Template talk:Jew list
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm not terribly comfortable with the name of this template. It does sound terribly like the sort of language used by anti-semites. What about Lists of Jews? Am I being over-sensitive? RachelBrown 09:54, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
- IMHO, yes. After all, I named it, and I'm pretty obviously Jewish. It was named to be "short and sweet". It does plausibly sound like something antisemites would say, but I doubt this kind of list is the sort of thing they'd have in mind when they said it. :-p Template:JewHist-stub exists, why not Template:Jew list?

[edit] Infobox?
I think this template is very useful, but I think it is somewhat disruptive to the flow of the pages it is on. For example, on List of Jewish superheroes, unless a user edits the page, the reader doesn't know that it is boilerplate. Would anybody have an objection if I converted it into more of an infobox format (not changing any of the text)? --Arcadian 20:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Less intrusive
This infobox is really overpowering in some articles where I have seen it. For some short article, the disclaimer/explanation is practically as long as that article itself... that's probably an overstatement, but since the box is at the top, it seems that way. FWIW, the content itself seems fine to me.
Do editors here think there's any chance of working out something more visually discrete? Maybe a box that is just a couple lines, but that links to a full explanation similar to what is in this template? Or possibly a sidebar with all the words, but that doesn't prevent readers from starting to read the text at the top, while still noting the details of the meanings of "jewish" in the right margin?

[edit] Purpose
What is the purpose of this template? Can you provide examples of use? Sorgor 14:30, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- If you go back to the template page you can click on "what links here" to see a list of articles which use the template. -Willmcw 16:40, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
