message: the same as how we're standardizing the digimon article's layout, I think we should apply this same logic to the human character articles as well. -- Ned Scott 02:50, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As faras human goes, I think concatenation of the relevant sections (e.g. drama cds, movies) and agreement on the images we'll use is more important than layout itself,if only because overall there's less information the article needs to carry Circeus 13:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: aye, that was what I ment by layout :)  --Ned Scott 19:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  character articles 

message: I noticed we now have a List of Digimon episodes.  I was wondering if we should split this up by series as well (but still make it a separate page from the main articles).  Along with info such as original air dates and maybe even if the episode was ever released on VHS, etc (since a handful were).  As well, really try to keep the article a list, and not get filled up by tons of notes made for each episode.
This could also become a problem for the series articles as well, so in addition I think a "detailed plot" article for each series may be the solution, such as the one found here Eureka Seven#Plot Overview.  The separate article allows fans to dive deeper and get more detailed without cluttering up the main article. --Ned Scott 22:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Whatever we end up doing, I don't think the serie is dense enough in material to allow for separate episode articles. As much as possible we want to keep the Digimon articles cruft-free. Circeus 22:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I definitely agree, separate episode articles should not be encouraged.  Hopefully that will be something a detailed story article will also prevent, giving a place for those kinds of notes. -- Ned Scott 05:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And then I look at Little People (Dilbert episode)and I go "damn... We could do better" *shakes head*. I just might come around to it, but right now, I think there's more important stuff to do. Circeus 18:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "sub pages/ articles" for series articles 

message: Although I feel that our main priority right now should be the more anime-related articles..
*main and secondary characters
:extremely similar Digimon (creature) articles, such as Agumon and Agumon X I think could be merged together.
:and maybe even some baby type forms that always lead to the same 'mon, such as Botamon and (even more of a maybe) Koromon to be merged with their more common form Agumon.  although koromon and agumon are probably bad examples, since they're all apart of a main character 'mon.  but for lesser characters, I think this might make sense.
*non-anime, non-manga, or other wise very minor characters
:and in light of a current issue (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Solarmon (2nd nomination), I think we might want to find and deal with such articles.  Also, in all reality, some of these digimon articles probably do need to be deleted.  As much of a fan of digimon that I am, I know it's not our own personal fansite.  That doesn't mean that this information must be lost, there are many other digimon wiki-like web sites out there too that we can use to fit every tiny little detail.  Basically, if a 'mon isn't mentioned in one of the anime series or mangas, or isn't a major factor in a game, then it probably shouldn't be on wikipedia.  or I should say, it shouldn't have it's own article.
*possible plan of action
:For the short term, at least, I think we should go through the articles and come up with a list, possibly tag with a category like an "endangered species" list of articles that are as empty as solarmon, etc.
:Maybe even making a second layout different from the new standards-to-be like Agumon and make a second layout that will allow more than one minor digimon to be on the page.
these are just thoughts floating around in my head right now, sorry for the long post :) -- Ned Scott 05:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: not to pick on the Agumon article, it just just the first one to come to mind.  that article is looking awesome, by the way. -- Ned Scott 05:19, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  is it possible to merge some digimon (monster) articles? 

message: *List of Chosen Digimon
:instead of having this list, why don't we tag the articles they link to with a category and then use the category listing? -- Ned Scott 06:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  un-needed lists 

message: Should the DNA Digivolution be included in the NORMAL Digivolution line or should a seperate section be created. - plau
:they seem to only really be apart of Digimon Adventure 02 and some of the card games.  and since they require a second 'mon, I'd say it wouldn't be apart of their normal process. -- Ned Scott 09:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  DNA Digivolution 

message: I've rewritten Veemon, but for the life of me, I can't make enough sense of the section about the two first movies in the Digimon Adventure 02 to write it in. Can somebody have a look in that? Circeus 20:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Movie stuff 

message: Should someone create a Digimon Portal. Discuss - Plau
:you mean a main article that will logically lead into all the other digimon-related areas?  hopefully that is what Digimon (and in some small part it's infobox) will be. -- Ned Scott 03:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He means a Portal, like Portal:Anime and manga. Shiroi Hane 05:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Portal:Digimon 

message: created plot summary articles to reduce / prevent individual episode articles. So far I did a quick article with Digimon Frontier plot summary, and merged End of the Line (Digimon) to it.  What do you guys think of this idea?  likes, dislikes? -- Ned Scott 20:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Like, though we mioght want to refer events by the precise episode they occured in. (Gosh, I,ve been very slowing up with my work in the project, I'd better kick in more XD) Circeus 20:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: plot summary articles

message: I and user:Fractyl seem to have a disagreement over content. Fractyl has been adding non-canon evolutions to the 01/02 digimon articles for a while, and has been rather consistently reverted, but he still insist on inserting mention of AncientGarurumon in Gabumon. Circeus 22:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: if it's non-canon to both card game and anime, as it would currently seem, then he's just adding fan speculation.  I'll add a note on his talk page to stop the speculation edits, so he knows it's not just you that thinks that way. -- Ned Scott 04:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I dunno about the cardgame, but even then, discussion of the mega in the Rookie article? Inappropriate. Gabumon might evolve to just about any mega, AFAIK Circeus 14:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Issues

message: It seems illogical to me that after having given the 5 TV series and also the games separate pages of their own, that the manga storylines remain on the Franchise page.  V-Tamer, for example, did run to 58 chapters and that is about the same length as a series.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.92.127 (talk • contribs) 
:well, it's actually only been recently that the TV series were separated.  if you wish to do something about it then I encourage you to make the articles yourself, and perhaps even make an account and join this WikiProject.  -- Ned Scott 04:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
