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)
