Bias towards Latin law; non-coverage of Oriental law

Is there anyone familiar with Oriental/Eastern canon law? The wiki articles on general principles of canon law applicable to the West and East generally only cover the West. Also, most articles that reference "Catholic canon law" are really referring to Latin Catholic canon law. I only have a sufficient command of Latin law, but this is a wiki-wide problem.

New template for citing canons

I made a new template for citing canons found on vatican.va that only requires a canon number as a parameter. I am asking for comments about how to improve it before moving it out of user space. It can be seen at User:BoBoMisiu/template:CIC1983. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 20:10, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I moved the draft into template space {{CIC1983}}. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 23:26, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Cool! Thanks for that! Canon Law Junkie §§§ Talk 08:40, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to make a similar template for the IntraText edition of the 1917 CIC. This would be convenient in making citations of that version more consistent with each other and with citations of the 1983 version. Any thoughts? I'm just a regular guy, no JCL or anything like that. --KnockTroy (talk) 19:44, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

@KnockTroy: I am not sure if it would be useful, as I have never seen the 1917 CIC being quoted anywhere on WP en. Veverve (talk) 21:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

@Veverve: Reason I ask is because I made identical edits to Josyf Slipyj and Lubomyr Husar which required a citation of CIC17, so I checked the project page and saw an online CIC17 and the '83 template, but no such template for 17. Probably right that it's not necessary, though. KnockTroy (talk) 22:10, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

@KnockTroy: If you feel it can be helpful, feel free to create the template you proposed. Veverve (talk) 22:16, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Catholicism/Canon law Task Force → Wikipedia:WikiProject Catholicism/Catholic canon law task force – The capital letters for "canon" and "law" were unjustified. As for adding "Catholic", it is to clearly state that this task force is only focused on one canon law - i. e. the Catholic canon law -, and not on canon law in general which would include canon laws of other churches. Veverve (talk) 21:41, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
EDIT: see also the discussion I have had here as to why it seems necessary to rename the task force. Veverve (talk) 20:18, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

This seems like it could be reasonable resolved with a discussion inside WikiProject Catholicism, for as it will only affect said WikiProject I doubt the broader community would object to whatever you decide. However, as I am here, I would say that I consider the addition of "Catholic" to be redundant (the fact that it deals with Catholic canon law is made clear by the project name), and I have no opinion on the capitalization. BilledMammal (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

@BilledMammal: an admin has opposed the speedy renaming of the categories which depend on this task force until said task force is renamed to what I proposed, see here. Also, I think it is not redundant, as it is possible for the WP Catholicism to have a task force dedicated to canon law in general and not only to Catholic canon law. Veverve (talk) 07:05, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

For the record, I withdrew my opposition to speedy renaming, as it was overtaken by a course of events in good faith. I agree that the renaming is desirable anyway, to distinguish from a potential task force dedicated to canon law in general, which would be a task force of WikiProject Christianity rather than WikiProject Catholicism. – Fayenatic London 21:10, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

• Support. Redundant words are not a problem, and there are many precedents for their use, e.g. some of the task forces in Category:WikiProject Military history task forces repeat the words "military history". The proposed move would give valid grounds for renaming the assessment categories from "Canon law" to "Catholic canon law". – Fayenatic London 05:37, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support No need for parsing, as WikiProject participants are entitled to very broad deference in naming their project whatever they think best advances the goal of collectively creating the encyclopedia. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:09, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Edits I Made to the Article on Tametsi

The article on Tametsi showed up in one the list of suggested articles for me to edit. Since I am rather new to Wikipedia, I do not know if I did the edits correctly so I would appreciate it if someone could look over them. Thanks in advance! LaivineOrodrim (talk) 14:18, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
