Rename discussion[]
- for Japanese titles sure. But ghost game should match the titles from the dub. Which I think they already do.Marcusbwfc (talk) 15:11, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

This is meant to be a noticeboard on already-approved or approval-needed moves, with discussion about the move itself to be handled on the linked pages.

Alternates[]
According to ichi_1 on withthewill.net, Digimon Collectors treats the Miko Modes, Lilithmon (XW), and Shoutmon (King Ver.) as separate species to their default versions (still need to ask about Sistermon Awaken modes) -- they have different evolution requirements to and from than the normal cards. Given this, do we want to treat them as separate Digimon species? How would we operate the profiles? Color-changes like Cherubimon and Ghoulmon have duplicated the profile word-for-word in the past, so should we just copy the profile? Without further confirmation in the Reference Book, I'd honestly like to keep them united, even though we have confusion with Daemon Beast Mode and Apokarimon Creepy Mode as well.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 20:13, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

- That seems like it defeats the purpose of the featured article, and we have the top sidebar to serve as a ToC in that regard. On a related note, the anime is only a small fraction pf the franchise, and i would honestly prefer a wikimon-style setup where the table covers the main formats of the franchise - anime, manga, cd dramas, novels, video games, and toys.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 21:34, August 5, 2014 (UTC)

A new series every 3 years sure sounds like that's what keeps the franchise alive. The manga has been much more frequent than the anime. There are many parts to the entire franchise and they all play a role in keeping it alive, but the anime isn't doing as much work as the rest of the franchise.--CrestsofDetermination&Loyalty (talk) 02:41, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
- If the Manga is keeping it alive, they should advertise it more because I think a majority of people don't know if there is one or they think it finished ages ago. {{SUBST:Signature/Ellis99}} 12:01, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
- I was only using the manga as an example. I was saying the manga is doing a better job than the anime of keeping the franchise alive. Its over in Japan where all this stuff keeps coming out. There hasn't been a manga here in the US since the ones based off the first 4 seasons. The franchise has a lot of stuff so you can't say what you're saying because you are only basing it off of the dub.--CrestsofDetermination&Loyalty (talk) 15:48, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
- The anime is the part getting the most advertising in america, but it is only a portion of the franchise and is by far the most quiescent part; the series as a whole has no real marketing in america, to the point that card shops are unaware there is even a new card game. At this point, when the video games are doing the bulk of the work in retaining a fandom, its very much undue weight for the wiki to portray a listing of the anime series as an overview of the entire franchise.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 17:19, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

'Anime' section overlap[]
Hey, a visitor just contacted Wikia to point out that the Anime section on the main page ovelaps the right column. It looks like the table of Digimon series is too wide, especially on smaller screens (but not so small that the right rail collapses) - which makes 'Digimon Adventure tri.' collide with the 'This article needs your LOVE' and 'Featured Image' sections. I think quick solutions would either be to reduce the series logo widths, or to split them across more rows.
Just thought I'd let you guys know :) Kirkburn (talk) 16:03, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

Please fix this template here[]
I copied this over from another wikia. It's being used quite a bit on other wikis. What you are supposed to do is put this template at the head of a page and any related pages. For example, put it in the page for Taichi "Tai" Kamiya and also in Gallery:Taichi "Tai" Kamiya. On other wikis their layout is different, and I need to ask somebody to 'tidy' the template up so we can use it here without having to move all the related pages ("Gallery:Page name" to "Page name/Gallery"). This template makes navigating pages easier. Ggctuk (talk) 08:16, September 15, 2015 (UTC)

Is IMDb a valid source for citation?[]
This is mainly concerning a recent edit in Enter Flamedramon, mentioning a change in the English dub voice actor for T.K., but I thought I'd make it a general question. Also, how can we find sources for things like dubbing changes, like here? Wouldn't we have to find actual scripts, video clips or something like that? THB → Talk ← 11:59, July 12, 2016 (UTC)
- IMDB reported at one point that James Earl Jones was the VA for Aqua of Kingdom Hearts, so no, we cannot take them as a source.
- Chris McFeely was in personal contact with a lot of the voice actors, so I think it's fair to take him and his listing as a primary source. We can also cite VA social media, the credits themselves, and artist websites.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 18:40, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

- I wouldn't be against doing this minor partners in general though we would need to devise a format for it. Chimera-gui (talk) 19:00, September 16, 2016 (UTC)
- Fair enough - I imagine DigiDestined articles could just have a section called "Partner", with a similar format to the "Other forms" section in Digimon character articles. (For the major partners of course, there would just be a link to their own articles - or maybe omit the section altogether.) THB → Talk ← 19:47, September 16, 2016 (UTC)
- Omitting it altogether would probably be better for major partners since they tend to have enough info to justify their own page.

