Revision as of 04:52, 8 September 2006
I'd recommend changing this template so that you can choose the version (NIV or KJV). For example:
{{If|test={{niv|}}|then=[[Biblegatewayniv:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]|else=[[Biblegatewaykjv:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}
I think that'll work. Basically if you include the optional parameter (niv=anything) it should use the NIV link, anything else and it'll default to KJV.
Usage: {{Bible|Genesis 5:3}} uses KJV {{Bible|niv=blah|Genesis 5:3}} uses NIV

- I agree with the idea, but wouldn't it be better (if possible) to use something more like:
- {{Bible|Genesis 5:3|version=niv}} uses NIV
- {{Bible|Genesis 5:3|version=asv}} uses American Standard
- etc? I put the version at the end, though it could be either.
