Wanted
The kingdom hearts wiki has an "Improvement Drive" bit on their main page, and at one point I started a "Pages we need/pages that need improvement" bit, but that fell by the wayside because I forgot about it. If you're looking for something to do, getting that page working (I think it's linked from the main talk page), and setting up the weekly drive box (just copy the code from kingdom hearts wiki) would be really great. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  01:28, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The list might, though there would also be stuff like the Fan contest, which is mentioned nowhere on this wiki but is important to many Digimon's development, Miko before we gave her an article, or the people behind the franchise, which go offsite for right now.
 * Personally, I'd like us to make articles about the people behind the series, because there's really no coverage anywhere, besides McFeely's interviews with some of them. I'd like to model them off of tfwiki's people articles, (ex. [tfwiki.net/wiki/Tara Strong]).
 * But basically, the wanted page shouldn't focus on all stubs, but major parts of the mythos which are being ignored - for the longest time, the Fields and DigiMemories didn't have any info, and now we have a full article chock full of stuff. That's the kind of thing I'm thinking of for this.
 * For the improvement drive, though - we need stuff like asking people to contribute to the episode guides. I was going to be working on it when my brother was watching the seasons for the first time, but I ran out of time then, and he lost interest. Then there's Data Squad, which I just have no desire to rewatch after seeing the subbed version. If we could put up some kind of notice on the Front Page saying "This episode article needs your love!", we would be golden. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  01:39, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

A little help with the new articles
I'm working on the Relationships articles - Adventure/02 is giving me hell, Frontier is going all right, Savers was done in less than ten minutes.

I'm having the worst time with Tamers.

I still haven't seen the whole thing in detail, and there are so many Tamers that it's difficult to pinpoint all the relationships. Especially between, say, Kenta and Shaochong. Help please? Only dead fish go with the flow. 02:02, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Is there a list for all DNA digivolution combinations? RyuHimora 15:38, December 22, 2009 (UTC) RyuHimora

02 recaps
Not saying anything about your own video making skills, I think it would probably be best to wait for the Japanese subbed recaps. And if they never turn up, I've just started learning Japanese, so I might be able to do the translation myself (just give me a few weeks... minimum). In the end, as I've mentioned before, the recaps are more of a nice add-on, so it's not a disaster if we can't get them. THB  → Talk ← 21:44, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

News box
Okay, I've made the news box. My only concern is that Digimon-related news rarely comes around nowadays. What sort of news are we going to write about? THB  → Talk ← 21:35, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for your help in explaining me the basic points of an anime episode summary.

Re: CAD/Art
That's fine with me. Just don't forget to link the names to Wikipedia (rather than just Digimon Wiki). I'll soon be moving on from DA to DA02 articles, in terms of major improvements, so don't worry if you don't manage to get through all of them. Oh, and I have been using the same source as you, but only after you posted it on the main talk page. Thanks for that. THB  → Talk ← 21:26, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Adventure
Thanks for the great source of trivia! I'll update the Adventure articles right now, and I'll be sure to refer to it for other seasons too. THB  → Talk ← 18:09, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

More Takari
I appreciate your input and you are correct the subtitles do not say that at all. I however do not need to watch the Japanese episodes with subtitles to understand them. I will not re-post what I did because that seemed to offend you, but please know it is there just in the background dialect, something that subtitles typically do not put on the screen.

...I'd prefer to link TVtropes. Only dead fish go with the flow. 06:50, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am doing it right now. I'm not unlocking the pages yet, because I don't want fangirls to go on the page and restore them. Linking to TVtropes is fine. Only dead fish go with the flow. 06:55, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, the reason for wiping out the info is almost all of it is just either romance analysis or minor specific incidents with no relevance - exactly what we tried to avoid. Absolutely nothing was saved from my computer (RIP my schoolwork) so I quickly rewrote the Tai article just to give an example. The other articles will be blank.

Hey Hey Stop!
Do you think that you can edit my own pages???, it´s my buisness to correct my own pages, so correct your own pages ok!?.

MonzaemonDW3
 * Um, actually there are very few pages that you can consider your own on this wiki, which pretty much amount to User pages. If Rad's got improvements for pages, that's fine, unless he's going against some page standard you're trying to create, at which point we need rational discussion. Remember, this wiki's a community effort, and though there are sections we carve out as our own, we can always help each other.  Lanate (talk) 22:50, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Mmm i am sorry :S
I am Sorry that i say that, thanks for adding info, but i don´t like poeple that say: "This Page needs more grammar, as Lanate said on one of the pages i "made".

I´m Sorry Sir :S. MonzaemonDW3

I Have an Idea...
Well, hello, i am the guy who "fight" with you, but i am sorry :S, well do you like Digimon World 3?, well i am making some pages. Total Pages: 8, but i am creating pages of cities (e.g: Seiryu, Suzaku, etc). If YOU want to correct them (grammar, add info, etc) just do it!.