Profiles[]
I've had the idea for a profile name space, in order to help keep track of which profiles we've gotten translated and which ones are still left to do but also in order to help keep track of who is translating what. My thinking is that it would be something like profile: Digivice burst/Agumon and then we'd have directories for each game that combine the subpages, and then also directories for each character that combined the subpages. We would also I think put the actual Japanese text in the sub page, as well as pending and complete translations that we would comment out like we do with regular texts that's still being out of it and this way we'd be able to have all of that on the internet without an available for access without having stuff like my losing my documents on my computer and causing a huge bottleneck. If you guys are cool with that then we can talk to Wiki about getting that means base installed and then I will make a commitment to start moving everything I have on my computer and use your space over and we can also work on porting over the translations that are at wikimon preferably though doing the last available translation done by one of our editors and noting any changes that wikimon has chosen to do.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 19:33, February 10, 2017 (UTC)

Episode 'Synopsis' section + other re-standardization[]
Okay, I'm willing to take the blame for this since I oversaw a lot of the standardization of episode articles in the past, but this has been bothering me recently. It occurs to me now that the 'Synopsis' section is less of a synopsis and more the entire plot of the episode. In fact, the bold paragraph at the start of the article is probably closer to what a synopsis is supposed to be - i.e. a brief summary of the plot.
Therefore, I wondered if we should adjust the standard to change 'Synopsis' to 'Plot'. At the same time, perhaps we should move the initial bold paragraph into it's own section and call that section 'Synopsis', then change the initial paragraph to a more typical article preamble. I've whipped up an example here to clarify (just in the first couple of sections, ignore the rest of the page).
...Any thoughts? I've been meaning go through and tweak the episode articles for a while now, so I am keen to hear any suggestions on where we can update or improve the standard. THB → Talk ← 16:01, May 5, 2017 (UTC)

- it was, yes. to avoid extra coding when it comes to things like video game chapters, and tri's differing art style with all the Tri digimon having new toei arts due to its new art style. using toei art for video games wouldn't make sense when toei have nothing to do with games and so as bandai own the IP, using bandai art will always be accurate rather than having to have a big coding mess for video game, manga, live action etc articles.Marcusbwfc (talk) 01:47, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

