[edit] 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)
Gazimon X, with all due respect, but many of the mistranslations you have seen on that Wiki might be because of the fact that it doesn't use dub terms. While I'm not an expert on Digimon, Abyss sounds less offensive to religious watchers than Hell, thus it might have been changed in the dub. Sega-Sonic 14:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, before we get into the "PC" debate - it's because the area uses kanji in it's name for that bit, and so "Abyss" is as good a translation as "Hell". You get the same with with its "Magnetized Quarry" - dubbed as Magnet Mine. The FAQ writer they based it on imply ran the names through babelfish, and its evident throughout his guide.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 15:16, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Anyway, at this point wikimon is basically our Japanese-based sister site. Ainz helps out here all the time, and me and some of the other editors work there as well.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 15:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

-- Toa-Nuva (Profil / Diskussion / Homepage) 15:06, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

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)

[edit] uploading pics

how do you upload pics —Preceding unsigned comment added by Catface (talk • contribs)

There's a link on the side bar, or you can just click on Special:Upload. -- Ned Scott 04:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Speaking of uploading images, how long do you have to wait after joining Digimon Wiki until you're actually allowed to do so. - THB 17:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Only a few days tops. - Digi9346 - With each end, comes a new beginning... 03:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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

[edit] Todo

The major editors of this place really need to get together and set up a todo list, so we can get more work done efficiently, and spread the load around.

This is a draft based on my personal todo list, though a lot of it would need community approval first anyway:

  1. Finish the MoS Draft.
  2. Be more vigilant about welcoming new editors and going out into the community to spread the word (might want someone else to do this, I'm not a very friendly person).
  3. Split off all species pages, and fix associated redirects and links.
  4. Rename, remove, and replace images. Create image-naming standard, if possible, and categorize images by fan-fiction, stats, etc. Upload small and large sprite's from the DS games, if one can find a good spriters' site. Possibly upload sprite's from the Wonderswan games. Make sure image's do not have invisible background, to prevent dotting when shrunk.
  5. Figure out how to deal with the Hybrids.
  6. Dump info from Digimon World Dawn and Dusk
  7. Revise Coupling article Guidelines and articles
  8. General cleanup on articles, create redirects for various forms of a character Digimon.
  9. Create articles for prominent members of the franchise and community, such as Akiyoshi Hongo or Vandemon.
  10. Setup partnership with one of the major fansites, or at least, links.
  11. Set up "News" section.
  12. Set up Walkthrough sections for the various games.
  13. Set up Userboxes page, as well as possibly "Digimon Partners" Template, or "Wishlist" Template. More user involvement.
  14. Set up Featured Article/Image process.
  15. Set up Card Encyclopedia for all cards. Have English translation of the cards, maybe Japanese too.
  16. Get more information on the items in the series, including personal items.
  17. Create section on Digimon pages for the official Japanese bio's.
  18. Set up links section to Digimon Channel, etc.
  19. Add rarely-known Digimon like Agumon Hakase, Nise Agumon Hakase, Atamadekachimon, Minidekachimon, Amon & Umon, etc., as well as non-Digimon characters like the Digital Deep Ones, Lord Megadeath, and NEO.

X-Antibody or X Antibody?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 04:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Katakana

What do we want to do in the following situations:

  • プチ: Petit (Petitmon even uses it as the official romanization of the kana.)
  • ハーケン: Hook
  • ツメ: Claw, but as an original Japanese word in hiragana. Why it's in katakana for Agumon's attack is anyone's guess
  • ツノ: Horn, same as with claw

For Puchi and Ha-ken, it's a direct translation to Petit and Hook, but for Tsume and Tsuno, there doesn't even seem to be any reason for it to be in katakana. Plus, the attacks containing these words also have hiragana/kanji, so they would already be in our "romaji" format.

Personally, I think directly translating Puchi and Ha-ken to Petit and Hook would be reasonable, since I don't think they're meant to really sound foreign for those parts - that's just how katakana does it for those two.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 05:10, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki.png

How did you get that as a link to the main page? I'm having a hard time trying to fix it for my wiki.....--☆CoolPikachu! 01:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Perfect vs. Ultimate vs. Mega

In the US dub, the digimon levels are always referred to as Champion > Ultimate > Mega, while the source material has it as Champion > Perfect > Ultimate. This is even further confused by the existence of 'Super Ultimate' digimon like Arkadimon. I'm assuming that, because it is the most widely used convention on this wiki, the english version is the one that should be applied. Should articles always be edited to conform to this standard (I'm sure I've seen a few that don't do it correctly, and I'm looking for them right now)? I've also seen some sites use 'Champion > Perfect > Mega' to completely avoid the confusion. Rakamon 21:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

