Wikimon:Community Portal

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)

Digimon News is borked
It's too wide and throws off the entire page. At least in Chrome. --Koroku 17:29, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. --Ainz ( talk 17:36, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh Hell Yes
>:3 --devkyu 04:40, 3 April 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)

lol, wtf @ featured pic
rofl --Koroku 21:12, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I concur, it is glorious. --devkyu 15:19, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

New Page Error
I've noticed thus error recurring a lot in the past week. It seems to pop up when I'm creating a new page. When I go to submit the page, it sometimes takes a longer time to load than usual, and when it finishes, says there is an edit conflict. Editing the page then will result in the same message and being unable to edit it. The only way I have found to fix it is to delete the page, then immediately try and resubmit the original content. --devkyu 21:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I need to know what the error says. --Koroku 21:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll copy/paste the exact message as soon as it pops up again. --devkyu 22:02, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. If I can't fix it, I'll ask pawitp. --Koroku 22:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * First part of the error comes up like this, I haven't encountered the second part (the new page being uneditable) again yet:

"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@wikimon.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
 * Nothing we can do. MediaWiki is simply a big fucking resource hog. --Koroku 06:49, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Found it!

"The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found, named "Dark Master".

This is usually caused by following an outdated diff or history link to a page that has been deleted.

If this is not the case, you may have found a bug in the software. Please report this to an administrator, making note of the URL."
 * This is pretty much the message that shows up when you try and create a new page (usually after the 404 but not always) and it can't be edited usually, unless you delete the page first and resubmit it. When you try to edit it, it constantly comes up with the EDIT CONFLICT message.--devkyu 20:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

This may be due to cache errors... how long do you normally wait? Try giving it 15 minutes next time it happens. --Koroku 05:03, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Red Frame/Blue Frame Evolution Question
Since I currently don't have a rulebook for the digimon card game, for the X-Antibody digimon evolution requirements (more specifically the ones from the original card game), when it says the name of a digimon that has both a regular form and an X-Antibody form, do we regard that as meaning it can evolve from either? I would normally take it at face value that it requires the regular one unless otherwise stated, but came across other cards where the specific variation was called for (ex: Metal Greymon (Red Frame) or Metal Greymon (Blue Frame)).

Need to know so I don't incorrectly cite evolutions from cards on X-Antibody digimon pages. --devkyu 13:30, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Just thought you should all know. In case you didn't. --devkyu 02:39, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Zukan Scans
Okay, I've finally started uploading the Zukan scans. I've given up on cleaning them up and resizing them, so here they are "raw" essentially. They're about 4x7 inches at 300dpi, so I hope that's big enough for anyone to do what they want with them. If anyone needs a larger/clearer scan of a particular page, just ask. For now I'm just dumping them in this folder: Zukan goodness --devkyu 17:57, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Name Changes
Since we tend to do it everywhere else, I'm going to fix the names for all the digimon with double vowels, so Kyuukimon, Ryuudamon, etc will be fixed to Kykimon, Rydamon instead. It was already done for Shsamon a while back. --devkyu 00:02, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * To be honest, that's really unnecessary, the way how those names are romanized as well as names in other media is extremely common as macrons and circumflexes are usually omitted for the sake of simplification, so basically it's a "short-hand". --Ainz ( talk 17:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hrm, I see your point. At the time I figured changing them over was an easy way to reconcile the conflicts between some of the official romanizations and how the kata are actually pronounced. At this point "u" for page names is probably fine.--devkyu 07:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

New picture every month?
Or so? I think it'd be a fun little thing to do, and we could involve the community some more then. :) --Koroku 23:04, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I actually like that idea. It'll keep things a bit more lively looking. --devkyu 00:02, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree. --Ainz ( talk 17:22, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, we shall do it! We'll do a Valentine's one early next month, or so eh? :) --Koroku 06:14, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I want to draw the Valentines one! So many ideas >:3 --devkyu 07:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, but I say we also open it up to other artists in the fandom. --Koroku 07:40, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Stats
Soooo this should be interesting, eh? :P --Koroku 09:48, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently we average about 1,200 unique visitors a day, and about 15,000 pageviews a day... just the first few days of stats. @_@ --Koroku 06:15, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you friggin serious!? Here I was under the impression it was just us obsessive compulsive editors burning through the bandwidth. --devkyu 07:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I lied. It's only about 1,000 a day.
 * 21st - 1031 unique - 14,938 total
 * 22nd - 1042 unique - 15,180 total
 * 23rd (so far) - 1149 unique - 16,531 total

Check out Wikimon:Stats :) --Koroku 21:08, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Discussion page header
I have no clue how to do it, but can someone please add that blurb about threading comments to the header of each discussion page? I'm assuming it can be done. Thanks. --Koroku 21:00, 21 September 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)
 * Oh man, that slogan put a smile on my face when I first read it. And it's so true too. ^-^ --Maxanda 04:39, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

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)
 * If what I say matters, I say go for it :) Valued contributors should be given pretty colors too~ --Koroku 11:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
