:::::: The Ethiopians have a big "Bible" don't they! I'm glad you're happy with the ''Text'' name space. Yep, I think pages like [[Judith 1:1]] should redirect to [[Text:Judith 1:1]] which would follow a similar format to the Bible verse pages. I guess it'll get complicated deciding how to display the text itself. Do they all have a KJV? I imagine many of them won't have other translations that we one day may be able to add, such as the ESV and NIV. Do some have Latin translations, but not all? It would be nice to display at a minimum the original language and a modern English translation.
:::::: Also, once the text name space has been created, we should would work out how other texts / public domain books should be named. My preference I think is: "Text:Name of Book - Name of Section" - thus the "... (EBD)" pages would be renamed "Text:Easton's Bible Dictionary - ...". What is your preference? Once we've decided, is it possible to set up BotUm so that he moves all of the "... (EBD)" pages to the appropriate new name. Is it also possible to set up BotUm to delete all the "Mathew Henry Commentary:..." (and "Matthew Henry Commentary:..." - there is a mix, some with correct spelling of Matthew, and others with the incorrect spelling. Or should I delete these manually - there are about 250 pages. Alternatively we could keep them, but I'd vote for deleting them, and at a later date uploading the whole Matthew Henry Commentary in a nicer looking format. Finally, someone uploaded a book called [[God's Word to Women]] a few years ago - it has about 100 Lessons. Would it be possible to get BotUm to move all of these chapters into the appropriate "Text:God's Word to Women:Lesson ..." name? Or should I do that manually? There are a smattering of other smaller texts that have been uploaded over the years that I'll move over manually. --[[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] 04:37, 3 October 2008 (PDT)
 
:::::::# KJV made an appendix with all the texts of the Roman apocrypha. The Vulgate had a similar thing, only in the fifth century. The ASV/NRSV exists as a modern translation for the Roman stuff too.
:::::::# Looks like I need to figure out how to get the bot to move stuff! I haven't done that yet, but I will (after I made the chapter pages.). As far as naming convention, WikiMedia has built in support for naming pages that start with ''Whatever'' followed by a colon (see [[Special:Prefixindex]]), so I recommend (for ease of typing) [[Text:EBD:Example]]. For now, this'll have to be done manually, until I figure out how to do it bot-ly! --[[User:Aquatiki|Aquatiki]] 10:11, 3 October 2008 (PDT)
