Religious leaders discussion from Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals

Description: Many religious leaders, particularly founders of new faiths, arise from an existing religious tradition. However, the wikipedia content relating to this figures will generally be added in primarily by adherents of the faith the person founded, not those from the faith s/he arose from. On that basis, I am proposing a group which I anticipate would be a work group of either (or both?) WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Religion to help ensure that these articles are addressed in a comprehensive and NPOV manner.

3. John Carter 23:19, 23 April 2007 (UTC) - We definitely need a biography group for religious figures.
4. I would definitely support this as a task force of WP:Religion and WP:WPBIO, and help out as I am able. Perhaps it would help if we could first come up with a definite scope - i.e., what classifies a person as a "religious leader" (for our purposes). Pastordavid 18:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Comments:'

1. I agree and think this is very important and needs to be put in place in order to help facilitate others having a better understanding of different religions and cultures. Scifiintel 23:08, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
2. I suppose we could use the functional definition of those affiliated with the "clerical" professions (possibly including rabbis, priests, and other ministers) as well as the more obvious "lay leaders", although no examples of the latter come immediately to mind.

There is now a rough temporary project page listed above. I can't believe how complicated these biography pages are. But if the group does get formally recognized, I will do everything I can to fill it out. John Carter 22:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Name of project

This page is called "Religious leaders work group" but at the top it says "Religious figures" which is something entirely different. Can you tell me which it is? Walkerma (talk) 20:56, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

RfC - prefixes in article title of Eastern Orthodox officials

An RfC is currently open (Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(clergy)#naming_convention_associated_with_Eastern_Orthodox_officials) regarding the appropriateness of having position titles in the article title of religious Eastern Orthodox officials. Commentary would be welcomed, as the WP:NCWC talk page has a low level of activity.--Labattblueboy (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Ammended: The proposal currently tables is to remove of all prefix religious titles, positions and/or honours from the article title.--Labattblueboy (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2010 (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)
