Requesting that this navbox be converted to WP:HLIST. Changing to hlist does not affect the output, it just makes navboxes better for those who use screen readers. You can copy/paste the code below (which I've hatted because it is quite long). Thanks in advance, Jenks24 (talk) 12:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, with some other code simplification and cleanup. Thanks. You may want to consider using a sandbox next time rather than including all the code inline, as it makes it easier to compare the revisions (along with not adding a ton of code to the talk page). Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:31, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Chris. And thanks for the advice about using a sandbox. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 12:15, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Catholic Church was recently renamed to Russian Greek Catholic Church. Please update this link in the template. --Chonak (talk) 02:51, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chonak (talk) 02:51, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done, per WP:NOTBROKEN. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:26, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Political catholicism should be included in the template. Eiter as a section with detailed listing of relevant articles or at least a link to the one article.

Some relevant material is also in Religion and politics (now redirecting to Political science of religion, not quite appropriately!) MGTom (talk) 13:14, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a version in the sandbox that fixes several article links that have had name changes, fixes bodyclass, and narrows the 1st column. Please update the template, thanks. --Funandtrvl (talk) 00:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, but I made some small adjustments: (i) I amended the two instances of <br> to <br />; (ii) I added some newlines inside the <noinclude>...</noinclude> at the end.

The first was because although <br> is valid HTML, it's not valid XHTML, whereas <br /> is valid in both HTML 4+ and XHTML). The second was so that {{documentation}} appears on a line of its own - the formatting of some boxes inside {{documentation}} doesn't work properly unless {{documentation}} starts a new line. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The temple only includes a portion of our preceding Popes. There was a lo more as shown in the Catholic Encyclopedia online at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm Please include all the Popes or none of them. It gives the wrong impression that the papacy is a new thing if you only include a few of them. Thank you. ThePepel-Eterni (talk) 14:42, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please add John of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen to Doctors of the Church section. --Jayarathina (talk) 12:50, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I second that. >> Jesus Loves You! M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 17:41, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from User talk:Redrose64 § Request to Edit Template:Catholicism

 – Redrose64 (talk) 09:46, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I request you to edit the list of Doctors of the Church in Template:Catholicism to add John of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen. I made a request in the talk page, but received no response.

I would like to suggest to remove the list of Doctors of the Church completely and embed it as:

|list6 = {{Churchdoctor|list only=true}}

so that it will be easier to add a Doctor of the Church when the list changes. I have already altered Template:Churchdoctor to be embeddable and embedded it in Template:Catholic saints. I have edited Template:Catholicism/sandbox for your convenience. Hope I make sense. If you need any clarifications, please do revert back. Thanks. --Jayarathina (talk) 07:30, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(end of moved thread)

You didn't get a response because although you posted above (on 8 Oct), you didn't use {{editprotected}}, and I don't normally watch this page. However, these changes don't appear to be either uncontroversial improvements or supported by a consensus of editors, see WP:EDITREQ#General considerations. Has this been discussed elsewhere, perhaps at WT:CATHOLIC? --Redrose64 (talk) 09:46, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oops I didn't know that such long procedure was there to get an edit request for a protected template. I saw that you were the last one to have edited this page, so left you a message. Anyway as per your guidelines I will create a new edit request to gather consensus I have created a request below. Thanks for the help. --Jayarathina (talk) 11:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I request

1. To edit the list of Doctors of the Church to add John of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen
2. Do this by embedding Template:Churchdoctor. That is to remove the list of Doctors of the Church completely and embed it as:

|list6 = {{Churchdoctor|list only=true}}

so that it will be easier to add a Doctor of the Church when the list changes by modifying just Template:Churchdoctor. I have made similar change at Template:Catholic saints. I have edited Template:Catholicism/sandbox to show how the changes would be affecting the template. As per WP:EDITREQ#General considerations:

• To keep this Template up-to-date the edit (1 - Adding the names) is necessary.
• This edit is necessary to maintain the template in order to add new Doctors of the church easily (2 - Embedding the template).
• I don't think this edit is controversial in anyway.

Jayarathina (talk) 12:01, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit protected}} template. Also, the "full code" was identical to Template:Catholicism/sandbox, to which there is a link in the {{editprotected}} box, so there's no need to include it here as well. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:48, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Reopened I have tried to establish a consensus below. --Jayarathina (talk) 04:33, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Agree . I don't know whether my own vote counts. --Jayarathina (talk) 17:22, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree . John of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen, newly declared Doctors, are to be inserted. --பவுல்-Paul (talk) 16:33, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree . I completely agree - John of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen need to be inserted. Eire102 (talk) 16:37, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree . The two saints were made doctors back in October. Also like the idea of embedding. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree . Sounds good to me! Elizium23 (talk) 16:59, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree . They need to be inserted. but an opinion of a priest or nun has to be taken.(Harishrawat11 (talk) 01:07, 8 December 2012 (UTC))[reply]
• Agree . I don't have a problem with this, and don't see why it would be controversial. InfernoXV (talk) 05:44, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree . Obvious, unless we have some new criteria, a doctor of the Church is a doctor of the Church when declared to be so by the Pope. However, I am not sure about embedding. Would it cause the Doctors of the Church template to need to be locked so as not to affect the Catholicism template? If so, don't embed. >> Jesus Loves You! M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 10:24, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: I think that Template:Churchdoctor has to be at-least semi protected. Because it is embedded in other templates too. But even if it is fully protected, it won't be a problem, as we are not going to edit it very often. (Penultimate declaration of doctors of the church was 15 years back) --Jayarathina (talk) 04:24, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for that; so  Done. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:02, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your guidance and help --Jayarathina (talk) 13:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just some minor link fixes (which ARE allowed as templates are exempt):

• Change "Catholic Church hierarchy" to "Hierarchy of the Catholic Church"
• Change "Catholic marriage" to "Marriage (Catholic Church)"
• Change "Works of Pope Benedict XVI" to "Pope Benedict XVI bibliography"