"Super Ultimate" is the dub term for Digimon above Mega, as evidenced by the D-Tector Susanoomon card. Dub terms are used exclusively on this wiki.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 22:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh no, I'm aware of that, I just find the nomenclature really non-intuitive because I'm more used to Ultimate referring to Mega level digimon. I was just wondering if the other possibility of a hybridized naming style had been considered, or if policy should always be to refer to Ultimate rather than Perfect. Just thought it was something to think about. Rakamon 22:38, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
The policy is that Ultimate is used rather than Perfect because this wiki, as an English wiki, places more focus on the US version than the source material. Where differences lie will be noted, but what happens in the English will trump the Japanese in most cases.
Except for Digimon of Non-Japanese Origin, which are a case in themselves. Lanate (talk) 01:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Plus, a "hybridized nomenclature" would be non-canon and even more confusing to people from either system.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 04:07, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unfinished Business

I noticed that someone had begun putting images into the episode guides, but never finished. I'd be willing to finish work on the Digimon Adventure episodes, and maybe even Adventure 02, by adding my own images (provided its okay to have faint channel logos like 'Fox Kids' and Jetix' in the corner - they are good quality images, by the way). Is there a particular style I should be staying with, eg. image size? If anyone has any tips to offer, that would help, too. (I'm new and unfamiliar with the way this site is run, so correct me if I'm doing anything wrong here.) THB 13:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, we are currently trying to standardise everything. So if you don't mind, maybe you can try this when you name the images:
(Season Name)(Episode Number)-(Image Number).jpg
So, it will look something like this:
  • Adventure Epi07-5.jpg
  • Adventure02 Epi41-3.jpg
  • Tamers Epi50-1.jpg
  • Frontier Epi01-1.jpg
As for size and the image placement, you can do this:
{| class="wikitable"
|- bgcolor="white"
| [[Image:TamerEpi50-1.jpg|250px]] |
| [[Image:TamerEpi50-2.jpg|250px]] |
| [[Image:TamerEpi50-3.jpg|250px]] |-
| [[Image:TamerEpi50-4.jpg|250px]] |
| [[Image:TamerEpi50-5.jpg|250px]] |
| [[Image:TamerEpi50-6.jpg|250px]] |-
|}
Such Sweet Sorrow is a good example of a nice episode guide, as you would have likely noticed.
Just don't forget to add [[Category:Episode Images]] to the summary. And stick to a maximum of 6 images. - Digi9346 - With each end, comes a new beginning... 14:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Main Fan page article?

This is the pinnacle of fan fiction in our fandom - getting it made official. Do we want this to be the main page, first pointed to page, or what?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 15:03, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I think that maybe it will do well as the Fan Main Page. However, I believe we should get it completed first before implementing it. - Digi9346 - With each end, comes a new beginning... 18:36, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wanted

We need to make sure to get up coverage of this, as well.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 20:12, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

In fact, we need to set up DigimonWiki:Wanted, and link to it form the main page, so that we can channel new and aimless editors towards working on new coverage while we (or I, I guess I can't speak for everyone) work on cleaning up and filling the existing coverage.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 20:13, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Two things

1) Do we want to set up some kind of noticeboard for discussion and information on major changes to the wiki, like Manuals of Style or Featured articles?

2) Check out this. We already seem to want to mention which Digimon appear, and we do the summary and pics. We need to have some kind of infobox to direct between consecutive episodes, so the main differences are:

  1. Do we want to have a specific style for episodes?
  2. Do we want to do quotes?
  3. Do we want to mention errors, dub changes, easter eggs, and trivia?
  4. Do we want to allow humorous captions for episode images?

Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 17:57, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Users

I think we need a place or a thread or something for new users/editors to introduce themselves. BTW, I'm new, the name's rad140. I'll do my best to help out, although I have to get back into Digimon... it's been a while. KrytenKoro already knows I'm an idiot... apparently I don't know how people hold hands ;)

Is there a general format for user pages? --Rad140 18:42, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

We're trying to set up a working user infobox template, but Template:User Digimon is basically what we have for that - it's just for fun. We're also trying to create userboxes that would allow users to search for editors by fluency, information, etc., but we've kind of let that slide (if you want to help create them, you would be greatly appreciated!). Most of us also have a "Digimon Partners" box, using the wikitable set up you can see on my userpage.
Practicality-wise - if you create sandbox pages, it's good to list them on your userpage, and a good idea is to create a todo list, so you remember what you're supposed to be getting done.
However, your userpage is yours. You can have countless images on it, youtube viewers, or even just rant about your day at work/school. As long as it's not outright inappropriate, like "PORN PORN PORN PORN FISH!", you're fine.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 18:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Angela Anaconda

Just to check - we have no intention of even admitting this exists, right? I certainly don't want to mention it, but it is in the movie, and it is quite, quite about Digimon, even if it is brain-meltingly horrible.

