Wikipedia:WikiProject Spirituality

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Spirituality. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Title

WikiProject on Spirituality

Scope

This WikiProject aims to promote better coordination, content distribution, balance and cross-referencing among pages covering topics of spirituality, as well as pages on topics that can be compared or contracted with spirituality. All of these articles should be placed within the Category:Spirituality or one of its subcategories.

To do

• Place the {{Spirituality project}} banner on the talk pages of all articles within the scope of this project.
• Add the articles to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Spirituality/Articles list by category.
• Check for recent changes in these articles, including improvements, other changes, and vandalism.

Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Resources

"Spirituality" navigation bar

If you're interested in adding a "Spirituality" navigation bar to the top of every wikipage, you can do so with just a few simple steps. Of course, you can modify the links to customize the bar to include just about any wikipage. — Richard_RDF^talk 20:00, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• Create a page called "User:<YourUserName>/monobook.js"
• Copy and save the "hidden" text you will find when you edit this section. (Copying from the display page seems to include unwanted breaks or other characters.)
• Refresh the page, e.g., <Ctrl>F5, or whatever for your browser, to see the changes
• Nav away!

Thanks Richard! Could you link to an example? Geir 08:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
