Make sure Lanate and G-SANtos are cool with it, since they do the most with that infrastructure. As for me, I'm cool with it. 19:57, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've just messaged both of them, I'll see what they say. Chimera-gui (talk) 20:52, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * And they've replied giving their okay for span tags. Chimera-gui (talk) 18:20, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

It's fine if wikispecies or wikipedia doesn't have the page up currently -- they delete or move their stuff all the time, and we can't be expected to know about and update our links when they do. As regards general topic links, like "Gigas" or "F-14 TomCat", it's generally acceptable to revise the link, but for species, we link to the species name, and any fall through is left to wikispecies to correct. 15:55, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * The standard is to use the full binomial name, because regardless of whatever organizational mess wikipedia or wikispecies is in, that name will always be 100% accurate. We should aim to have our articles in a "perfect" state, and if wikipedia or wikispecies doesn't have their s*** together yet, that's on them. Make sense? 16:55, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Just wondering what the rationale was behind the following changes (these are not necessarily wrong, I'm just curious):


 * http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Flymon?curid=3709&diff=372336&oldid=366719
 * http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Roachmon?curid=3549&diff=372330&oldid=370449
 * Nah, like I said, we don't worry if the page exists, only if the species exists. For those two, we chose the ones closest to the Digimon's design, and most likely to be the referrent (so, Japanese species are often preferred). The page exists on wikipedia for Blattella asahinai, so it might actually be more expedient to just create the wikispecies page. 20:26, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Wikispecies is a much more reliable target, so we prefer to link to them instead. It honestly shouldn't be too hard to use the info on the wikipedia page to fill out the wikispecies page, which would solve the problem without our wiki having to settle for irregularities. 20:43, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Talk pages
We typically don't do template substitutions on talk pages like that; talk pages should reflect what the original person said. Additionally, I'm uncomfortable using the ns template for wikis that aren't directly on wikia or aren't a wikimedia project. Lanate (talk) 06:08, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