Thoughts?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 18:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I forgot about that. I agree. It does exist, but let's pretend it doesn't... for everyone's sake. We are the Digimon Wiki, not the AA wiki, after all. Wikipedia barely mentions it, so I think we should go one step further and not mention it at all. I recall that it wasn't exactly "in" the movie... it was a short before. Not like I want to revisit it anyway. --Rad140 00:19, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image Notice

I need help creating a notice that will automatically display at the top of every page (or every edit summary), along the lines of:

"This wiki's images are currently being sorted out. If you find a link to a deleted or missing image and you cannot find a suitable alternative using the "Search" function, please list the article here, and we will replace it as soon as possible."

For Bandai images, I'm using Digimon Channel. For Toei images, I'm using the authentic .gif's at DMA. I'm trying to replace anything I delete or redirect, but if you find anything, please just tell me about it. Or, if you know how to correctly upload the images with crediting (to Toei or Bandai), you can do that, too. Thanks, everyone!Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 06:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Videos

I'm sure everyone got that message about embedding videos in wikia... I was thinking, what do you guys think about adding video recaps from episodes on the episode summary pages? Either Eng Dub or the original w/ Eng subtitles. I could do some. I'm thinking it would just be editing the "Previously on..." part at the beginning of each episode and sticking it on the episode it's referring to? --Rad140 15:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

That sounds like it could work under Fair Use, but Ned is the expert on such matters.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 03:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

KrytenKoro set up a discussion page where you can vote for the wiki's featured article for next week (2/15). Go vote! Thanks, KrytenKoro! --Rad140 22:27, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Synopses

It seems I've been put in charge of episode pages (at least as far as the Digimon Adventure series is concerned), so I've decided to take advantage of this responsibilty, by asking for help in writing episode synopses. It's probably the hardest part of writing an episode page, as it involves watching (or knowing off by heart) whole episodes from beginning to end, and taking down almost every detail. A lot of synopses have already been written for Digimon Adventure, but to be honest, they could be made longer. A good synopsis should at least be as long as this. It should also avoid spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, etc. And don't bother starting work on a synopsis if you're not willing to spend a good amount of time on it. As a final note, I'd suggest having the episode playing in another window as you write (perhaps via YouTube or DVD), so as to refer to and spot any minor details. Of course, you can contact me through my talk page if anything's unclear. THB 19:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] D-Reaper

Okay, this week I want to make a real push for this article:

  1. Integrate the info from the Konaka sources listed here.
  2. Do full storyline info for the entire reaper and for each ADR, akin to the Digimon Encyclopedia or tfwiki. Use storylink templates
  3. Get the episodes involving the D-Reaper up to the same standard as And so it begins....
  4. Have some discussion of the quantum mechanics involved with the character.
  5. Get a better picture of D-Reaper "Chaos", that red stuff.
  6. Categorize the redirects for the various agents and reapers.
  7. Get sources for the "similar concepts" bit.
  8. Look for any appearances of the D-Reaper in Bandai merchandise, or shout-outs from other series.

Once we've done that, I think we can port it over to wikipedia, and push for it to be a featured article.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 10:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

We seem to be pretty good about info on other manga, but seem to be lacking on the english manga based on the anime (tokyopop manga), usually only referred as the "english manga" or just "manga".

Rad140 - RAWR??? NO UPDATES!?!:
TALK - ~~~~~
I've heard it was 5 seasons, and there has really been no new news about Digimon recently. Then again, there was 3 years between Frontier, and Savers, so there may be hope yet... I know the first part of the Data Squad box set is due out soon in stores, so its sales might be a good indicator of the popularity of the series, which may/may not have an impact on any future seasons. There's also rumour of a future Digimon game for the Wii. Who knows?

[edit] Multiple digivolutions

Okay, the multiple digivolutions listed on the episode guides, in my view at least, make the tables look hideous. Personally, I would rather we just do individual digivolutions, and not group them, but I can see how it would be considered neater to join them, and it is possible to somewhat mitigate the horror.

