Template talk:Infobox Bible translation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Good work. I've added an optional image and a border (looks nicer that way). Also, I've changed the relative "em" box size to a fixed, pixel-based one. I know fixed widths are evil, but as far as I can tell there's no way to specify the width of an image in "em"s. Please don't hit me. Collard 11:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and I made the font size a bit smaller as well. Is this okay? Collard 11:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
One more thing (as if my previous nagging hadn't merited a boot to the head already): what should one put for textual basis? Something simple like "Critical text" or "Textus receptus", or something more specific like "United Bible Societies Greek New Testament"? I know you had the example saying "original greek", but this misses an distinction between the text type used for the KJV and the text type used for most post-Westcott/Hort translations.

- I'm glad you're so confident in me (that or just naive, wink). I've added a "derived_from" field for translations which are derived from both an English text and the Hebrew/Greek text. ESV, NKJV, WEB come to mind. (You'll see this in action on the ESV page in a moment.)
Very nice work! Two details:
- Is there any real difference between "religious affiliation" and denomonation?
- Let's put in apocrypha (yes or no / what books). Dovi 12:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
thanks Dovi.
- By "religious affiliation" I was thinking of "Christian", "Jewish", "Jehovah's Witness". By "denomination" I was thinking of "Baptist", "Methodist" etc. I guess just religious affiliation is enough. Denomination removed
- Apocrypha added
- I would like the verses to be across both columns but I don't (yet) know how to do this
- In terms of layout, I think the 3 dates would be nice as 3 columns in a sort of sub-box. Again I don't (yet) know how to do this.
- I also want a large number of the parameters to be optional (see actual template), so the minimal template would, for example, only require, say, name and date(s). This does not seem to be working (yet). Any ideas what's wrong?

- It appears someone was adding his one personal opinion about the "reading level" of various Bibles. I could find no source for this addition, so I reverted all the edits.131.187.254.7 18:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
