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This is usually caused by following an outdated diff or history link to a page that has been deleted.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

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

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)

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)

Not sure if it's news, but front page is too wide again. --Koroku 05:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It is still appearing too wide? --Ainz ( talk 12:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep... --Koroku 15:03, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you give me a screenshot? I'm not sure what's causing it to be wide.--Ainz ( talk 15:13, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems to be fixed. Maybe I just loaded it from cache. Sorry~ --Koroku 15:24, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Cutemon
It has the most AGGRAVATING voice I have ever heard in Digimon thus far. I want to smother it. Somebody please kill it with fire. That is all. --devkyu 19:17, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I found his voice irritating, they could have done way better than that.--Ainz ( talk 19:24, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I was honestly expecting Tada Aoi to voice him but... I guess that was too much to ask for. --devkyu 19:45, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a HE? Wow, I assumed it was a girl. --Pixel 04:05, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Cutemon uses the male personal pronoun "boku" when he introduces himself to Akari.--Ainz ( talk 04:14, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, I had no idea. I really should learn Japanese, I'm tired of being left behind with Digimon. ;) --Pixel 04:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone! lol. Can anyone put something decorative on the main page for Christmas?--Daisuke Motomiya 11:13, 25 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'm sure I can whip something up. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!! I'll try and get something done before I go sledding tomorrow. --devkyu 11:24, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Okay, it's a bit late, but it's up! I have a much larger and elaborate version of it... but then I realized the tiny space it had to fit into and decided to settle with just Dracomon. I'll post the finished one as a wallpaper later if anyone wants it. Now time to go play in the.... rain >.>--devkyu 03:57, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

More Spambots
Okay, despite the ReCAPTCHA thing staving them off for a while, the spambots are back. Do we have email verification for sign-ups? If we don't, I suggest it be implemented. Might discourage them a bit more. --devkyu 17:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure e-mail verification is set up. :\ --Koroku 18:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Changing colors?
...the top of the main page was green earlier today. Does it change periodically or what? o.o --Koroku 02:54, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, based on assigning a particular day a number in . On Sat it will be indigo, Sun - purple, Mon - the original color scheme (black/grey), Tues - red, Wed - orange. --Ainz ( talk 03:10, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nifty. --Koroku 11:21, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Updated logo
The logo has been updated. As soon as cache empties out, it should appear. --Koroku 17:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Is anyone seeing it yet? >o< --Koroku 02:49, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, it seems to be appearing for me now. --Koroku 11:21, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

User Sign-ups
There has been a constant influx of nothing but spambots for quite a while, as far as user signups go. Does anyone know if it's possible to add some sort of human verification to the registration page? If not, I'm suggesting (at least for now) to close new user registrations. The spambots are getting more and more annoying, and the programming they're adding to some pages is making it impossible to delete them and giving me errors when I attempt to. --devkyu 16:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Just add "&action=delete" to the end of the URL to delete, or "&action=edit" if they changed the page. --Koroku 17:20, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * We now have a reCAPTCHA on the wiki now. --ARedMoon 17:44, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That was me, by the way. :) Extensions on MediaWiki are too confusing. x.x --Koroku 17:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You are officially awesome. --devkyu 01:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I am way too lazy though, I should have done it long ago. --Koroku 02:49, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Digimon Channel is back!
Good news! Not only is Digimon Channel back to it's old adress http://www.digimon.channel.or.jp/ but Digimon,net is also now accesable without having to use Proxy Site! http://digimon.net --MugenSeiRyuu 10:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Edit: Looks like not all links on the Digimon Channel Adress work ( Dictionary works however ), but they do on the Digimon.net adress. Also they seem to have removed some dead links, like the one for the Digimon Cardass Website. --MugenSeiRyuu 13:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Regarding Agumon Black and YukiAgumon
Given that both have variations based on the Body Design of Agumon (2006 Anime Version ), would that make those two two more variations of Agumon? --MugenSeiRyuu 23:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I think they might be more along the lines of Kudamon, where it's a visual remodel, but the skills and techniques are still the same. I suggest we add images of the body designs next to the originals, like how it is on the Kudamon page. --devkyu 03:23, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I checked their cards again,just to make this one sure: They are not along the lines of Kudamon, because like the Savers Agumon, they are Dinosaur Types, as opposed to Reptile Types. Sure, some Digimon are classifid into more than one type, but changing their Type AND their Design?--MugenSeiRyuu 09:14, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Ophanim and Throne
Aren't those two the same? Because Ofanimon is listed as the former, while her Core Version is listed as the latter. Also the Type Page names it the former aswell. Just asking before I mode something.--MugenSeiRyuu 22:32, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks--MugenSeiRyuu 23:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Some Improvements
Just a couple of things I've noticed, firstly can we instead of listing every single time an evolution is shown in the media, just list one, so for on pages like Agumon we don't have hundreds of references to get to Greymon? Secondly, the Debut screen is a touch too big and ends up stretching the page, as shown here. and finally when Pawitp changed the skin colours, you now can't read changes that happened on the default skin for example ? Just asking/pointing out. --Lightlowemon 03:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