[edit] Affiliate

Hey, how would we go about setting up an affiliation with wikimon? I didn't know it was possible until I saw the KH wiki do it, but now that I know I think it would be a really great way to show how much they've helped us.Glorious CHAOS! 19:03, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Why not? But how do we do so? - Digi9346 - Your destruction is inevitable... 06:18, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
I guess we could contact someone on wikimon, or someone from DATS, and ask. And then, I guess, exchange "link buttons" (those little picture box links that affiliates use) or something like that, and feature them somewhere prominently (ie main page, sidebar) on the wiki.---- Rad140 Grrr.... I'm Wargreymon! Arrrrrrgh! 18:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Well,Digimon spirit still has an affiliate button to this wiki, so it is possible-Kazu-12:42,31 August 2009

[edit] Toys

Maybe we should do a page about the toys also that are available. Or maybe post pictures and info of the toy of a certain digimon. Like put pictures of all the toys and info that exist of Agumon on agumon page/section.

I will have no problem to do that but just wanted to see before doing it.

Whoa whoa whoa, don't delete the whole page!
And we would do that if we had the info, but since we're mostly run on user edits, it's up to people like you to add stuff if you can, if the rest of us don't have the info. The Digipedia has a lot of stuff too. Lanate (talk) 03:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] This other other place

Rad140 - RAWR??? NO UPDATES!?!:
TALK - ~~~~~
So, anyone have an opinion on this wiki that looks awfully similar to our own, Digimon x Wiki? It seems to be run by War greymon and Taichi, and only him. And when I mean "awfully similar", I mean exact copying and pasting of our own articles, formatting, templates, links and all (pics and videos too). As far as I can tell, the number of original articles there is -1. (0, -1 for taking our stuff). I don't mean to sound possessive of our own work, I just think it's past the point of simple flattery.


The only reason I bring it up is because of it's blatant copying of our own work without any sourcing or "Special thanks" or anything (hell, even the links in his "articles" link back to us). So, should we ignore it and let it pass, or go after it with our army of lawyers? :P

Well, GFDL says we can't do anything about it, but wikia does not allow duplicate wiki's. So, notify Angela or Uberfuzzy, one of the main wikia head honcho's, and they'll deal with it.


Someone sent me a message about this-->http://digimonx.wikia.com/wiki/Digimon_x_Wiki Any thoughts on another Digiwiki?--Digimon: The Musical! Coming whenever I feel like it. 18:37, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

It's just some tosser.Glorious CHAOS! 23:22, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

There's a ton of duplicate Digimon wikias that seem to have gotten created. I'll see if I can contact a staffer to see if we can close some of them down, as they shouldn't have been created given Wikia's own guidelines on such things. Here's a full list

The only ones that even have any content are the last two. The rest are either abandoned or bad copies of this Digimon Wiki. -- Ned Scott 05:13, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I talked to one guy on IRC. I don't know if he was a staffer or not, but he said there really wasn't any formal process to reporting these other wikias. You can drop a line to Angela like KrytenKoro suggested, or just leave them be. They don't seem to be impacting search results at all.
I'm guessing most of these were started by younger.. people.. and the best thing we can do is to be friendly about it. Tell them that they don't have to go and make their own Wikia, they can come and be apart of this community. You know, stuff like that. Be open, be friendly, and be patient.
Although in the case of Digimon X Wiki, they are actually breaking the GFDL by not linking back to us at all. Actually, the GFDL is more complicated than that, but it won't matter soon because Wikipedia's content (that we started with) will soon transition to another license (Creative Commons) that's a lot less of a headache to use. When they do, we can apply CC to Digimon Wiki as well. Even then they'll still need to at least link back to the page were they got their info. In short, if you see someone reusing content from Digimon Wiki then they need to at least link back to us (and allow others to reuse their content with the same conditions). -- Ned Scott 05:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Actually, I have found that some of the wikis are actually wikis on fics. What do we do about those? - Digi9346 - Your destruction is inevitable... 11:26, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Don't touch them. They're legitimate places, I think. Lanate (talk) 15:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New Wiki

Could you put polish version of Digimon Wiki in "language section" of the Main Page? http://pl.digimonuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Strona_g%C5%82%C3%B3wna

I will appreciate it. I'm admin there. Final_Cannon 15:59, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much.

anyone know how to contact the creators of digimon 01?

[edit] Proposal for Articles that begin with fan:.

I recently discovered that someone had made an edit on my article. The anonymous person had added his own content, including an "unknown" type and level and an extra attack. Even though it made no difference, I left a message on this user's Talk Page.

Because of this, I propose that any articles starting with fan: or in the Fan Ficition or Fan Digimon groups, be locked so only the Author and Moderators may edit it.

This will prevent vandalism and carefree content from our own inspirations.

