Failed template
I see you tried to use a template copied from another MediaWiki-based wiki. In case you didn't know why it failed, it's because we don't have the required parser functions (#ifdef and the like) on this wiki. We do have a slightly less convenient Template:If that can be used in place of #if, but no templates for #ifdef and #switch. (I don't even know if it's possible to replicate the functionality of those two functions with what we have here.) - dcljr 12:53, 19 November 2007 (CST)
- Yeah, it was a pretty lame attempt. I was trying to get a template merge, finally I just grabbed the template for wikify from this wiki and called it a day. No real need to be fancy, just wanted something to say that Jesus fulfilled prophecy is pretty much a dupe of Messianic prophecy, and was feeling adventurous in the realm of cargo cult programming. If you notice when I trashed the template for ambox I used fail summary. Although, actually the wikify and merge templates probably share like 95% of the same info and could be rereferenced to an box template (which would help if those templates needed a change).

- I tried such a thing with Template:Stub master, which all of the stub templates now use. Of course, that's only for stubs...

Section headers
I've noticed that you haven't been nesting section headers properly in some articles. The first section header in an article should be == Like this ==, with double-equals signs, not triple. Each sub-section level below that should add only one additional equals sign (on each side), like so:
Lead section. ==First section header== First section. ===Subsection=== Interesting prose. ====Sub-subsection==== More interesting prose. ===Subsection two=== Blah, blah, blah. ==Second main section== Yada, yada. ==Third main section== The end.
Note that =Single equals signs= should never be used because the title of the article itself is at that level. - dcljr 14:11, 27 November 2007 (CST)
