Hi @Skyerise I saw you changed my change to category back to the page - I also tried to see best way to show not just two countries before changing it to category since it included the pages. Wanted your thoughts on that. Asteramellus (talk) 13:25, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Asteramellus: typically, the links at the top of a section should be to articles, not categories. The differnece is, the lists tell where the temple is within the country by state and village. Categories can't do this, which makes them inferior for the purpose. You could put the category in the see also section, though. Or you could make List of Shiva temples and reference the two existing lists as sublists. Skyerise (talk) 21:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Skyerise that make perfect sense. I think will go with See Also. I think making a list page, and then referencing the two existing list pages would not be quite readable for wiki user. Thanks. Asteramellus (talk) 13:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Asteramellus: See List of Buddhist temples for an example. It's got multiple sublists. Skyerise (talk) 13:04, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Skyerise oh thanks so much. This is really very helpful. In general, I found Hinduism related list pages and categories quite unorganized and random. I can definitely use this sample to organize things, as time permits. Asteramellus (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Asteramellus: Yes, many of the Hinduism articles are a mess. Many Indian editors make rather poor edits, with incomplete sentences, bad grammar and capitalization, and no sources. Even worse are those who want to "correct" a cited article to represent the beliefs of only their particualar subsect, ignoring or removing cited information about the full range of beliefs. It's an uphill battle! Skyerise (talk) 14:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oh yeah, then there's the long-term vandal whose only goal is to add himself to the list of Mahasiddhas! Skyerise (talk) 14:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Chaotic Enby has given you a kitten! Kittens promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Your kitten must be fed three times a day and will be your faithful companion forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a kitten, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Spread the goodness of kittens by adding ((subst:Kitten)) to someone's talk page with a friendly message, or kittynap their kitten with ((subst:Kittynap)).

Giving a kitten to both you and Mychemicalromanceisrealemo so everything gets a bit more gentle, I know ANI can easily get pretty tense!

Hi, I noticed your edit summary. I don't see any indication at template:rp that it has been deprecated, was that a recent discussion/rfc? Could you link to it? I don't use rp often but have on occasion so I'm curious. Schazjmd (talk) 14:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Schazjmd: I got this from a discussion at Talk:John Dee#Citation style?, where it was asserted that it falls under the deprecation of inline parenthetical citations made in 2022. "And it's better than "antique" ways of doing this like ((rp)) which is a form of (partial) inline parenthetical referencing, the entire class of which was deprecated in 2022 as too much confusing clutter for readers." See that talk page section (near the bottom) for details... Skyerise (talk) 20:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
