WikiChristian is currently undergoing a major re-organization and clean-up to make it more useful and well organized. This has included creating the "Bible" and "Text" name-space. Please help out if you have time. It is important to understand the basic principles of the organizational layout of WikiChristian - this can be found at WikiChristian:Page Layout.

The following list keeps track of these organizational changes

Easton's Bible Dictionary Changes

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.

This is a major task as there are thousands of Easton Bible Dictionary entries. Unfortunately we do not currently know how to make an automated process to perform these moves and so they need to be performed manually.

Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible

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 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 pages that need deleting can be found at Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (text) and its links.

Bible Commentaries and Referencing

The Bible has been uploaded verse by verse and there are now verse pages for every verse and chapter pages for every chapter. A number of changes have occurred regarding how Bible passages are referenced and displayed. Details about this can be found at WikiChristian:Bible. One of the long-term goals of WikiChristian is to have a well written commentary for every verse and chapter. In the shorter term a number of clean-ups need to be performed. These include

  • All pages named Name of page (WEB) should be deleted
  • All pages named Name of page (Greek) should be deleted
  • 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
