What do you think? Should we have the Random article in the side-bar? I not sure it serves a useful purpose in WikiChristian, particularly since it is usually going to land on a Bible verse. What are people's votes? My vote is let's remove it. --[[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] 09:39, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
:I have no problem with the removal of it. I just thought it would help a visitor navigate WikiChristian better, even if it does lead to bible verses. Who knows? A visitor may just want to read random bible verses. Heh, heh.

:: That's a fair point about people wanting to read a random Bible verse. Let's hear what others think. Thanks. --[[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] 11:36, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
::: Let me supply a technical point: What is there was a way to separate out all the verses and have Random-Verse and Random-Article? Such a thing is possible, but would involve us deliberately making the Bible system here along very certain lines. Would that be desirable? --[[User:Aquatiki|Aquatiki]] 11:54, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
::::That would be nice, but could we even accomplish doing that? I don't think it's possible. -- [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">Ryan†Cross</font>]] ('''''[[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">talk</font>]]''''') 11:57, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
::::: Well, I didn't want to get into technical minutiae, but you asked for it! We would need to put all the verse pages into their own ''namespace''. This would mean would wouldn't have [[John 3:16]] but <code>Bible:John 3:16</code>. Then you could go to <code><nowiki>[[Special:Random/Bible]]</nowiki></code>. Right now, if you go to [[Special:Random]], it takes you somewhere new in the ''main namespace''. You can test drive this right now my going to [[Special:Random/Template]] and seeing a random template. --[[User:Aquatiki|Aquatiki]] 12:11, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
::::::I know it ''is'' possible, but it's not possible ''now''. By the way, that would take a lot of work to do... not to mention deleting all the other pages (which I think is what we do after). -- [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">Ryan†Cross</font>]] ('''''[[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">talk</font>]]''''') 12:13, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
:::::::: You should see our discussion over on [[WikiChristian:Bible]] (Graham G's and mine). We're contemplating doing a major overhaul. Graham saw what I'd done on my own wiki ([http://reformedword.org]) and asked me to come over here and contribute in our little ecumenical circle! Anyway, if we plan now, we can use bots to do all the leg work for us. --[[User:Aquatiki|Aquatiki]] 12:19, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
:::::::::Yeah, I suppose the bots will do it for us. I'll take a look at [[WikiChristian:Bible]]. And by the way, [[User:P.B. Pilhet]] is an administrator and bureaucrat here. ;) -- [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">Ryan†Cross</font>]] ('''''[[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">talk</font>]]''''') 12:24, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
::::Thank you, Ryan ;) As for the random article feature, my preference would be to leave it up. But whatever the community as a whole wants is fine with me :) -- [[User:P.B. Pilhet|P.B. Pilhet]] / [[User talk:P.B. Pilhet|Talk]] 17:10, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