Episode article template
I've been rethinking the idea, and just finished designing a template for whole episode articles (here). Since you recommended it, I'd be interested to know what you think, especially in terms of ease of use? THB  → Talk ← 02:53, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Digimon Battle
I've never really been a fan of MMORPGs either. The only reason I looked into this one was because it was all about Digimon. If you want to know about gameplay, you can take a look at our own article on the subject. Basically, you walk through different sections of a world map, battling wild Digimon and levelling up (resulting in digivolution). You can also catch other Digimon and make them your partner. Like a typical MMORPG, you can battle with other people, and you can form parties with random people, meaning you work together in battle. As you complete missions or level up, you're allowed to move onto the next region. Sorry, I'm going on a bit. Personally, I'm enjoying it. The only thing I really don't like is having to walk long distances to get to a certain place. THB  → Talk ← 21:25, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Digimon Story sprites
I haven't been able to get any info back on the walking sprites, but we can still be uploading the gallery sprites, since we had permission for those.

Would you be willing to upload the Digimon Story animated gallery sprites from the WTW forum on it, and make sure they display here? I'll be doing it when I can, but I have to do a lot of things right now as well. Glorious  CHAOS!  10:58, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Fanfiction Wiki
It seems pretty abandoned, however here is the link http://digimonchronicles.wikia.com/wiki/Digimon_Fanfic_Wiki

News section
You mentioned a while ago that you'd be willing to take care of this. If I set it up, would you be able to take over and start adding news? I was thinking that the box on the main page (here) would just give brief summaries of news taken from a main news page (here), where anyone could add news. A lot of wikis also give names to their news sections, so it might be worth looking into that at a later point. So what do you think? THB  → Talk ← 18:09, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good. I'm glad that page is finally active. The list of sources is a good idea too - never thought of that. There are still odd details that need sorting out, though that can just be a gradual process. So are you happy with the idea of other users adding content? At the very least, I think the page should be locked so only registered users can edit. Any other thoughts? You're basically responsible for the section now, so it's really up to you.

Regarding shipping
I wholeheartedly agree with you and I plan to do all those major edit-type-stuff when school ends for me. Only dead fish go with the flow. 19:08, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Article clean-up box
Y'know, it didn't occur to me how important that episode article is. I'll just put that up for now then.

Re: Episode recaps
Thanks for the update. By the way, I don't know if you've noticed, but someone else seems to have uploaded videos for the first few Tamers episodes.

My page
Yeah dude.Your right.I changed it.

Regarding the character pages
I can't bring back those pages, sadly, for these reasons:
 * The latest edits to the Relationships page signify that someone has been going through the article history of the old couplings pages, so they're not quite gone forever.
 * Leaving the old pages up, edit-restricted or not, signifies that we still consider those relationship pages in good form and up to this wiki's standards - which is not true.
 * There are people out there who value "couplings" and their shippings over relationship analysis, and will thus ignore the new section completely if we keep the old section up.
 * The old pages are disorganized, with inferior quality and overanalysis, conclusion-jumping, and marking of every little tiny detail of interaction between two characters, which inspires a lot of rabid fan-gasms. (That last statement was subjective, I admit, but let's face it, it's true.)
 * Yes, the new pages are not as developed. That is because we haven't had enough people cooperating on those pages - I'm only putting in very basic things because I'm trying to make up for my computer crash loss. Why do you think it took me several months for me to work on it before I realized I was screwing up when I lost all my data?
 * It's a source for fanfiction writers. That's the problem. There are people who take everything this wiki says as law and as long as there's a page out there for some coupling no matter how vague it is they will use it as a reference for their "evidence". People will start shipping wars quoting Digimon Wiki, and it would be best for us to remain a neutral source of possible analysis.
 * Favoritism - since we didn't obviously include every single pairing possible, people will think that we're being biased towards certain ships and will create their own pages to counter. (The Couplings list was still rapidly expanding when it was still up.)
 * There are already people thinking that the Relationships pages are playgrounds for their shipping input, despite that template I put saying the articles are not for shipping. Leaving the Couplings pages up implies that we are moving the pages, not revamping them completely.

Of course I'm willing to continue discussion on the topic in the case that there is a desperate need to bring the pages back. Only dead fish go with the flow. 23:51, June 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm, well, one of the reasons we did the porting in the first place was that the Coupling pages tended to point out every single minor detail in the series regarding interaction, which of course were not always significant. If Mimi asks Matt for a pencil in one episode, that would be put on their coupling page. And of course, that's not quite something Digimon Wiki supports - rabid shipping. The relationships pages are meant to include not just romantic ships, but relationships - how one character sees another, how they interact, and how they view each other's beliefs. There was a really nice psychological analysis of all of the characters from Adventure to Tamers floating around (besides the fact it was written by a blatant Takeru x Hikari shipper and it started a nasty uncited rumor about two pairings being originally considered for submission), so I'm looking for something in that vein. Also, this summer, I'mma try and get the Fan:Taichi "Tai" Kamiya article to completion, since it's the closest to done. Only dead fish go with the flow. 18:48, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

 * Once it's completely done, the maintenance bits will be removed and the thing will be moved to a subpage of the Dawn Dusk articles, along with the Eggs, Equipment, Abilities, and Traits sections. It will need to be protected, though, since there really isn't anything an anon could add to it. Glorious  CHAOS!  21:48, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's probably way faster to just open the whole document instead of saving and then reopening over and over. I mean, you're really just pasting the same code over and over, then changing the name. Glorious  CHAOS!  01:24, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
