Devkyu 14:33, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Do they still have a card database? I believe they lost most of their stuff to the server crash. I can't find it at first glance from the main site so I think it died too.--Daisuke Motomiya 15:15, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

By the way, if Inputbox.php were installed into Wikimon it would allow us to make Card Pages faster. You could just punch in a cards name and it would load the template so all you have to do is punch in the data (after the template was created anyways).--Daisuke Motomiya 15:33, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

http://cards.wtw-x.net/ <--Perfectly fine. -Devkyu 15:36, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Okay, although they lack some of cards, especially option cards. There really isn't much way to organize them from that site at all. I actually liked the way we were doing it on Wikimon better. We had categories and sets and links from Digimon\Items. Although I know no one has time to remake all the links right now. --Daisuke Motomiya 15:58, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Wikimon has the space and the people to do cards... so why not do them? :) --Koroku 01:53, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

It's been almost a year and there has been very little progress with producing cards, with there being only very very few users doing it, would there still be much point in continuing, especially now WtW plans to include option cards, etc? --Ainz 15:34, 8 March 2008 (GMT)

I've actually noticed the amount of card pages being made increasing (at least from glances at the recent changes page). And even if it does take us longer then WtW to finish a card database ours would still have an advantage because it's on a wiki making it easier to search through. It's not like anything else we've got here got finished very quickly either.--Daisuke Motomiya 11:49, 8 March 2008 (CST)

Reference Tags
Is there any chance that the Reference tag extension coud be installed? --Ainz 00:49 February 17, 2008 Done --Pawitp 18:42, 25 February 2008 (CST)

DigiCode?
Do you think we should include a Digimon's name in DigiCode as well as in kana? I've been experimenting a bit and I've tried it out with Nanimon's Statistics box:

Thoughts? --Ainz 00:49 February 17, 2008

I don't see it written out in Digimon. All I see is the word Digicode. Do I have to install something special into my browser?--Daisuke Motomiya

Which browser are you using? --Ainz 16:55, 26 February 2008 (GMT)

Oh wait, I just forgot to press the show button. Nevermind.--Daisuke Motomiya 14:07, 27 February 2008 (CST)

Performance Tuning
Recent statistic shows that wikimon uses the most resource on the server. I've enabled main caching and disabled page view count in order to improve performance. --Pawitp 21:42, 9 January 2008 (CST)

ParserFunctions and ImageMap
Is there any chance that the ParserFunction and ImageMap extensions could be installed? With them, I can try and resolve some issues experienced with other web browsers, particularly for the category hotspots on the Main Page. --Ainz 5 January, 2008 17:40 (GMT)

Done --Pawitp 19:18, 5 January 2008 (CST)

Categories don't work
On the front page, on Opera, the category images don't link to the categories. Instead, they link to the images. You may want to fix it Ainz. :) --Koroku 18:43, 25 November 2007 (EST)

Fixed. --Ainz 6 January, 2008 04:28 (GMT)

Full Card List
When I try to load the page, the following message appears:
 * "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 582762 bytes) in /home/wikimon/public_html/includes/Parser.php on line 4329"

I think this is the only page in which this has happened to --Ainz 09:28, 2 January 2008 (CST)

Fixed. Is there anyway to optimize this? It's quite daunting to see Wikimon snatching ~57MB everytime someone edits that page. --Pawitp 08:13, 4 January 2008 (CST)

I'll separate the page into major sections/individual pages --Ainz 5 January, 2008 17:40 (GMT)

Broke it up into the original card game and Alpha. Not sure if the first page need further sectioning, though. --Devkyu 00:46, 30 January 2008 (CST)

Baby I
Can someone explained why Attribute that had Data remove from all of Baby I digimons even thought other site have Data for their Attribute. Omagaalpha 10:39, 1 January 2008 (CST)

Where is it stated that they're Data? On all the official sites their attributes are not stated --Ainz 16:41, 1 January 2008 (GMT)

Far as I know Bandai sites that don't shows digimon at all with attributes with them. So where information on net from Bandai. Because when search I could not find any such information. Omagaalpha 12:56, 1 January 2008 (CST)

Even on [www.digimon.channel.or.jp Digimon Web], in the Digimon Dictionary section, it clearly signifies that they don't have an attribute, or search the V-pets on the site, the same thing results - e.g. Mokumonunder attribute (属性) its says "nashi" (なし) which means without, --Ainz 13:15, 1 January 2008 (CST)

Ah thanks for information and site would never found it, thank for time explained why the changes. Omagaalpha 11:44, 3 January 2008 (CST)

Create Article
&amp;lt;createarticle&amp;gt;, where should that be fixed? --Pawitp 22:29, 29 December 2007 (CST)

"Upload the newest code (linked on extension page) and add the inputbox directory to the include code. e.g. change   to  ."  --Ainz 01:45, 2 January 2008 (GMT)

Done --Pawitp 08:10, 4 January 2008 (CST)

Upgrade?
Just wondering when Wikimon will be upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki? --Ainz 00:04, 29 December 2007 (GMT)

