Card talk:Main Page

Okay, crediting should go something like this:

St-01:Agumon from the Digi-Battle Card Game.

Card scanned by Rianmon, originally hosted at Cyberdramon's Digital Index.

I need to go through my e-mails and confirm which ones are Rianmon's, and who the others belong to. Seriously, if anyone wants to help me start going through the Digi-Battle cards, that would be spectacular. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  03:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Do we want to combine the "Digivolves to" and the "Japanese/American cards" section for Digimon without Japanese/American cards with the "Notes" section? I guess it would be simpler. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  03:53, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Finally - it shouldn't need any consideration unless it actually happens, but what do we want to do when both the American and Japanese, or possibly even twice in one series, have the same numbering for two different cards?

Naming
Do we want the pages to combine Digimon with the same basic name but that are different in some way? For example, the Digimon who have "X-Antibody" specifically as part of their names? Or stuff like Coredramon (Blue)/(Green), when there are specific differences in stats and such. And if so, how do we want to organize these?

Basically, right now we combine Digimon with the same basic name in the main wiki, but it doesn't have the "American/Japanese" organization requirement that the card articles do.

So far, I've only been including cards with exactly the same name (with regards to dubbing) in the card articles. Sooner or later, I would have to make separate pages for the cards they took the time to add "X-Antibody" too, and it would be wildly misrepresentative of how many X Digimon they're actually are.

 * Based on the confusion inherent in the BlackWarGreymon situation, I'm going to go ahead and consider Digimon that are ever given the same name as appropriate for the same page. So far, I've only left out Digimon with "X-Antibody" in their names, from the Battle Terminal and Alpha cards. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  04:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

A to 0
We need to explain the "Aを0に" aspect of the Defend technique somewhere. It's inherent in all "Defend" (at least for Digital Monster Card Game), but I have no idea what it really does, because I don't actually know the rules for the Japanese game. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  04:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if you wish to explain it somewhere, we could always create a page that explains the rules of the game. Personally, I also wanted to re-learn how to play the game. - Digi9346 - Welcome to the end of the world... 10:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Blue Card
Honestly, I think it looks better without that. Do we maybe want to use that as a link from the front page to the card wiki, like the other Digimon wiki's do? Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  05:40, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * That's fine by me. - - Digi9346 - With each end, comes a new beginning... 08:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Gomamon's database
Okay, Gomamon2000 doesn't list his curent e-mail address in the database, but I found one of his old ones in his forum. I've e-mailed both that, and another e-mail of a "Gomamon2000", and neither of them work. So, I don't think we'll be able to contact him.

However, there is the important fact that the scans aren't his in the first place - they're Vandemon's (not the digital starlight one, the Card Menu one). Vandemon is similarly un-contactable, but since Gomamon and other prominent sites used his scans, it seems to be OK. So, I think we should be okay in using the Digital Monster scans originally form Vamdemon's site.

Honestly, I've tried contacting Gomamon any way I can, and I haven't figured out a way to get in contact with Vandemon, either. I suggest we start uploading the Digital Monster cards, crediting Vandemon and possibly Gomamon2000, and if either of them end up having a problem with it, we immediately take them down. They're not as high-quality as the Card Terminal scans, but they're good enough.

If Gomamon2000 and Vandemon do have a problem with this, then I would like to say that I sincerely apologize for any trouble. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  18:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Nihongo
Does anyone want me to actually add the Japanese text that I translate? Either as alternate text, or on the talk page? Usually, I just throw it away afterwards, but if anyone is interested in it, I can start adding it. In case anyone wants to verify my translation, but doesn't want to spend an hour typing the text up. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  22:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Put it on the talk page. Or put it in the main article and hide it. Just don't throw it away. - Digi9346 - With each end, comes a new beginning... 06:53, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Tabbed Nav code
copied from Wikimon - we probably need to implement this for cards with multiple releases (but with the same number):

For the tabbed navigation, here are the components for it to work (looks like the other Digimon wikis are also after this): /*Copied from http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/example.css used under mit license see http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/ /* $Id: example.css,v 1.5 2006/03/27 02:44:36 pat Exp $ */
 * Create MediaWiki:Tabber.js (also,  needs to be added to the MediaWiki:Common.js)
 * MediaWiki:Common.css:

/*-- REQUIRED to hide the non-active tab content. But do not hide them in the print stylesheet! --*/ .tabberlive .tabbertabhide { display:none; }

/*-- .tabber = before the tabber interface is set up  .tabberlive = after the tabber interface is set up  --*/ .tabber { } .tabberlive { margin-top:1em; }

/*-- ul.tabbernav = the tab navigation list li.tabberactive = the active tab --*/ ul.tabbernav { margin:0; padding: 3px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC; font: bold 12px Verdana, sans-serif; }

ul.tabbernav li { list-style: none; margin: 0; display: inline; }

ul.tabbernav li a { padding: 3px 0.5em; margin-left: 3px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: none; background: #f2f7ff; text-decoration: none; }

ul.tabbernav li a:link { color: #448; } ul.tabbernav li a:visited { color: #667; }

ul.tabbernav li a:hover { color: #000; background: #fff9f2; border-color: #CCC; }

ul.tabbernav li.tabberactive a { background-color: #fff; border-bottom: 1px solid #fff; }

ul.tabbernav li.tabberactive a:hover { color: #000; background: white; border-bottom: 1px solid white; }

/*-- .tabbertab = the tab content Add style only after the tabber interface is set up (.tabberlive) --*/ .tabberlive .tabbertab { padding:5px; border:1px solid #CCC; border-top:0;

/* If you don't want the tab size changing whenever a tab is changed you can set a fixed height */

/* height:200px; */

/* If you set a fix height set overflow to auto and you will get a   scrollbar when necessary */

/* overflow:auto; */ }

/* If desired, hide the heading since a heading is provided by the tab */ .tabberlive .tabbertab h2 { display:none; } .tabberlive .tabbertab h3 { display:none; }

/* Example of using an ID to set different styles for the tabs on the page */ .tabberlive#tab1 { } .tabberlive#tab2 { } .tabberlive#tab2 .tabbertab { height:200px; overflow:auto; }

General syntax (might write an actual tutorial for this here):

Hide boxes
Do we want to modify the infoboxes so that they hide the text, and only show the name and a thumbnail of the card until expanded? It would cut down on the huge whitespace of the card articles, and could be implemented within the templates, keeping us from having to redo every page. I'm not quite sure how to do it though, and I'd have to find out, which is why I want to ask first. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  23:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Let's take it one step at a time. Before we decide whether to hide the text or not, let us implement it first. We'll see how it turns out. You can find out how to improve it later. - Digi9346 - With each end, comes a new beginning... 07:05, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
