Template talk:Infobox theological work

Suppress "Theological Work" heading when no content

The "Theological Work" heading shows up even when there is nothing under than heading. Is there a way to make it not show up if there is nothing there? --JFH (talk) 04:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Date of birth

The doc now advises use of {{birth date and age}}, which requires a full date. However, as per WP:DOB the exact birth date should normally not be included in articles about living people unless it is widely published already, or has clearly been published with the approval of the person. Many editors seem to be automaically following this documetation and inserting full dates of birth where they should not. I have now included a warning about this and a suggestion to use {{birth year and age}} in the doc. DES ^(talk) 20:10, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Religion and denomination

Now that |religion= and |denomination= are going to be removed from {{infobox person}}, a solution needs to be found for templates such as {{infobox clergy}} which depend on {infobox person}. At the same time, the templates that transclude this one as a module/embedded template such as {{infobox theologian}} don't seem to implement |religion= or |denomination=, which seems odd given the modern broadening of the meaning of "theologian" beyond just Christianity.

One solution might be to implement |religion= and |denomination= in this template, and use it as a module inside other templates, such as {{infobox clergy}}, where it would be able to supply the missing parameters as well as more specific information about the person's theological work. I would also parameterise |title= (defaulting to "Theological work"), allowing it to be modified or suppressed on a per-article basis. What do others think? --RexxS (talk) 20:46, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
