Can you leave it as UlforceVeedramon Future Mode? I can send you the associated scan, but, in UlforceVeedramon Future Mode's appearance, the kanji says 超究極体 for Super Ultimate, but the associated furigana is フューチャーモード for Future Mode, so I believe it should be left as UlforceVeedramon Future Mode.

 * The proof can be found here: [[Image:UlforceVeedramon_Future_Mode_Apperance.jpg|100px]]. It probably should be deleted after that; I didn't know how else to get it to you.  Also, I'd love to help you.  It'd be great to help out, and maybe I could ask questions about standard formatting for pages. Lanate 04:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Standardization
Ooh, I have some questions about maybe creating a standard between the two of us as we do updates so that we don't accidently cross wires and blow up the site. I feel like I've maybe been cutting out some of your edits... So, yeah. My first question: Do we double cite? I know for the Gaogamon page you double cited for Data Squad and Next. I understand the reasoning for that, but isn't one simply enough? I thought the purpose of the citing is to give proof of the data; while two can be better, it's also bulkier. Wouldn't one suffice? Also, for the lists when you put the partner, I was putting full names there whenever possible, but I see that you're only putting first. Is there a reason for that? Should I only put first names? I have a personal preference for putting the entire name whenever possible. Lanate 05:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with most of what you said. I actually prefer, however, using   over using commas, because I felt that commas looked ugly as the amount of evolutions increased (with V-mon as an example.  I would rather dislike putting all of his evolutions with commas).  I also use   when dealing with parentheses, for the same reasons.  I was going to experiment with using an asterisk with the  , to create a more list-y feel.


 * I was staring at the Next figures, but I couldn't recognize any of them. I'm sorry.  What I do agree with, however, is 22-21a being Elecmon.  By the way, have you played any of the Wonderswan games?  I'm playing through them right now and noting what digimon I see.  I think it'll take me a couple months, but I feel I can add a wealth of updates to those... in term of appearances, if not actual storyline.  XD  Should I mention that I don't know any Japanese?


 * Oh, that reminds me. For appearances, I was limiting myself to listing only anime and manga (because I felt the video games was too much), but only for those with roles which exceed more than, say, a five-second cameo appearance.  Would you agree to that?


 * I have a feeling that we (mainly you at this point) will be able to whip this place into shape. :)  Lanate 02:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Some comments.


 * 2: Japanese and English differences in infoboxes are separated with (Ja:) and (En:), with commas between the criteria (such as voice actors) in one section, and  between Ja and En. Ja is listed first, as it came first. Voice Actors, for example, are listed under language, then with the season in parentheses.  <-- I noticed that a lot of Voice Actors have deceased next to their names.  Is that necessary?  A link to their bio is enough to find alive/dead status.  Adding deceased takes up more room and makes the info box cluttered.


 * 5: Human characters are named by their full names, with their nickname in quotations between given and sur names. T.K. and J.P. should not have spaces between their initials. <-- The space annoys me. I can pull up two screen shots which have T.K. without a space if you need proof.  Full names in English, however, don't include Japanese names except in rare instances.  For all of Digimon Adventure, the eight Digidestined had their Japanese names as their true names, with their dubbed names as nicknames.  However, we can't assume the same for the rest of the seasons.  Thus, I'd like to defer to the first rule in determining what defines a full name.  Takeru "T.K." Takaishi is T.K.'s full name, due to visual proof, but Junpei "J.P." Shibayama can't be proved (unless a screenshot or other official material can be obtained) and his character page should be titled J.P. Shibayama unless said information can be found.


 * 7: General MOS: No space between the "==" and the text of a header, but space before the "|" of an infobox, and after the "*" of a list. Single space after a period, and no extra spacing in the entries of an infobox. <-- This is me lamenting my apparent archaicness, because I still use two spaces after a period/exclamation point/question mark, as is required on manuscripts.


 * 13: We should try to use the white-background toie images where possible, and then card or bandai images (unedited). I don't know if we should encourage fan-recolors, when it's cleaner and better-looking to just show the card. <-- There's a trend to use Digital Empire's stuff. Can we stop that?  It's just bad form, and I know they do recolors.  Also, based on a discussion with Ned Scott, I hold a stance that no recolor should be used.


 * I want to modify some of the current infobox rules. Currently, the parameter "appears" has the description "any anime/manga/game in which this digimon character appears in", but I honestly believe that that will exponentially increase the size of the infobox, especially the video game addendum.  Would it be better to limit it to relevant appearances?  I don't mind mentioning cameos until the profile, but I believe the "appears" parameter should only include those appearances which are more than "he appears in a crowd" types.  The parameter "to" currently disallows video game digivolutions; there should be a distinction between storyline evolutions (Machinedramon devolving into SkullGreymon in Digimon World DS) and gameplay evolutions (Agumon turning into Belphemon in Digimon World Data Squad).  We could hash out what's considered gameplay and what's considered storyline another time.  I also want to disavow most, if not all, TCG evolutions except pictoral depictions (such as Win Ratio), because I consider most of them gameplay.  I know there may be exceptions, so I want to hold off a bit.  A huge part of me also wishes to insert CD drama evolutions into the list pages canon evolutions, if not those of the characters themselves.


 * Oh, one quick question. Is The Golden Digimentals canon or not?  There's conflicting reports (Seraphimon/Magnadramon appear on Patamon/Gatomon pages, but the List of Chosen Digimon calls them non-canon.  A decision needs to be made.


 * I do recommend sending this to all of the major editors for input. St06.mzapanta, Digi9346, and, of course, Ned Scott should all be included.  Lanate 05:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
