[edit] Usage
This template can be invoked as follows:
- {{Buddhism}} — transcludes the entire template as shown here.
- {{Buddhism|collapsed=1}} — transcludes this template so that it is initially collapsed.
- {{Buddhism|terse=1}} — transcludes a condensed template with only subject headers.
One of the latter methods (including the "collapsed" or "terse" parameter) is recommended for stubs and other short articles. Alternately, one could use the "footer" version of this template:
- {{Buddhism2}}
[edit] Color scheme
The color scheme of this page is based on the varied colors of monastic robes including:
-
- the burgundy robes with yellow highlights of Tibetan monastics
- the black, Confucian, robes of Zen monastics, and Shin ministers
- the saffron/ochre robes of Theravada monastics
- the white robes of postulants and lay devotees
[edit] Sources
Wikipedia's policy on verifiability states:
- "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article."
The main article and set of related citations for this template's content is Buddhism. Questions about the reliability or accuracy of this template's concepts should be addressed on that article's talk page. Questions about this template's organzation should be first addressed on this template's talk page.
Since this template is transcluded by dozens of Wikipedia pages and its content is the result of an on-going communal effort, the best way to ensure the long-term acceptance of any proposed change is to first gain consensus for the proposed change on the aforementioned talk pages prior to making the actual change here.
