Collapsing templates

I'm honestly not really sure how to make a template collapse, and I also don't know whether the right modules are installed on OrthodoxWiki in order to make that happen, either. You may be able to find some tutorials on the MediaWiki website or perhaps Wikipedia. If you need something installed to make it work, FrJohn is the only one who can do it. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 13:04, June 12, 2008 (UTC)

#if, etc.

I honestly don't have any knowledge or experience in template programming. If it ever looks like I've done it, it's just copied from somewhere else!  :) —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 14:12, June 16, 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion, the master (mistress!) of categorization is Magda. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 23:20, June 16, 2008 (UTC)

Works lists

Please don't remove works lists from articles, like you did with John of Damascus. OrthodoxSource is not part of OrthodoxWiki, so there's not a problem with duplicating information like this. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 02:28, June 19, 2008 (UTC)

OSource

Forgive me, but I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of OrthodoxSource. It's to be a repository for documents and other content (e.g., audio files, full texts of articles, etc.). It's not for synopses of DVDs, etc. There first needs to be a proposed category structure before some of the fancy template programming that you're working on will be useful. Gotta build the foundation before installing the satellite dish!  :)

I honestly am having a hard time figuring out where you're going with what you're doing there. The reason why that can be unhelpful is that it makes it hard to collaborate, which doesn't help the whole wiki enterprise.

I've reverted the Main page there back to FrJohn's last version, which has a lot of good suggestions for what's appropriate there.

I'm also adding a note here to OrthodoxWiki:Administrators to invite admins to OSource to work together on a category structure and basic presentation which would make OSource work well as a complement to OrthodoxWiki.
