Template:Archive box collapsible

Restored section on Anglican Life to template, per consensus. This is an essential element for understanding what Anglicanism is, and there is no reason it should be missing. I have placed at the top since it makes an effective transition from the generic Background to particularities. Castanea dentata (talk) 03:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No you didn't. You just reverted to an earlier version of the template. Since January 17th - over two months - this version has been the consensus version, as further attempts after that date to acquire feed back dissolved into conversations with myself. I am open to restarting such a discussion. What do you feel should be on here and why? What should be removed? This template mirrors the "Top" priority category for the wikiproject, so changes here will be reflected there as well. -- Secisek (talk) 07:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Secisek as well. Please don't make changes to the template without discussion, because it affects many other things at the same time. Instead, explain what should be here and why, and what should be removed, and then we can discuss it. Tb (talk) 08:29, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there was a lively discussion, but it was removed. Wyeson 17:55, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Restored essential Anglican topics

There are two versions going on here, an older version and a newer. Unfortunately, the Talk record has been removed.

As I and many others have stated in the past, the problem with Secisek's newer version is that it is not really very Anglican. Distinctly Anglican features have been removed and random Christian ones put up in their place.

I have restored the older template, which holds the following essential Anglican topics that had been removed without any explanation:

In the alternate version, the above Anglican topics were replaced with the following random non-Anglican topics that might be pertinent on the Christianity template:

Edit war?

There is no need for an edit war here. Let's look at these proposals:

Add?

Remove?

The discussion was not lively, nor was it "remove" - it was archived when nobody made a comment for almost two months. I have identified priorites above. Now, pick your battles and let's come to consensus. -- Secisek (talk) 18:23, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the substance of Secisek's outline. I think that Paul should be dropped, and I do think Donne and Jewel should be added. I think the Rood Screen and Stained Glass are way too specific, but a case could be made for Anglican Chant. Wycliffe, Tyndale, and that lot, should not be here.

"Anglican" navbox?

I would like to hear why this new Template:Anglican template was added, which seems to be a duplication of this one here. The editor who created it then proceeded to replace the long-standing templates with his new one. Such a change requires some explanation. Tb (talk) 18:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's also Template:Anglocommunion duplicating this, and Template:Angloportal which duplicates Template:Anglican Portal. Tb (talk) 18:41, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