Done! :D --Koroku 20:27, 29 December 2007 (CST)

It apparently have a bug >.> --Pawitp 21:17, 29 December 2007 (CST)

Wikimon logo not appearing
Just noticed that the logo doesn't appear, other than that everything else is working fine --Ainz 17:35, 21 December 2007 (GMT)

Fixed --Pawitp 22:31, 24 December 2007 (CST)

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

Like this?:

--Ainz 19:31, November 27, 2007 (GMT)

Friggin awesome. --Devkyu 19:13, 28 November 2007 (EST)

Rounded Edges


Ooh, very nice! Make it so! --Devkyu 19:13, 28 November 2007 (EST)

Rampant Spamming
It seems no matter how many IPs I ban, it seems the same person/people keep spamming just about everything. I'm thinking about asking Koroku to make it account-only to edit anything if this keeps up. --Devkyu 15:02, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

Done. --Koroku 01:21, 15 November 2007 (EST)

Bold text for Digimon
Wasn't it for evolutions seen in the anime or manga that were supposed to be in bold? Ainz 20:08, 8 September 2007 (GMT)--

Yes, essentially "story" characters. Some game evolutions apply, as long as it is a main character. An example would be the Pagumon from Digimon Story. Also, some evolutions mentioned in a digimon's profile would count also, such as Phantomon's from Bakemon. Although it wasn't seen in the anime or manga, one of his profiles (I forget which) states it evolved from an extremely powerful Bakemon. --Devkyu 16:37, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

ADDED: Also, evolutions should STAY in alphabetical order. That means bolded evolutions to NOT get moved to the top of the list. --Devkyu 22:48, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

Inconsistency
User 76.179.50.96 persistently fails to comply with the rules, creating pages not only neglecting the first rule and making it difficult for them to keep in format, but they contain poor one sentence lines. --Ainz October 22, 2007 08:34 (GMT)

Temporary ban. Problem solved. --Devkyu 11:42, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

Digimon Weapons/Armory
Should all weapons be listed on one page rather than on individual pages, seems pointless making pages a sentence long? --Ainz September 29, 2007 23:26 (GMT)

Yeah, one page definitely seemed like a better idea. --Devkyu 19:41, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

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

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

A pity..Thanks for the clarification though.

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

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

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

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

Bumperz --Koroku 01:26, 15 July 2007 (EDT)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Featured
Do you guys want me to do update the featured article like I used to or do you have someone else on that now? --Daisuke Motomiya 15:05, 29 June 2007 (EDT)

--Yeah, I think you should still do it, I was only just getting it back into circulation. Do you want me to change the template to the way it was on the old wikimon? --Ainz 21:01, 29 June 2007 (GMT)

--Okay I just got around to checking it out and I beleive the new one is better. I'll start updating it every Friday if I can.--Daisuke Motomiya 11:21, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Digimon Page Names
I noticed a bit of inconsistency in the page names. For some digimon that have the same name that are of different levels, MOST are NAME LEVEL, but some are NAME (LEVEL). Would it be alright if I changed all digimon with the level change in parenthesis to just NAME LEVEL, and any other differences, such as attribute (like Kyuubimon (Vaccine)), etc, just stay in parenthesis? --Devkyu 21:25, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, definitely --Ainz 06:41, 21 June 2007 (GMT)

Main Page, Help, and Categories
Does anyone have or remember the coding we used for the front page, like to display the categories, news and such?

Also, working on actually USING the Help page on the sidebar now... what should go in the help section?
 * Formatting
 * Rules
 * Japanese (quick explanation of kana, maybe a chart)
 * Finding Articles

And what should pages such as Rules and News be categorized under? I figured "Management" might work, so everything is easy to find, or should it be called something else? -Devkyu 23:31, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

I'm all set on producing a katakana chart --Ainz 14:19, 8 June 2007 (GMT)

I've reproduced about 80% of what the old page used to look like, the only thing missing is the categories (and that Digimon Story pic) -- Ainz 19:57, 9 June 2007

Awesome! I found the Digimon Story pic and threw up a "placeholder" for the categories, or at least what I remember of them. Maybe Games and Toys could be split into multiple categories... -Devkyu 15:47, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

Hey, im quite new to wikimon, but i just want to know how to put digimon pictures onto pages? (Sorry that was me just now i just forgot to login!)

