I reverted your change of Matthew Chapter 1, Verse 19/KJV. 'publick' is the correct spelling there. --TonyBowden 11:33, 8 January 2006 (GMT)
- hmm... where did you get the verses from? I checked with BibleGateway before I made the change and they spell it "public" in the King James Version. --Ymmotrojam 00:32, 9 January 2006 (GMT)
- It's conceivable that it's a UK vs US thing. My text originally came from wikisource, but I've also checked this verse with my physical copy (Cambridge University Press, print date unknown). --TonyBowden 10:08, 9 January 2006 (GMT)
I like what you're trying to do with the Bibleverse template, but there's a couple of problems with it. Firstly, you've made it so that New Testament verses have blank links to the LXX version - which of course won't exist. You'll need to only add that on 'otverse'. Secondly, removing the {{{verseno}}} links makes it more difficult to get from a specific translation of a verse, back to the verse itself. If we can map out how exactly we'd like these all to look and work I have a set of scripts that I can use to modify all the verses automatically, rather than having to go through them by hand. --TonyBowden 20:42, 18 March 2006 (GMT)
- oh, I see what you mean ;-). My thinking as far as the verseno template is what I've been doing at Wikible. You'll notice there that none of the verses have verseno templates on the actual verse page itself. In other words, having the verseno template on each verse page is a extra template layer that doesn't necessarily have to be there to get the same effect. The verseno could be implemented into the otverse or the bibleverse templates. That would also allow for greater flexibility, as people could cite verses with or without being required to display the number (for example, when multiple verses are listed together, it can be somewhat tacky to show the numbers for each one)... I don't know if any of that made sense, but I'll keep working on it :-) --Ymmotrojam 21:08, 18 March 2006 (GMT)
- Not sure I follow really. I don't really understand how, for example, John Chapter 1, Verse 38/KJV can link back to John Chapter 1, Verse 38 without something equivalent to the {{verseno}} template. --TonyBowden 21:15, 18 March 2006 (GMT)
- It wouldn't. What I'm thinking though is the /KJV page doesn't really matter as much as the other page as far as user experience goes. What visitors will care about is finding the verse and the commentary. For the power user, there will always be the link back to the original "template" page where the verses are coming from. For example, the changes I made to this page... Genesis Chapter 1, Verse 1... the part that tells you what translation it is is clickable and leads back to the the verse page. This page on Wikible may explain a little better what I'm talking about Wikible:Scripture --Ymmotrojam 21:21, 18 March 2006 (GMT)
