Talk:Digimon Wiki

This other place
I found another Digimon Wiki called Wikimon (http://wikimon.net/Main_Page). Does it have any connection to Digimon Wiki? Shadoom1 06:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think so. And it's not very good, might I add. >_> Mistranslations, they called the Shadow Abyss the Shadow Hell. And it's not Register Jungle, it's resister Jungle. Like you're resisting something. With all due respect, Gazimon X 18:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I recall someone saying that Wikimon suffered a crash a while back and lost a lot of their stuff. We have no official connection with them, but when we were looking for a new home for the Wikipedia articles we did contact them. We were not sure what their copyright policy was, and in the end Wikia looked like a more stable host, so that's where we decided to put our effort. Assuming they're copyright policy is compatible with ours (GFDL), then we could even directly share content (see DW:COPYHELP for how to do this, for any site). If anyone wants to leave them another message, feel free to tell them that we'd love to collaborate or help out or whatever. The great thing about having our content being under the GFDL is that anyone can use it for free, as long as they're willing to let us use any improvements they make to what they used. -- Ned Scott 05:52, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Nihongo
In creating new character pages, the user who split them off seems to have repeatedly based them on Mimi Tachikawa's page, and then modified them as necessary. However, they forgot to correct the Nihongo, so it looks to all the world as if we are claiming that every character's name is read in Japanese as "Tachikawa Mimi". I currently have no nihongo support on my computer, and can't fix it on my own, so can someone who does have nihongo support please check all uses of the Template:Nihongo and verify it has the correct symbols? WWWJDIC has a quick "Translate Japanese" function which can recognize proper names, so just pasting it in that browser should be a quick way to check.KrytenKoro 04:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Another New Person
Hi you guys i just joined and i'm here to help as best as i can and also I really think Ladydevimon should have her own page. Grindin 01:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The list layout is left over from our import from Wikipedia, and eventually all the Digimon will have their own pages. If she doesn't already have her own article yet you can help set it up by following the instructions at DW:GENERAL. -- Ned Scott 05:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Soundtracks?
I haven't found any articles about soundtrack yet, so I've been wondering about whether it is allowed to create them. These could contain information like what the songs' names are (including the translation, if the name is non-English), who has written/sung the song, to what season(s) it belongs... And so on. And if it is allowed, I have a second questions: Which soundtracks? Only American? Only Japanese? Only these two? Or all that were ever published (including German and possibly others)?

I myself currently have 5 soundtracks, so I could write something about these ones:
 * Digimon Gold (German)
 * Digimon Vol. 3 (German)
 * Digimon Frontier (German)
 * Digimon - The Movie (American)
 * デジモンフロンティア キャラクターソング・コレクション「サラマンダー」) (Japanese)

 * Sorry for the really late response, but if you happen to read this: go for it. Go as far and as detailed as you want. As long as it's true, and you can cite a source (I think soundtracks probably have some kind of product number, much like books having ISBNs), then we'll welcome the information. -- Ned Scott 05:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Some idiot tried to make a pokemon into a digimon.
Some idiot tried to make a pokemon named Grovyle into a digimon named Grazelmon. I'd delete it myself but I don't know how. I'm also going to check out Seelmon because the edit was made by the same person. With all due respect, Gazimon X 18:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Edit: Yep. Seelmon is, in fact, Grovyle's pre-evolved form named Treeko. They didn't make either article to the format and it doesn't even say what level they are.Gazimon X 18:24, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Unable to register
A friend of mine wan't to register himself to Digimon Wikia, but we get the message: "It's unable to register you this time." Can somebody help us? BramBenthem 12:42, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's likely something that is out of our local control. I would suggest asking at wikia:Forum:Help desk. -- Ned Scott 06:10, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Info?
Hi, I'm new and I was looking for information on the Digital Hazard, but I couldn't find hardly anything. Can anyone help me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dark Lord Peaches (talk • contribs)
 * We don't seem to have much info on it at the moment, but Wikimon has a nice write up at http://wikimon.net/Digital_Hazard -- Ned Scott 06:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Card index pages
KrytenKoro asked me on my talk page for assistance on infoboxes for our own card index pages, and I've been trying to think of how to go about it ever since. Technically speaking it should be pretty easy, so the real work is in the layout of the page itself. I have very little knowledge of the card games myself, so I don't know the rules or what common types of information needs to be covered. Between the discussion on my talk page with KrytenKoro and looking at other Digimon fan card index sites, I'm starting to get a feel for it, but I'm thinking maybe we just want a big 'ol brain storm session to figure out these details.

In other words, if anyone wants to throw in their input on what they think it should look like, or what kind of information it should have, now is the time to speak up. -- Ned Scott 02:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, there is of course the basics, like the card number, the series, the attacks... wait, why am I listing this? *rolls eyes* Alright, basics. And then, I think that maybe we should add information about how to attain the card if it appears in any of the games (especially Card Battle). Also, we can list what are the similar cards, like alternate cards of the same Digimon, which card able to be used to Digivolve into or from all on that card's page. For the article name, we can simply use the card serial, as it is straightforward, instead of having to have multiple of the same Digimon under the same name, which makes it confusing.


 * Furthermore, I think we should create a few 'lists' (maybe using the original Digimon list as a template) and then listing each and every card (that we can find) under a particular Digimon's name and link. This would allow those looking for a particular Digimon and their cards an easier time.


 * Of course, I think I remember that some of the US and the Jap cards have the same serials. So I think that may be a tiny problem, but that is easily solved. But even so, there is already plenty of work. - Digi9346 - Today, the Chosen shall fall. Tomorrow, the world... 06:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Because the English and Japanese card games share many of the same serials, I think we're pretty much going to have to organize it like Megchan does. The way the english card game names the option cards, like "FORCE FX/Red Offensive", would also be solved by naming cards under their name, not serial. Finally, this would eliminate redundancy in "Digivolves from" and "Digivolves to" links between the card articles.
 * We could compromise, by having redirects for each card serial that redirected to the appropriate card page.
 * The problem with redirects would be for double serials between the English and Japanese card games. Should those be disambigs, or just default redirect to the English cards, or what? Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  11:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we should put links on the pages instead. One that leads to the Jap card and the other that leads to the US one... or was that already what you were implying? - Digi9346 - Today, the Chosen shall fall. Tomorrow, the world... 12:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * For the Cardlists, that would work, but for inter-article links and search terms, we'd still have the problem. Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  13:12, 14 September 2008
