Elements
Actually, yeah, it is. Elements are far from a universal concept in the series; Digimon Frontier is generally an exception. What typically are elements such as "Fire", "Water", etc. are more recently covered by family, e.g. Dragon's Roar/DR/Dragon or Wind Guardians/WG/Bird, and the older elements are more related to specific video games rather than to Digimon as a whole, thus belonging to that particular section only. Thus, I see no reason for an element category. Lanate (talk) 01:09, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * The only source I could think of for elements would be the DS games, which in all but a few rare cases correlate the element with the family (see DigiMemories). I suppose it would be possible to apply that throughout the wiki, but there are also obvious conflicts - Sakkakumon can use every element, for instance, and the lightning-using Justimon is a primarily metal cyborg. Or the water-using Suijinmon, which is a purely-mechanical machine.
 * As a basic rule, this wiki does not allow speculation, whatsoever. So, any "element" category would have to be sourced in every instance. I just don't see how that could be done for elements, considering the obvious necessity of judgment-calls, and apparent conflicts. And again, the only things that approach a set of sources equate the idea with the family. Glorious  CHAOS!  04:19, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is also the huge problem that the system you chose is already in use for user pages and fan Digimon, which is unacceptable. Glorious  CHAOS!  04:21, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
