Template talk:Infobox Religious group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template seems ill-suited for its purpose. Many modern religions are quite international in language and scope. If this were applied to Christianity, for example, I think it would convey almost no useful information whatsoever. It might be nice to create a template like this, but the language and country categories are not usually useful. Perhaps replace with the country of religion's founding.

[edit] Colors

Oh sweet Mary mother of Jesus, the colors of this infobox are absolutely, positively horrible! I'm definitely going to change them, any objections? --ざくら木 14:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do!--Doron 20:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Actually I like the current colors a lot. Maybe we should have a vote on the matter? Thanks --Lanternix 01:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
A voting? Well, Wikipedia is not a democracy... IMO the current colors really don't work, at all. The colors of the first version were better. --ざくら木 13:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
So you're suggesting disregarding other people's opinions, imposing your own? --Lanternix 17:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
No no, we should discuss this. --ざくら木 18:20, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree - the colours are just too bright. It needs to be changed. → AA (talk • contribs) — 14:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Current consensus seems to be in favour of a change. → AA (talk • contribs) — 14:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I guess I can't object of most of you guys are in favor of a change then. What colors do you propose? --Lanternix 00:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

How about the current one? → AA (talk) — 08:41, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Not a big fan of the current one, but I'll wait and see what others think. --Lanternix 14:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founder

Anyone agree that "founder" or "founded by" should be added? Funkynusayri 12:28, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Can you give examples? Like Christianity founded by Jesus and Islam founded by Muhammad? --Lanternix 14:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, like that. Maybe the country where it was founded too. Funkynusayri 14:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I added it. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 01:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Put this on religion pages?

Should we put this template on pages like Christians, Christianity, Muslims, Islam, Buddhism, etc? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 01:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Such articles usually have their own templates. FunkMonk (talk) 01:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
