Godot, why replace {{biblenav}} with {{religion}}. This book is part of the Bible of the Georgian Orthodox Church, and other Eastern Orthodox churches include it in their Bibles without considering it to be canonical (similar to how the KJV treats the Apocrypha).

I didn't do it. All I did was de-redlink, till we write articles for GOC, and EOC. Those may or may not be high priority articles. It was probably done because you did not spell bible nav correctly, so the editor fixing it, chose something different. I'm fine with bible nav. Though again, it really needs a different name, as it's NOT a "bible nav".Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 14:15, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
Check the diffs, they don't lie:
  1. I originally put the {{religion}} there, although I made a mistake with the syntax - [1]
  2. David Gerard fixed my syntax mistake, keeping it as {{religion}} - [2]
  3. Then he changed it to {{biblenav}}, a change I support (I would have done the same if I had remembered that template existed) - [3]
  4. 36 minutes later, you changed it back from {{religion}} to {{biblenav}}, without any explanation - [4]
I did make a syntax error with {{religion}}, but {{biblenav}} wasn't me, it was David Gerard, and he spelt it perfectly correctly. (((Zack Martin))) 09:52, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Redlinks[edit]

Redlinks are the wiki way. They encourage the creation of new articles. They make Special:WantedPages useful. If something is unlikely to be notable, fair enough, but the Georgian Orthodox Church is certainly worthy of an article — any religious denomination having 3.5 million members, and the status of a de facto national church, is. If you think they aren't important, maybe that shows a limited perspective on your part, one which fails to appreciate the significance of what is geographically and culturally distant to you?