Unknown
Just so there isn't a huge mess like the last time for articles and categories concerning this... -Devkyu 14:33, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

-Family: Unknown -Type: Unknown Type -Attribute: Unknown Attribute

Cards
Here the coding for Cards. I figure since With the Will already has the Card Database, it'd be repetitive to try and remake every single card page in existence... so maybe we shouldn't bother making links out of the card names -Devkyu 14:33, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Do they still have a card database? I believe they lost most of their stuff to the server crash. I can't find it at first glance from the main site so I think it died too.--Daisuke Motomiya 15:15, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

By the way, if Inputbox.php were installed into Wikimon it would allow us to make Card Pages faster. You could just punch in a cards name and it would load the template so all you have to do is punch in the data (after the template was created anyways).--Daisuke Motomiya 15:33, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

http://cards.wtw-x.net/ <--Perfectly fine. -Devkyu 15:36, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Okay, although they lack some of cards, especially option cards. There really isn't much way to organize them from that site at all. I actually liked the way we were doing it on Wikimon better. We had categories and sets and links from Digimon\Items. Although I know no one has time to remake all the links right now. --Daisuke Motomiya 15:58, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Wikimon has the space and the people to do cards... so why not do them? :) --Koroku 01:53, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Card Set pages
Okay, I mostly finished with the Hyper Colosseum Full Card List, only thing to do is fill in the info for them. I was wondering, for the Set pages, if we could add a small table at the top, which could include: Set Name, # of cards, Link to the Previous Set and Link to Next Set. --Devkyu 22:38, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

Card Maker partly working
Check out Template:Card Maker. It should make setting up card pages much easier. So far only Hyper Colosseum Digimon Cards work though. It uses Template:HCDigimonCard and Template:HCDigimonCardTable to create them.

If no one beats me to it I will set up Hyper Colosseum option card page soon (likely tomorrow). Does anyone know what information goes onto the Alpha Evolve ones (both Digimon and Options)? --Daisuke Motomiya 16:47, 18 June 2007 (EDT)

Is it true that there is a "Red Frame" and "Blue Frame" concept in the TCG? If so, is it in Hyper Colosseum, Alpha Evolve or both?--24.172.194.4 16:52, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Okay I created the templates for HC Options and AE Digimon and Options. Does anyone see any flaws with it?--Daisuke Motomiya 11:30, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Current Events
As the fandom is kinda dead at the moment, and it never really was up to date on the old Wikimon... should we just get rid of it? It really doesn't serve any use... and considering it's still blank now, weeks after Wikimon has restarted... Gimme thoughts? --Koroku 15:07, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

I think it should definitely be removed, after all the news section on the main page has pretty much made it redundant. --Ainz 20:15, 20 June 2007 (GMT)

Template:Episode
Does someone want to make one up? With the cool boxes thing that we have going on, I think an episode one would be well worth our time. --Koroku 15:04, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

I'll get to work on making one -- Ainz 20:06, 20 June 2007 (GMT)

Hmm... looks good. We may want to link to the page name formatting page somewhere on Create Article --Koroku 15:15, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Where is the page name formatting?--Daisuke Motomiya 15:22, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Dose that refer to format articles on the help page? -- Ainz 20:26, 20 June 2007 (GMT)

here --Koroku 15:33, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

I changed it. Is that what you meant?--Daisuke Motomiya 15:41, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Indeed! Bravo~ --Koroku 16:00, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Links to the subsites
Is they anyway of having quicker short cuts to the subsites, especially with the main page and forum doing so (rather than on the DATs.us article) for extra infrastructural consistency, or will that come later on in time? -- Ainz 14:41, 20 June 2007

Can't you just use external links to the subsite's URL?--Daisuke Motomiya 14:05, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

You mean adding links to the various parts here on Wikimon? Like in the sidebar? I hadn't been planning on doing it, but I suppose I could do it. Just need to look around and see if I can find where to edit such things. --Koroku 14:45, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Done --Koroku 15:35, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Nice! --Ainz 20:37, 20 June 2007 (GMT)

Template featured returns
I've managed to reproduce somethnig very similar to the old past template, using V-mon as a test. On how it works -

--Ainz 18:56, 9 June 2007 (GMT)

Attacks and Categories
Can whoever made the last table for attack techniques on the old Wikimon post it here? Then, well need someone who can do alot of repetitive edits to apply it to the pages being generated. Also, pages need categories. Although lets be sure to avoid that problem with "unknown" statistics that happened last time. I'm going to try and start on creating redirects for different segmentations of Digimon names.--Daisuke Motomiya 10:51, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Is that referring to the the table with the attacks in them like this?:

--Ainz 16:02, 6 June 2007 (GMT)

Yeah that's it.--Daisuke Motomiya 11:03, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

Userpages
Oh, by the way, I remember on the previous Wikimon someone mentioned that people never posted on their user page... so I am defiling all your User Pages until you decide what you want to do with them to make them pretty in your own ways. -Devkyu 01:19, 7 June 2007 (EDT)

Thanks alot....--Daisuke Motomiya 12:21, 7 June 2007 (EDT)

Problems
- Currently, I get an error with thumbnails. -Devkyu 02:36, 6 June 2007 (EDT) Example: http://wiki.dats.us/index.php/Image:Velgmon.jpg

Fixed it for you. Sorry, it was a stupid mistake on my part. --Koroku 15:07, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

What Happened?
Hey, i have a question, what happened to the orginal Wikimon? --Eldarone 00:32, 6 June 2007 (EDT)

The server that it was on took a vacation and has no intention of ever coming back. It was formatted and all data was lost. --Koroku 00:34, 6 June 2007 (EDT)
