Suggestion for a 'Latest Church news' feature on OrthodoxWiki homepage
The items under this rubric would be linked to relevant entries in OrthodoxWiki, for example:
- a news item about the new primate of the Malankara Church would be linked to OrthodoxWiki page about that Church (if any exists),
- Battle of the Bishops (Cyprus) -> link to OrthodoxWiki pages about Church of Cyprus and Bartholomew I,
- Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem appeal to High Court against government refusal of recognition -> link to OrthodoxWiki pages about Church of Jerusalem and Theophilus III,
- etc.
Format: each listed news item will have a short ~20-word description allowing links to relevant entries from OrthodoxWiki, besides a link to the original news source for full details. For example:
- 4 Nov 05: His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I visits 'Economist' HQ in London and the London School of Economics and Political Sciences; states that Ecumenical Patriarchate could be Europe's bridge with Islam (original news sources: ana.gr (1), ana.gr (2))
Update frequency: ideally daily, but perhaps every 2-3 days or weekly to reduce the burden of editing/updating it
Possible sources: official Church pages, Christian newsagencies, and news aggregators like http://news.google.com (search using suitable keywords, e.g., http://news.google.com/news?&q=bartholomew%20ecumenical - http://news.google.com/news?&q=alexy%20II - http://news.google.com/news?&q=orthodox+church )
Pros: dynamic content that adds life and "up-to-the-minute" currency to OrthodoxWiki; increases visitor retention/repeat visitors' rates; fosters/encourages the building of a strong online community; raises readers' awareness/presents them with an 'agenda for specific prayers' about the universal Church (Church around the world), the one Body of Christ, and the daily affairs and concerns of fellow Christians worldwide, not just in the West or in the country where one lives
Cons: time and deication needed to maintain it
Ideas
Hi, the best way to do this would be to simply include RSS feeds from a few different news sources. I have this set up, in a very basic way, at www.orthodoxnewswire.com. Let me check into the possibilities for doing this on OWiki. I'm not sure this feature is available yet, but hopefully in the future. I don't think it makes sense to do this manually. Fr. John
- Update: This has been implemented at Orthodox news. Fr. John 23:36, November 29, 2005 (CST)
Parish template
I'm not very good at manipulating Wiki code here (I fare better on Wikipedia), but I was hoping to add a new template specifically for use on parish pages. It would be in a format similar to Template:Diocese, but with different fields. Any help would be appreciated. cholmes75 18:24, June 8, 2006 (CDT)

Creating new templates: "Merge to" and "Merge from"
I have noticed a tendency where some new users are creating new articles for subjects where there is an existing article already. I thought about creating two templates here on OW, so as to mark these articles, patterned on the Wikipedia templates: Template:Merge to and Template:Merge from. Any technical wizards out there who can help to create a version of these here on OW? Thanks, Angellight 888 10:28, August 23, 2013 (HST)