For the evolutions, I would prefer to keep them as-is, as the problem of a mass of references only pops up for certain very popular digimon, like Agumon and Gabumon. You can never really have too much information. As for the Debut screen, it gives me the same problem on my current resolution, but looks fine on any widescreen format, I've noticed.--devkyu 04:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll see If I can change the debut screen size and the changes background color. As for the reference thing, I think it's really tedious putting up every single instance of evolution. --Ainz ( talk 08:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Ainz, concerning the evolutions, I agree Ainz,it is tedious, and considering we have to change them all anyway to fit the new referencing system, I figure, less work to do, easier time doing it. --Lightlowemon 03:34, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Well for main Digimon's evolutions we could just link to their character page (like how Zudomon links to Gomamon (Adventure)).--Daisuke Motomiya 19:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Regarding the new color change, is anyone finding it difficult to see the text (particularly the red text)? --Ainz ( talk 05:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Zukan Scans
Now that my internet is back up, I can start posting the Digimon Zukan scans. Right now, the files I have in my online gallery are at 100dpi, but I have the originals at a much larger size, so if anyone wants any particular pages at the highest resolution, be sure to tell me. Once I get everyone scanned, cleaned and uploaded, I will be putting the original size in a zip file. Right now I only have a few pages up, but I'll keep adding more every chance I get. Trying to scan the pages in without actually unbinding the book takes a bit more time.

Here's the link--devkyu 20:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what is Digimon Zukan? Is it a manga?Daisuke Motomiya 20:03, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, it usually has some little manga stuff in it, but for the most part it's essentially a glorified V-pet guide with pictures, profiles, and other neat little things in it. --devkyu 20:21, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Biographical Information
The templates for the Biographical Information has white text over yellow rows which makes it almost unreadable. We should probably change the text to black.--Daisuke Motomiya 08:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed. --Ainz ( talk 08:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I still couldn't see it. I modified the colors for the Biographical Information on the Motomiya Daisuke page so I could see it.  Do you think it would be good on all the character pages or should other colors be used?--Daisuke Motomiya 09:21, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Those colors work well and are much easier to see. --devkyu 08:05, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Updated all of the anime ones. I also updated the template so the new colors will be automatic when new character pages are made.--Daisuke Motomiya 09:26, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Digimon or Not?
I've got this figure that I've had for a while now, and I thought it was a Digimon. I thought I saw a picture of it once, but it's possible that I'm just imagining that.

Here's a picture of it: 

If that isn't clear enough, it's a green monster with a yellow face and a brown band on its forehead. It has pink, elongated spikes on its back, and it seems to be holding some sort of red sphere.

Is this a Digimon? If so, what one? --Atreyumon 05:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Nah, definitely not a Digimon. --Ainz ( talk 05:46, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Image Edits
Quick question. For the card cut-outs I've been working on, would it be best if they were all downsized and kept at 320x320 like the Digimon Dictionary standard, or should I just keep them at their usually-larger sizes?

Also, on another note, I got the Digimon Zukan in and am in the middle of scanning most of the book. I should have scans up within a week or so. --devkyu 05:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I personally like the larger sizes. The card page template will resize them as needed (and they will have higher quality). and users can click on the card image to see the the full size.--Daisuke Motomiya 00:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, the larger images are better I find.--Lightlowemon 02:02, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Card List Table, Attack Technique Table, etc.
I'm not too sure if this was addressed earlier, but it seems that the font color or something of the sort makes some of the Attack Technique tables a bit difficult to read. On that note, the 'Full Card List' is also difficult to make out with the default wiki skin. I suppose my question is, are we slowly changing these tables to be more visible, or is there a certain 'skin' that the wiki should be viewed under to be able to see the info without having to highlight it? --Tsum 03:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Originally the default color for text in tables, but this interfered with other things preventing them from being visible so pawitp fixed this, so that's the reason why they're difficult to read. I'll add the "color:black" to each table style. --Ainz ( talk 04:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Spam Accounts
Over the past few days, there seems to be an increase of spam accounts that seem to be in a similar format, for example "Blytheflynchj" and "Everettznealn‎", do you think we should add something to reduce this, e.g. CAPTCHA and/or email confirmation when registering? --Ainz ( talk 00:59, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't you already have to do a confirmation e-mail thing to be able to use your account? --Lightlowemon 01:20, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Currently, the e-mail part is optional so its not required in activating an account. --Ainz ( talk 01:34, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, activate e-mail confirmation then. --devkyu 01:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Another alternative to test would be the extensions SpamBlacklist, Title_Blacklist and ReCaptcha, I'm thinking now that they possibly might be able to bypass e-mail confirmation, but nonetheless.... --Ainz ( talk 22:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * At this point, I don't care what method is used, because I swear if I see one more red User Creation Log entry after every three edits, I am going to destroy Shibuya. --devkyu 14:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem is that pawitp has been extremely busy lately so if I were to ask him to install any/whichever of those extensions, it won't happen until some time in thew late future, unless I ask Koroku, but I have a feeling I might be unsuccessful in doing so. --Ainz ( talk 14:57, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So what do we do? Anyway we can block the ip? Or are they changing it every time? Do we block the accounts? --Lightlowemon 05:46, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As an experiment, I'll try blocking one of them and adding an IP ban to see if that works. --devkyu 21:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll assume it didn't work then. So what else can we do? --Lightlowemon 02:06, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey. If you link me to the extensions you need, or any config changes you want, I'll try to do them. I'm really dumb when it comes to Wiki, but I can try. :S --Koroku 02:16, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

New Reference Templates
I've created a reference template named " " which should make card references easier to input, so instead of typing, simply type  , for Card Game Alpha typing in Da or SPa will automatically produce Dα and SPα respectively. For example: gives,  gives. I'm going to work on a similar template for games and anime episodes/movies. --Ainz 14:34, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

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)

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)