"のデータから生まれた", or "born from the data of", is used in a few profiles.
- Nezhamon: An Android Digimon with control over flame, Nezhamon was born from the data of a certain young god from Chinese legend.
- Cendrillmon: A Mega Digimon born of data from the fairy tale "Cinderella."
- Erlangmon: A Deity Digimon born from the data of a certain warrior from Chinese legend.
- Takutoumon: A Deity Digimon born from the data of a certain warrior from Chinese legend.
- Reapermon: Reapermon is a fugitive Digimon born from the data of a list of wanted criminals.
For the three Chinese ones, the phrasing obfuscates who the basis of the design is, but their name does not. "A certain" is "とある", which can also be "written of in" (i.e., "a warrior written of in Chinese legend".), but in all of its other uses in the profiles it has the "certain" sense that indicates it's a reference to something (which may be real).
- Shroudmon: "Shroudmon is a Wizard Digimon that Digivolved when a certain Digimon surpassed its limits while undergoing extreme training. " (probably Boutmon)
- Matadrmon: "Born from a certain museum’s folk dance database, Matadormon is a master of the unique Bulldog dance." (maaaaybe https://nfo-usa.com/the-history-of-the-nfo/ or https://www.internationalfolkart.org/)
- Gaioumon: "Found in an (certain) abandoned computer in the East, much of its strength has yet to be quantified, but it clearly has an unbelievable amount of combat experience earned through countless battles." (probably fictional)
- Firamon: "Firamon is a helpful leader among Digimon who protects certain ruins in the Digital World." (probably fictional)
- Omekamon: "A Puppet Digimon born from a certain computer’s design drawing data.", "Omekamon supposedly found this pen in the drawing software of a certain computer." (I'm assuming the pen comes from one of these).
- Ravemon: "Ravemon served (certain) Deity Digimon as the Silver Crow at the creation of the Digital World, but it was struck by God’s anger and had one of its wings dyed black as a result." (reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronis_(lover_of_Apollo), so the Deity Digimon is implicitly Apollomon)
- KoKabuterimon: "That being said, it is rather powerful, having apparently lifted Tortomon up during the experimentation of a certain research institution." (sounds like there was some viral video of a rhino beetle lifting a turtle in a lab test, but I can't find it)
- Shaujinmon: "Shaujinmon is calm and collected, and a certain DigiCore is sealed among the nine beads on its necklace." (Sha Wujing has a necklace of skulls (muṇḍamālā) from nine slain monks, which by some sources includes one of Sanzo's last incarnations)
I would like to suggest we replace "certain young god from Chinese legend" and "certain warrior from Chinese legend" with Nezha, Erlang Shen, and Li Jing as appropriate, based on how we cut through bush-beating with the Shoutmon X line, Vulcanusmon customers, and similar. However, since these are external references and not internal lore being obfuscated, I need to get consensus.
For Ravemon, now that I recognize the legend being referenced, I'm hesitantly suggesting we specify it as Apollomon. For Shaujinmon, that sounds like it being a reference to a Sanzomon DigiCore. Unlike Vulcanusmon, these references rely on familiarity with mythology external to Digimon, so it's less black-and-white. If we don't agree that it is definitely meant to be Apollomon and Sanzomon, then I would like to at least include a refnote explaining the bits of mythology that those lines are based on.
Shroudmon's profile appears to be referencing Boutmon or, in a more general sense, Pulsemon. It's an internal reference but cutting through the bush would turn it into a DW:EVOLVE-valid citation, which I'm not sure is legit -- although it could safely be said to be a Pulsemon evolution, I think.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 14:36, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- I am against saying theyre digimon who hadnt debuted yet. apollomon did not exist when this lore was made, same for sanzomon. shroudmon is too vague for me. its meant to refer to any lv5 digimonMarcusbwfc (talk) 17:22, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- while they didn't formally exist, like Vulcanusmon, the framework for them was there. Shawujinmon existing and referencing a digimon standin for Sanzo anticipated Sanzomon, and Mercurymon/Neptunemon/Minervamon existing prior to Ravemon sets the stage for Apollomon. I view it as equivalent to Vespamon.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 00:41, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- Vespamon was specficlaly name dropped. I don't want us to invent connections based on irl lore. we see theyre not always matching, like Lilithmon and Babramon in the demon lords instead of Asmodeusmon and Mammon. Also combining Vaiśravaṇa/Li Jing and Di-Jiang/Hundun. we cant just decide digimon stuff matches irl lore like this. if anything, they leave it vauge to allow anything to fit (supposely the ultra digimon that daemon wants to revive in new century is dijiangmon? so that lore can fit many guys)Marcusbwfc (talk) 13:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Asmodeusmon and Mammon aren't a similar situation here -- we're not hypothesizing the existence of new Digimon based on gaps in a set. The profile told us there was a specific Digimon (and in Ravemon's profile, even gives its Type), it just doesn't name it. We're specifically told a Digimon exists here, it's just not explicitly named -- so what we'd be doing is using the lore to identify it as an existing Digimon. It's closer to using the card game to fill in the Seekers gaps. We can leave it out if that's the consensus, but that means that technically we have an "unnamed God Man Digimon species" article we could make based on Ravemon's entry.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 17:52, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Haven't dug into it yet, looks like some sort of phonegame crossover.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 20:32, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- its one of the many gacha games theyve had an event with during adventure's 25th anniversary. theyve done a million of them. theyre not really wroth covering outside of a "digimon cross over" pageMarcusbwfc (talk) 21:15, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Discrepancy with Digimon Tamers English airdates[]
So I was working on adding missing episode release dates to the Selected anniversaries pages. As I was cross-referencing, I saw that some of Digimon Tamers episodes' English airdates differed between what the episode page says and what the anniversary template says. Other sources like Wikipedia and Wikimon also disagree with each other on when they aired. Any ideas on how to reconcile this?
- The List of Digimon Tamers episodes matches with the selected anniversaries template, but not the individual episode pages.
