'''WikiProject Buddhism''' is a group of people dedicated to improving [[Buddhism]]-related contents in Wikipedia. This page contains ''only'' suggestions: things to give you focus and to get you going and you ''should not'' feel obligated in the least to follow them. If you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the guidelines below may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!
<!-- This project uses a template for every section. It is therefore recommended not to modify this page but to modify the appropriate frame content directly through the "Edit" link found on the upper right of each frame. -->
This [[WikiPedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] aims primarily to promote better coordination, content distribution, and cross-referencing between pages dealing with Buddhism and its sects, texts, terms, philosophies, etc.
Currently active projects within the domain of [[WikiProject Buddhism]]... if you don't know where to start, one of these pages or sub-projects will welcome your input:

== Article Construction==
''Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject. Include various categories applicable to the topic.''
We should probably discuss article types, which may have different parameters. Example types might be:
===Texts===
Articles on texts should include:
* Authorship, if known. If the supposed authorship of a text is not established by scholarship, list it as an ''attribution'': "The text is attributed to such-and-such."
* Date
* Place of origin (if known)
* A rough overview of the contents of the text
* Separate sections for particularly important ideas in the text. Alternatively, short descriptions and links to articles on said ideas.
* Whatever caveats regarding disputes over readings of the text, etc.
* Associated sect(s) (Indicate, where appropriate, whether the text originated within the sect or was adopted by it after the fact.)
* A table of translations, like this one:

====Monastic Article Naming Conventions?====
I recently created and edited some articles about [[Thai Forest Tradition]] [[Category:Theravada Buddhist monks|Theravadin Buddhist monastics]]. And [[User:Nat_Krause]] was kind enough to clean up behind me a bit (redundant cats and redir [[Ayya Tataaloka Bhikkhuni]]=> [[Tataaloka]] after rm a title). I didn't realize that honorific titles are not used when naming an article about a monastic until I looked up [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles)#Clerical names]]. I had followed the naming of the many other articles on Theravadin monastics... which were mis-named. To prevent future confusion and re-work, I'd like to propose that we:
#Create and post article naming conventions for Buddhist monastics (I see that Tibetan titles have been discussed)
#Post the conventions on the [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles)]] page.
#Clean up the existing [[Category:Theravada Buddhist monks|Theravadin Buddhist monastics]] monastic article titles (e.g.: [[Bhikkhu Bodhi]]) to be consistent with <s>Nat's edit</s> the convention we choose. --- [[User:Deeb|Deebki]] 09:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC) (strikeout done 21:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC) [[User:Deeb|Deebki]])
'''Naming WITH Titles for Now: '''Following a discussion amongst several editors, the [[Thai Forest Tradition]] articles were named WITH the titles (e.g.: [[Bhikkhu Bodhi]] and [[Ayya Tathaaloka]]). It was decided that not using titles was simply insulting and culturally inpappropriate. For now, that is the convention our small group will use. I would like that to be consistent with other editors. Anyone interested in helping us shape a convention, perhaps for specific traditions (to remain culturally appropriate)? --[[User:Deeb|Deebki]] 21:53, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
:I note that [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles)#Clerical names]] seems to be based on Western Clergy. I'm trying to work out how to deal with the names of [[Tulku]]s. It could be seen as POV to give each incarnation a separate article - but a separate article and a succession box seems to be the sanest way of doing it. No-one knows them by their birth names - I think only the clerical name with a number will work. [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] 22:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
About titles: I would recommend using 'bhikkhu/bhiksu', 'bhikkhuni/ bhiksuni', samaner''a/i'' /sramaner''a/i''' as these are the basic, original classifications of monastics, and are ''not 'honorific' titles''. If anyone wants to use Chinese and Tibetan equivalents with these terms in brackets, that would also be fine. I assume the discussion is just about whether to include titles in the names of articles, not whether to include them in the body of an article, since in that case it seems obviously reasonable to use whatever title(s) they're conventionally known by in their own tradition? I used to be a monk too, and then I'd just use 'Bhikkhu Santi' as my name in general, because I wouldn't include 'Ven' or 'Bhante' when speaking with other monks, and since I couldn't vary my user name on inet forums etc I prefered to leave out the 'bhante'. And although this isn't NPOV, I think any monks or nuns who ''themselves'' get offended about having their title missed out are just bad monks and nuns!
For concepts, special terms, and doctrines (e.g., "nirvāṇa"):
* Ideally, the name of the article should correspond to the primary version of the term (i.e., [[anatta]] for anātman]]), with redirects sending commonly used alternatives the page.
* The first paragraph should name the term, provide variants in different languages, identify in what sect or sects it has currency, and briefly describe it.
** But: What should the format for specifying languages be?
*** Anatta (Pāli; Sanskrit: anātman) is a doctrine yadda yadda...
*** But one could also use abbreviations: "Anatta (Pāl. (or whatever the real abbreviation for Pāli is; Skt: anātman) is a doctrine yadda yadda..."
*** or even link off-page to a glossary (most likely [[Buddhist terms and concepts]]) that stores the language information.
*** Also, once the various terms have been defined, is it still necessary to use whatever the canonical term, or can they be regarded as interchangeable?
* Following sections should include information like:
** A fuller description of the idea
** Its relation to previous ideas in and out of Buddhism. (e.g., "The doctrine of anātman is a rejection of the concept of the ātman, 'self,' or 'soul,' that is vital in several mainstream Indian philosophies. It also has implications that challenge the concept of Braḥman or Paramātman (as Braḥman), which are essential to Indian monism.")
** Disputes or schisms involving the idea
** Connections to common user practices
** Discussions of important texts for understanding the idea
** Quotes (preferably with full attribution)
** See also
** External links
===Formatting===
====Transliteration====
*[[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Dharmic)]]
Transliterated terms from Sanskrit and Pāli should take advantage of [[Unicode]] diacritics; for example, "Nirvāṇa". These may be input either directly into the edit menu, as Unicode text, or as HTML character references such as '''&#257;'''. A list of relevant characters is currently available at [[IAST]]. Several [[User:Kukkurovaca/BuddhistShortcuts|template-based shortcuts]] also exist for transliterations, but these are strongly deprecated.
: This works well for one-off mentions... but with terms that are beginning to enter the English language and thus appear frequently in some articles it is making the text very difficult for the viewer to read (and it has the feel of an academic textbook rather than an encyclopedia). Also, since many editors find using diacritics problematic this is leading to very uneven usuage throughout an article. In [[Vajrayana]] for example the diacritics appeared heavily in the intro but rarely in the sub-sections. It would make more sense to me to have a policy of only using diacritics on the first mention of a term if it is frequently repeated. [[User:Dakinijones|Dakinijones]] ([[User talk:Dakinijones|talk]]) 12:16, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Transliterations from Chinese should be in [[Pinyin]], not [[Wade-Giles]].
Of related concern: how to express terms in origin language. (I.e., is it "Skt" or "Sanskrit", etc.)? Priority of languages? (See [[Talk:Buddhism]])
====Terminology====
We aim to build up a coherent and inclusive list of Buddhist terms at [[Buddhist terms and concepts]], but that may be a while yet. In the mean time, there are certain tricky words or clusters of words about which we may need some degree of standardization. For example
*Buddhism is a (blank)
**Some concern has been raised that Buddhism should not be called "a faith"; this seems reasonable. But Buddhism is probably not a "philosophy" either. "Religion" seems the safest term...right?

