Template talk:The Order

I moved several items to a Fictional section to help clarify some issues.--modelmotion 14:11, 1 December 2006 (CST)

I like what you're doing here to organize the topic, but frankly, your method of organization is more than a bit opaque to me. I can't figure out why things are organized the way they are on the template, nor do I understand why some things are even on the template. In particular, while I do understand your reason for having a page for the Knights of the Round Table, I think it is such a minor point that the page has no place in defining Bree's religion, and really only serves to inform the meaning of the name and possible associations rather than having relevance in itself. Perhaps I'll revidit this topic later once the subject of the related deletions settles down. I think the concept of this template could be refined a great deal. --Brucker 17:48, 1 December 2006 (CST)

I am always open to new ideas. I think what I created here is much better than nothing. However its only intended to be a starting point. I contribute a lot to this secion so i have a good feel what is on here and why its on here. The Knight issue is just to separate Knights Templar from Knight of the Round Table.....and of course there is likely to be other Knights added as the story develops. There are some issues surrounding the Holy Grail that might ties in the Knights of the Round table but I have enough to deal with at the moment. Yes we could just send people over to Wikipedia but I personally like keeping things in house (especially since it might generate some ad revenue in the future). I also think that Wikipedia can be a bit overwhelming for some users and so having a nice siimple page on LGpedia is useful. Besides, we may get some interesting additions to the page as time goes on.--modelmotion 17:55, 1 December 2006 (CST)

The template itslef is based on this index page which i created and a modificication of the location template that you helped me with. If the template is modified the index page should be modified to reflect the same change. What I want to accomplish was expose users who were searching for one topic to the many other topics that are now available. Any organization scheme that accomplishes that is fine by me. Also I have had a problem adding the template the crowley page and the Thelema page because they both have graphic that have to be dealth with. Perhaps you could help me out with that.--modelmotion 18:00, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Perhaps a change to the template to make it optionally display a picture might be in order, but I don't know. Certainly it would be nice to keep those pictures at the top. Maybe move this box to the bottom like some templates on Wikipedia? --Brucker 19:37, 1 December 2006 (CST)

The fictional resources category was recently added to the bottom because of some concerns expressed regarding insults to Thelema. I hope that helps a bit but that why its there.--modelmotion 18:02, 1 December 2006 (CST)

I was considering--along the lines of what I discussed on Tannhaus's talk page--a division of the information into factual, Breeniverse-related, and speculational, but then, a lot of the topics need such breakdowns within the topics themselves, I think. --Brucker 19:37, 1 December 2006 (CST)
