[edit] Wikiproject Slogan boxes (Explanatory)

Slogans Proposed 6-12-2007. Consensus needs to be made, before using these templates too much. Users: please check Main Mythology Wikiproject talk page and help us reach a consensus before we apply them:

[edit] slogan for general purpose

{{Myth box}}

Articles about Mythology:
In its broadest academic sense, the word "myth" simply means a traditional story, whether true or false. (—OED, Princeton Wordnet) Unless otherwise noted, the words "mythology" and "myth" are here used for sacred and traditional narratives, with no implication that any belief so embodied is itself either true or false.


[edit] Slogan for articles about a named religion & mythology (i.e. Christian mythology)

{{Myth box religion}}

Note on religion and mythology:
In its academic sense, the word myth simply means "a traditional story", whether true or false. (—OED, Princeton Wordnet) Unless otherwise noted, the words mythology and myth are here used for sacred and traditional narratives, with no implication that any belief so embodied is itself either true or false.

It is proposed that other religons follow these template examples, quoting a respected member of that religion for how myth is viewd to that religion. Goldenrowley 05:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sample Mythboxes

[edit] At bottom of page, horizontal

These are ideal for shorter articles; on longer articles the navbox can be viewed only after scrolling down to the end of the article.

[edit] Norse myth - Salleman's

A right aligned box could interfere with pictures and so on, therefore I propose a centered box at the bottom of the page like the template {{NorseMythology}}. Every mythology could then have an individual color scheme and religious symbol. The general layout of the boxes can of course be discussed.


[edit] Roman myth - Bacchiad's

See discussion for more info. At right is the {{Roman myth}} template. I've also created a Template:Greek myth (currently unused) and a Template:Greek myth (big) (currently on the Greek Mythology page, unless someone reverts my edit).


[edit] At top of page, vertical

These are ideal for longer articles; on shorter articles the navbox could add extra blank space.