I hope you all support this and that it is made an action! Digital Tamer 17:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

In a word, no. This is a wiki, and one of the main points about posting fan fiction on a wiki is to work on it together - that's why we have stuff like Fan:Digimon 2.5, where multiple editors report on a well-known fan fiction. As the editor did not actually vandalize your article, but was attempting to add to it in good faith, there is no reason to block them, either. The most you can do is to politely ask them to refrain from editing your article. Most importantly, though, it is completely impossible to do what you're asking; the closest we could do is to make it editable by admins only, locking you out as well.
However, if you would like to post your fan fiction somewhere safe from being edited by others, there are many non-community-edited fan fiction sites which would allow you to do so. Lanate or Rad140 would be able to point you towards those.Glorious CHAOS! 21:05, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
I only archive on FanFiction.net. Try making a LiveJournal or something, as some do after being burned in other places.
This is the main reason why I only provide links to my work, that and the fact that I don't want to release my work under the wiki's license. Lanate (talk) 22:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Always late to the party, I have to agree. Under the GFDL, other people can edit your story, re-use it, or even sell it for profit; if you don't want any of that, don't post it on a wiki. What I can suggest (and has already been suggested) is to post it somewhere like LiveJournal or FanFiction (where you have total, or almost total control), and then you can post the links here, or even create an info page, like Digimon 2.5 without posting the actual story. Locking the story won't work under the GFDL (?), and would lock you out. Plus, there's plenty more potential readers/reviewers/ppl on FanFiction/LiveJournal than there are here. If you need anything, feel free to message me.---- Rad140 "RAWR? NO UPDATES!?" 00:14, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Issues w/ Music Video redirects (side bar)

Oi, I would fix this myself if I could, but the side bar is locked to admins only, so: There are some problems with redirects in the side bar (could be from Move's with the actual pages themselves, but whatever):

-The "Albums" link only redirects to DA02 albums. If I click "Albums" under the DA heading, it takes me to the DA02 albums only.
Solution: disambig pages, or "Albums (Digimon Adventure)", separate Album links for each heading/season

-Repeated albums names: Seasons that have the same/similar album titles only redirect to one season (ie DA and DA02 both have a "Best Hit Parade" CD. Clicking on one only takes you to the DA02 Album) Solution: disambig pages, "You might be looking for" links, or separate links ("Best Hit Parade" (DA) and "Best Hit Parade (DA02) )

-Missing links: The side bar is missing some album links. This mostly affects DA.

[edit] Finding Seasons of Digimon to Buy

I have been searching high and low for all seasons of Digimon on DVD but am yet to have found them. Does anyone know who actually produced it? I thought it was ToonDisney but I could be wrong. Any info would be great. Also if you know where I can purchase it.

Thanks

mike


Digimon was produced by Toei Animation and Bandai of Japan. Disney currently owns the rights to all of Digimon, I believe. You can pick up the first 13 episodes of the newest season, Digimon Data Squad at any Walmart. I'm going to assume you're looking for the sub (English) versions of any DVDs, and unfortunately, there are no official, comprehensive DVD releases for any other season.

That said, there are some official-look-a-likes DVD boxsets that appear on Amazon/eBay from time to time (here, here, here, and here.) Be warned though, they do cost an arm and a leg, if you can find them. Hell, I would buy them, if I was loaded. Hope that helps; if you need anything else, feel free to leave a message on my talk page.---- Rad140 "RAWR? NO UPDATES!?" 21:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

There are a few episodes of Digimon officially on DVD in the United Kingdom (PAL, Region 2) - namely episodes 1-20, series one (here are links to the first, second and third DVD). It's not much, but it could be a start. THB 20:55, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Error

Cite error: <ref> tags exist, but no <references/> tag was found- that error is displaying on the main page. I think that <ref> tags in Sora artcile (featured box) is causing that to happen. Shouldn't they be deleted from there? Final Cannon Talk 19:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Eggs

We need to check the spellings and info on these pages, and after a no-redirect move to the correct names, merge the info to the main Eggs article.Glorious CHAOS! 05:24, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Digi-Eggs

If someone has time to fiddle with it, we really need the images to have the same basic heights.

"Widthpx" or "xHeightpx" or "WidthxHeightpx" or "upright" or "upright=Factor". Scale the image to be no greater than the given width and/or height, keeping its aspect ratio. With "upright", scale a thumbnail from its default size by the given factor (default 0.8).

[edit] Two Frontier Drama CD's?

Are Wanting to Tell and Original Story: Things That Want To Be Told the same thing, with the former being a slightly different translation of the former? If so, in the side bar, (the Music Videos category), it should be changed so we're constant, and don't have two different articles about the same drama CD.---- Rad140 Dear vandal, I'm not afraid to rollback your ass. 21:49, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
