The WikiChristian is currently undergoing a major re-organization and clean-up to make it more useful and well organized. Some of the key areas that are being addressed are:* Ensuring that it is easy to find information through following list keeps track hyperlinks, using categories and using the search button* Ensuring the pages are well written and easy to read but full of these organizational changesuseful information* Ensuring all the pages have a similar lay-out* Add youtube videos when relevant
===Easton's Bible Dictionary Changes===It is important to understand the basic principles of the organizational layout of WikiChristian - this can be found at [[WikiChristian:Page Layout]].
<s>[[Easton's Bible Dictionary]] is a public domain Bible Dictionary written in the nineteenth century. The index to all its entries can be found at [[Easton's Bible Dictionary Index]]. Previously the entries were named as follows: '''Name of entry (EBD)'''. However all entries should be renamed / moved as follows: '''Text:EBD:Name of Entry'''.==Removing Dead End Pages==
This Spam content in WikiChristian is a major task as there are thousands of Easton Bible Dictionary entries. Unfortunately we do often not currently know how linked to make an automated process from any other page. Thus to perform these moves and so they need find spam, follow this link to be performed manually.</s> Done at last - [[User:Kathleen.wright5|Kathleen.wright5]] 01:48, 18 November 2008 (UTC)get a list of 500 dead end pages in wikichristian
<strike-through>Parts of the public domain work the Matthew Henry Commentary of the Whole Bible was uploaded a number of years ago at WikiChristian. Unfortunately the upload was quite haphazard and appears messy. Also, some of the Commentary was named '''Mathew ...''' (with one t) and other was named '''Matthew ...''' (with two ts). The simplest approach to fixing We appreciate if these problems is to delete all the text pages related to the Matthew Henry Commentary. These can be reuploaded at a later date, but for the moment it is important to concentrate on deleting all the pages. The dead end pages that need deleting are considered spam can be found at [[Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (text)]] and its links.</strike-through> Done - [[User:Kathleen.wright5|Kathleenremoved from WikiChristian.wright5]] 09:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
===KJV Concordance===
<s>A small number of pages have been produced as part of an earlier project on KJV Concordance. The person who started this project ===Restoring Pages Attacked by Vandals=== WikiChristian was the sole contributor hit by vandalism and the project has not been touched for spam in an extreme way a number of yearsago. All "KJV Concordance" Some pages may still contain obscenities and these should be deletedcleaned up wherever found. At some future stage a project like this may be commenced again possibly using the ===Ambiguity about "TextDiscussion" name-space.</s>Done [[User:Kathleen.wright5|Kathleen.wright5]] 06:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)pages===

==WikiChristian needs your help==WikiChristian is currently undergoing the process of trying to revive. After a major refew years of shut-organization down and neglect because of an amazing amount of vandalism and clean-up spam, we've decided to make try and get it more useful up and well organizedactive again. This has included creating In order to ensure that WikiChristian gets all of the "Bible" spam cleaned up and "Text" name-space. Please kept away forever and to ensure that its mediawikia software remains fully uptodate, it would be wonderful to have some people with IT skills to help out if you have time. It is important to understand the basic principles Its founder and one of its chief editors [[User:Prab |Prab]] needs the organizational layout help of WikiChristian - experienced IT professional familiar with mediawiki and large databases.

===Bible Commentaries and Referencing=Deletion of bot created users== The Bible has There have been uploaded verse by verse and there are now verse pages for every verse and chapter pages for every chapter. A number tens of thousands of changes have occurred regarding how Bible passages are referenced and displayedspam users created. Details about this can be found at [[WikiChristian:Bible]]. One Prab has deleted most of the long-term goals of WikiChristian is to have a well written commentary for every verse and chapterthese. In the shorter term a number of clean-ups We need to be performedcontinue deleting these. These include*<s>All pages named '''Name of page (WEB)''' should be deleted</s> Were deleted earlier*<s>All pages named '''Name of page (Greek)''' should be deleted</s> Were deleted earlier* All books of the Bible should be have an Information Article about them which follows the same standard that can be seen at [[Genesis]] or [[Gospel of Matthew]]. * All pages that have the following text '''web_verse|name of book|chapter|verse''' or '''greek_verse|name of book|chapter|verse''' should be updated to the new referencing system of '''Bible verse|name of book|chapter|verse|lang=WEB''' or '''Bible verse|name of book|chapter|verse|lang=Greek'''
===Greek Words===
A [[Koine Greek]] dictionary can be found at [[Greek:Dictionary]]. Many of the entries do not meet the standard page layout for Information Articles described in [[WikiChristian:Page Layout]]. An example of a page that does meet this standard is [[Koine Greek:ΑγαπετοςΔοκιμαζω]]. Please help in updating the layout of all pages that do not meet WikiChristian's standard. This can be performed even if you do not read Greek.
Additionally, if you do know Greek you could perhaps help by adding content, in particular by adding tables of inflections. See [[Koine Greek:ΑγαπηΑγαθος]] for an article that does have a table of its infections. Additionally, it would be helpful to create redirects for all those inflections, for example [[Koine Greek:Αγαπης]] redirects should redirect to [[Koine Greek:Αγαπη]].
===Updating Old Information Pages===
There are a number of older pages that follow an older, uglier formatting used in WikiChristian not in line with the standard Information Articles described in [[WikiChristian:Page Layout]]. These pages often have a short ''Synopsis'' at the beginning of them. A list of these pages can be found by searching for [http://www.wikichristian.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=Synopsis&go=Go synopsis]. Please help update Many of these to are in the new WikiChristian standardGreek namespace section. The vast majority of these pages have been cleaned up by [[User:MatthewClarke|Matt]] but a few hundred still remain.
===Miscellaneous Texts===
There are a number of ancient and modern public domain texts that have been uploaded onto WikiChristian. If you come across a text that is not in the '''Text''' name-space then please move it to the following page '''Text:Name of Text'''. A number of texts need to be wikified or split up because they are too large. Lists of these texts can be found at [http://www.wikichristian.org/index.php/Category:Split Category:Split] and [http://www.wikichristian.org/index.php/Category:Cleanup Category:Cleanup] and information about exactly what needs to be done can be found at the relevant text's talk page.
WikiChristian has aimed to allow discussions and opinions be voiced. There are some pages that are a named '''Page Name (discussion)'''. These pages should be moved to the appropriate names, either Sermon:Page Name, Essay:Page Name or Opinion:Page Name,
===Restoring Pages Attacked by VandalsApologetics section===The following pages need to be restored since the May 21 to May 22 2009 vandal attack.
Is there any way to automatically add a link from the Bible verse pages to those apologetics pages? For instance, in [[Bible:Exodus_20:5]], could the Related Topics list include a link to [[Apologetics:_Exodus_20:5]]? Alternatively, is it worth the time for someone to do that manually?
Can anyone write bots to do any of the above?
===Books of the Bible===
Several Books do not have pages AFAIK: Book of Ezekiel, Book of Obadiah, Book of Joel are all missing.
Should also add an EBD link on each individual book of the Bible page. [[User:MatthewClarke|Matt]] 10:13, 30 August 2009 (PDT)