This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!
WikiProject Buddhism is a group of people dedicated to improving Buddhism-related contents in Wikipedia. This page contains only suggestions: things to give you focus and to get you going and you should not feel obligated in the least to follow them.
February 23, 2010: Hi everyone, I am proposing the development of a strategic policy regarding the authorship and maintenance of Buddhism pages, especially concerned with reducing the amount of time spent in long drawn out disagreements. How about contributing your thoughts? (20040302 (talk))
Farang Rak Tham It wasn't written. I just made the suggestion that we develop one. I am really not sure that it would work anyway :-D (20040302 (talk))
20040302, still a good idea to revive this wikiproject a bit. I've noticed the Thai wikiproject is a lot more active than this wikiproject. We could start by activating the wikiproject's talk page and continue this dicussion over there.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 12:46, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
December 23, 2008: Hi everyone. I have implemented Turnkey presentation of WikiProject page (more details on the talk page). While this may not be perfectly done as yet, I hope it will encourage more efficient WikiProject operation in the future! All information that previously appeared on this page is archived at this page; much should probably be integrated here. Please help to make the operations of this project as smooth and efficient as possible! /Ninly (talk)
The project's encyclopedic articles page contains a listing of articles which can be found in reference sources on the topic of Buddhism, and can serve as a reasonable indicator as to what content regarding the topic wikipedia does and does not yet have.
・Dhatu (Buddhism) - It's mentioned by the Buddha in the Aṅgulimālīya Sūtra with no clear definition. Skandha has an section mentioning the Dhatus but not in the Buddha's context from the Aṅgulimālīya Sūtra.
The following templates can be used on pages in Wikipedia to associate them with the Buddhism WikiProject. Click on a template's title to see a sample of what it produces when included on a page. For a full list of Buddhism templates see the main template page.
Contributors can also put the {{User WikiProject Buddhism}} userbox on their user page to show that they are members of this project. Placing the userbox on your user page will place you in Category:WikiProject Buddhism participants. You can alternatively place [[Category:WikiProject Buddhism participants]] on your user page to place yourself in the category.
Cermus 5 July 2011. I studied Buddhism from an academic standpoint in college, primarily Tibetan and Nichiren. I still keep up on it and can help contribute to various pages in the project.
Balaji Ramasubramanian I am an engineer and an enthusiast of Theravada Buddhism. I practice Buddhist meditation and have a lot of interest in philosophy, psychology and physics.
Dienekles (talk) My first complete article: Madyamika Tibetan Buddhism, Gelug, Mahamudra, Madhyamika (Svatantrika-Prasaṅgika), and Japanese Zen. I'm happy to help in regards to any of these subjects!
IM3847 - I'm working on a design related to Buddhism, which will help me to work on Wikipedia simultaneously.
Invokingvajras - Practicing Buddhist with B.A. in Religious Studies and Japanese. Studied abroad at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan and Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
KashKarti - Mainly focused on Indian Mahayana and late South Asian Buddhism
