→New Idea: P.S.
: I'm for it. Use the Bible name space to present the broadest accepted canon, and add pages that describe the variations. Each page showing text from disputed books can include a disclaimer to the effect that "Not all Christians include this book in the Bible. See _whatever_ for clarification." I believe that inclusivity in that regard will encourage wider participation, and hence make WikiChristian a larger and more active community. [[User:MatthewClarke|Matt]] 04:41, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
::I think both Graham and Matt have good points... But personally (and that's just personally), I would like Matt's idea to be implemented. The problem with leaving the deuterocanonical writings in the "Text" name-space is that when Christians of either the Catholic or Orthodox branches go to look for their Scriptures they'll almost assuredly try typing something like "Bible:Judith" in the search bar, which will of course just lead them to a blank page. They'll then assume that WikiChristian only caters to/supports Protestantism and they'll leave the site. Even if everyone's against the disclaimer idea, I still think that we could at least upload the whole Deuterocanon (both the Catholic and Orthodox books) and simply create a redirect page in the Bible name-space leading to the Text name-space. On a side note, I think Graham's right when he says the Statement of Faith doesn't need to be changed. -- [[User:P.B. Pilhet|P.B. Pilhet]] / [[User talk:P.B.
