This '''Suggestions''' page is for requests for '''new''' articles (requests for help with '''in-progress''' articles should be posted on [[OrthodoxWiki:Help wanted]]). You can post new suggestions here or click on the current ones and begin the work.
If you're stumped for ideas, take a look at some [[Relevant Wikipedia ArticlesOrthodoxWiki:Style Manual (Importing)#Starting_Points|Starting Points]] and , as well as the [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted pages]] list.

==Regional Links==
==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 [http://newsfromrussia.com/world/2005/10/31/66637.htmlthe new primate of the Malankara Church] would be linked to OrthodoxWiki page about that Church (if any exists), * [http://www.cyprus-mail.com/news/main.php?id=22699&cat_id=9Battle of the Bishops (Cyprus)] -> link to OrthodoxWiki pages about [[Church of Cyprus ]] and [[Bartholomew I(Archontonis) of Constantinople|Bartholomew I]],* [http://www.asianews.it/view.php?l=en&art=4473Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem appeal to High Court against government refusal of recognition] -> link to OrthodoxWiki pages about [[Church of Jerusalem ]] and [[Theophilus III (Giannopoulos) of Jerusalem|Theophilus III]],
* etc.
Format: Each 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 (Archontonis) of Constantinople |Bartholomew I]] visits 'Economist' HQ in Londonand the London School of Economics and Political Sciences; states that [[Church_of_Constantinople|Ecumenical Patriarchate]] could be Europe's bridge with [[Islam]] (original news sources: [http://www.ana.gr/anaweb/user/showplain?maindoc=3551488&maindocimg=2350819&service=100 ana.gr (1)], [http://www.ana.gr/anaweb/user/showplain?maindoc=3556089&maindocimg=3499314&service=100 ana.gr (2)]) ----
Update frequency: ideally daily, but perhaps every 2-3 days or weekly to reduce the burden of editing/updating it
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.

:'''Update:''' This has been implemented at [[Orthodox news]]. [[User:FrJohn|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. [[User:Cholmes75|cholmes75]] 18:24, June 8, 2006 (CDT)
 
:What topics were you thinking about listing? I think its favorability will depend on its use. [[User:Joe Rodgers|Joe]] 2006-06-08
 
== List of British Saints ==
Here is a list of British Saints that should have corresponding articles, can someone help me sort out the ones that already have links and create articles for those that dont? [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 03:24, May 19, 2009 (UTC)

== 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: '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Merge_to Template:Merge to]''' and '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Merge_from Template:Merge from]'''. Any technical wizards out there who can help to create a version of these here on OW? Thanks, [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]] 10:28, August 23, 2013 (HST)
