Template talk:Islam topics

repetition of other templates?

the template looks pretty much like a replica of Template:Islam with added sections from Template:Fiqh. is there a reason it's not made redundant by these pre-existing templates? ITAQALLAH 11:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

There are other sections as well not on that template. A navbox template has the advantage of being able to be placed in articles where an infobox template would be too big, or where there is a specialized infobox (i.e. Shia islam) where Template:Islam wouldn't make sense. Besides, many topics have infobox and navobx templates (like Template:Antisemitism and Template:Antisemitism topics, Template:Sikhism and Template:Sikhi, etc.)Yahel Guhan 04:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Islam and slavery

Itaqallah, you said in your edit summary, concur, we don't. but this is something time-restricted and not a significant part of Muslim life/culture. if you believe it is, please substantiate it on the talk page.

Firstly, how is it "time-restricted? Secondly, reguardless of whether it is a significant part of much of muslim life/culture today, it was so in the past, even as far back as the time of Muhammad, so in that sense, I think it is very relevant. Yahel Guhan 19:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

It's time-restricted in exactly the same way Christianity and slavery and Judaism and slavery were time-restricted (note their absence from their respective topic templates). Slavery was as prominent in pre-Islamic times as it was in post-Islamic times. The only difference was that jurists specified a few rules so as to limit their acquisition. In fact, I think the slavery link may be better placed under the law and jurisprudence category given its discussion in the legal literature. What do you think? ITAQALLAH 23:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

sure. place it there. Yahel Guhan 00:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Protection request

Why? I don't immediately see why this template is protected (especially since Template:Islam is not), but could someone 1.) unprotect it, 2.) avoid the redirect for women and Islam to women in Islam, or 3.) both? I will not be watching this, so please post on my talk if I am needed. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

fix redirect - minor issue

The link in this template to Shi'a Islam redirects to Shia Islam. Because of this, the link is not "black" when viewing the template from the Shia Islam. Not a big deal, but something I usually like to fix. Thanks. DavidRF (talk) 15:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Link fix please

Hi would you be able to please change Islam by country (at the Islam and culture section) to List of countries by Muslim population but state as: Muslim demographics, thanks. HaireDunya (talk) 18:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

islam denominations

{{editprotected}} i would like you to add the salafi/wahhabi and quran-only (or quranist) to the list of denominations please

I don't know what that is, and where it would link to. Please prepare code and list it here. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:07, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

i dont know exactly what ou mean by code since i'm new to wikipedia. but...

the purple "islam topics" box has only sunni, shia, ibadi, sufi listed as denominations

i would like you to add quran alone (otherwise called quranists) and salafi to these other 4 please

can you do that for me?

It seems that there's no article about quranists -- perhaps you could start by creating one with a few references to outside sources? Lemuel Akins (talk) 05:55, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

{{Editprotected}} hi, under the islam denominations template could you add Quranists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an_alone

 Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

{{Editprotected}} hi, under the islam denominations template, could you add Kalami sect please? Kalam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jigglyfidders (talk • contribs)

On reading the article, it is not clear to me that Kalam is a denomiation. Could you discuss this and obtain a consensus from others that this is appropriate? (Perhaps on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Islam.) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:12, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

{{Editprotected}} hi, under the islam denominations template could you add the salafi sect please? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SalafiJigglyfidders (talk) 11:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I have disabled this request again pending input from other editors. Let's wait to see if this addition has support. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:32, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

{{Editprotected}} hi, Sufi IS a denomination. in the english language, a denomination means; "A religious denomination is a subgroup within a religion that operates under a common name, tradition, and identity." Sufis obviously fall within this category

however the Islam page claims Sufi is NOT a denomination. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam#Sufism could somebody fix that please?Jigglyfidders (talk) 00:19, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

This is not an edit request for this template so I've disabled it. For changes to Islam, you should discuss it on the article talk page but bear in mind there is reference to support the statements and unless you have contrary evidence, it should not be changed. → AA ^(talk) — 01:14, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

{{Editprotected}} hi, kalam with the branches Murji'ah and Mu'tazili should have a separate heading and branch since they have different laws and different theologies they are currently grouped together under sunni denomination even though most sunni scholars reject them as committing bid'ah

Since i'm not getting any response, reply or feedback from other editors, could someone group them as a separate denomination for me please?

or alternatively you could request another editor to do it on the following page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisions_of_Islam thanks Jigglyfidders (talk) 00:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

It should be discussed in Divisions of Islam to gather consensus and appropriate references added that Kalam is a denomination. There is also the issue of undue weight. → AA ^(talk) — 02:03, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

{{Editprotected}} have you gathered a consensus yet on whether to add Salafi to the list? Jigglyfidders (talk) 05:49, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

{{editprotected}} hi could somebody add the ahmadiyya sect to this template please? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmadiyya also, could someone add salafi sect to the template please? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salafi thanksJigglyfidders (talk) 20:13, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Please learn to discuss things first. I cannot judge wether this is a correct edit. YOU need to get the consensus, not the people making the change. We just have to confirm that you have proven that there is consensus. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:51, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

why should i get a consensus when there has already been a consensus on the main Islam page and the schools and branches page?

it's obvious ahmadiyya is a sect and so is Salafi. They are both listed separately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jigglyfidders (talk • contribs) 10:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit request

{{editprotected}} on the islam template i would like you to add 2 denominations please, because they are undeniable sects of islam. 1. Salafi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salafi and 2. Ahmadiyya - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmadiyya

could you do that please?Jigglyfidders (talk) 16:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Jigglyfidders (talk) 16:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I see that the proponent did post on WT:ISLAM and got no response. So  Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:10, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Sub-sub topic error

{{editprotected}} Under Law and jurisprudence, there is a subtopic Sexuality. It has 5 components : Masturbation, Sexual techniques · Sukuk · Takaful · Tayammum. You can go through the articles and confirm that Sukuk and Takaful come under Law and jurisprudence > Economics. And Tayammum comes under Law and jurisprudence > Hygiene. It is, therefore, requested that these edits be kindly made to the template.  Hamza  ^{[ talk ]} 04:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Wow, that's an old problem. Issue was introduced in this revision. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Moved. The sections are still somewhat messy btw. (especially in regard to use of italics and , vs. · If you have suggestions for cleaning it up, please make a new request so that this can be solved. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

cultural

{{editprotected}} hi, i have a suggestion where you could add 'cultural uslim' to the template because many muslims are not religious and non-practising but only muslim by culture.

otherwise you can implement it in the denomination page thanks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Muslim

Jigglyfidders (talk) 18:39, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Where should it be added in the template ? —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:53, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

 Done I've put it in the "Related Topics", there's not really a fit elsewhere.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:17, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Update

Hello. Here is a version of the template that has more visible and also wrapaware dots between links; avoids bold and italic text within the lists; spaces the lists apart a little more; rewords "Conversion of mosques" to "Conversion to mosques"; and probably one or two other tweaks I can't now recall. If all the parentheses aren't to people's liking, I've seen "Navbox subgroups" used as an alternative.

Noun

Hi, as of now it says Quranist which should be changed to a noun as Quranism. Could someone make this change pls?
