Future Mode
I would really like to see that scan, then, since I've read over the V-Tamer manga in both English and Japanese specifically to look for that name, and never found it.KrytenKoro 04:00, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hah! That would definitely explain why I never found it, that thing is tiny. Damn, though, that means I need to find and rewrite that throughout my documents.05:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Evolution refs
On another note, thank you very much for using my format to fill out the evolution refs, and I'm really sorry that I disappeared and didn't finish it myself. Before the transwiki, I was going through the list articles and cleaning them up, and NedScott had suggested splitting them once they got here - would you like to work with me on that?KrytenKoro 04:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Help
I'm trying to list all the Digimon that appear in Next, but I can't identify a few of them:



If you can help at all, thanks.KrytenKoro 07:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Tasks
Okay, here's what I can see as the most pressing tasks:


 * 1) Split off all Digimon species to separate articles, and rename character articles appropriately
 * 2) Standardize Digimon species sections
 * 3) Find all the points, like in Ikkakumon's profile, where it just says things like "the Japanese word for single horn", and replace that with an actual Nihongo tag.
 * 4) Source all evolutions, and preferably semi-source all attacks.
 * 5) Correct categories for moved Digimon (like how Gomamon (Adventure) has the categories that Gomamon correctly belongs to)
 * 6) Create sections on species pages for the various forms of the Digimon, like Gomamon X

Also, please remind me to add to the MoS draft that reference sections should use KrytenKoro 19:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Wind Guardian
I may be reading it wrong, but it seems to me that the furigana bit is only covering the "Kaze no Shugo" part. However, it might just be too short in furigana to cover the whole phrase. What do you think?KrytenKoro 03:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess that works then, since the Shugo only means "protection" (So a Guardian would be a "wall of protection", I guess?)KrytenKoro 03:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Fanfiction
You don't happen to be Matt Lans do you? Digi9346 05:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Never mind that, I am currently desperate. Do you think you can help me do a vote in my profile, I need one more vote. (can be accessed from my user page.) Thanks. Digi9346 05:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a whole lot. Digi9346 00:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Splitting
As long as you keep the categories at the bottom of the redirects, you should be doing okay. (So, replace the redirect with the text, and remove the "redirects in digimon" category, but keep the rest). Ned Scott also said that sometimes there is information from before the article got redirected, but that it's usually a duplicate of what you're splitting anyway, so...I guess, check old versions of the page if you feel like it.KrytenKoro 02:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I noticed one thing - you need to keep the X versions of a Digimon on the same page as it's original form, since technically they are the same Digimon anyway, just powered up. Check out Greymon for an example. This means you'd have to change redirects so that they read "Gabumon#Gabumon" and "Gabumon#Gabumon X".KrytenKoro 02:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, instead of using the references and div tags, just use .KrytenKoro 02:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Gah, another: Arkadimon, like Gizumon or Lucemon, should probably be covered on one page. Possibly not though, so maybe ask Ned or one of the other usual editors for their opinion.KrytenKoro 02:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hybrids
Okay, this is going to be the weirdest situation with splitting the list.

On the one hand, these have the most absolutely confirmed digivolution lines, and most of them are already on one page categorized by spirit. On the other hand, these pages are built like normal "anime character pages".

A possible solution I could think of is to organize it by "Spirits of Water" or some such thing, and then move the character articles to something like Ranamon (Frontier). The Spirits of Water page would cover AncientMermaidmon, Ranamon, and Calmaramon, from the point of view of them as species. Otherwise, I could just merge the species-pov list sections with the character-pov articles, but that would awkwardly leave out such Digimon as Strabimon or JetSilphymon, while making the character articles format differently than all other character pages. So, I think the first solution would be the best for splitting these off - would you agree, and what would you like the naming ocnvention to be for such articles?

Also, should we be having group categories (like, X-digimon, or Jungle Troopers) on character articles and species articles, or just the species article? It would be redundant and slightly confusing for the category pages to have them on both, though then again the character versions could have different "stats" than the main version of the species. Thoughts?KrytenKoro 19:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've started a tentative Spirits of Fire article. This then brings up the case of the Ancient Digimon. Should they be merged to the Ancient Warriors article, since they are quintessentially part of that group? Should they be merged with the appropriate Spirits page, since the Spirits are technically variations or subspecies of them (in that case, the page would be moved from Spirits of Fire to AncientGreymon? Or should they get their own article completely, like Greymon?
 * Finally, should the U and Z Hybrids be on just the fire and light pages, all pages from which they are formed, get their own articles, or remain on the List of Hybrids page? I can see reasons for each of these, so I'd like to know what others think. I'm going to post this question section on the other major editor's pages as well, to get their opinion.KrytenKoro 20:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
