: 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. Pilhet|Talk]] 06:05, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
::: I like Justin's compromise idea a lot of uploading the Deuterocanon into the Text namespace and then redirecting Bible:... namespace to the Text:.... namespace. I think it's also important to hear Prab's view before we make any changes regarding this. --[[User:Graham grove|Graham]] 15:30, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I agree, Prab should definitely have a say in what we do regarding this. -- [[User:P.B. Pilhet|P.B. Pilhet]] / [[User talk:P.B. Pilhet|Talk]] 19:20, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
==Something has changed in the templates==
I see a few page layout problems today:
* InfoBoxes don't have a border
* Tables don't have borders
* The left pane has two search controls (the first of which is inoperable)
Anyone know why? Can anyone fix it?

:In [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] evrything seems to be ok.... as far as the search thingy... and I'll look into the borders...~[[User:Darth Stabro|Darth Stabro]] <sub>~[[User_talk:Darth Stabro|(Talk)]]</sub><sup>[[Special:Contributions/Darth_Stabro|(contribs)]]</sup> 06:01, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
The duplicated search control has now gone. Thanks. But any news on the table borders? As you know, I've been working on [[Biblical_references_to_technology]] for a while, and it is very difficult to scan now that there is no line between rows and that the vertical alignment is middle rather than top.
