[edit] Again, Not Ready for Prime Time

Much as what happened with the Paganism template made by the same user, this template has problems. I'm moving it here rather than MfD-ing or Prodding it. However, even if the POV issues and odd choices are dealt with, something like this would need consensus before broad application. In the future, if you want to improve it and add it to articles, please seek consensus on the talk page of those individual articles before adding it. Do not spam this onto any page with "Neopagan" in it. Some of the articles you added it to find some of the content in this template offensive, and do not want to be categorized in this manner. Thanks. - Kathryn NicDhàna 19:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Category:Religion and belief-related navigation templates


It took me a while to make this, and I wouldn't have made it if I didn't think that we needed aNeo-Pagan template. I'm sure we do. I will agree though perhaps it needs editing. I propose that this edited version be used instead, that has only the bare essentials of listing the Neo-Pagan faiths and related things.

Kathryn, you can be of several minds regarding the usefulness of topical templates in general. But this one really isn't any worse than any of the others that have been in widespread use for months or years. I do support a compromise solution, and am restoring the proposed "bare essentials" version suggested by Midnightblueowl. I would also like to insist that the template should only be added to major "Neopaganism" topics, not systematically to each and every neopagan sub-topic. dab (𒁳) 11:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neopaganism and fascism

why was this removed? The topic is of rather higher notability than the "Reclaiming" or "Discrimination" articles, which remain linked in plain view apparently without anyone objecting. Due to recent developments of the scope at Neo-fascism and paganism, we could however remove Neopaganism and the New Right, which is at present merely a redirect to a section which has as its main article Neo-fascism and paganism (discussion in progress at Talk:Neo-fascism and paganism). dab (𒁳) 15:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree that a link to this should be kept, as long as it related specifically to Neo-Paganism, which at the moment I'm not so sure that this article does. (Midnightblueowl (talk) 16:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Talk page for all templates relating to this topic

Several templates have recently been produced and added to pages within this general area, namely:

I'm a bit concerned that this profusion has taken place without much discussion from editors who work on these articles. Some articles could conceivably be tagged with 3 or 4 of these templates: indeed, Wicca already has three. I mean no criticism of the creators of the templates - but I suggest that this should be discussed centrally so that there is a degree of uniformity in articles within the same family. If you would like to join this discussion, please do not reply here, but go instead to the talk page I have set up for this purpose. Many thanks! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 23:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Natib Qadish

Natib Qadish is missing. Maybe it is not considered very important, because very few people belong to that faith, but hey! very few people belong to pagan faiths. At least consider including it. Thank you Alejandro Alatorre Vargaslugo (talk) 04:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
