Template talk:Dead Sea Scrolls

Fresh off the press
As this is a new template I have only attached it to the Qumran article so that it can be seen in situ.

I hope to get suggestions for improving the template from you all, so what scholarly links do you think should be included? Are the categories sufficient for the task?--Ihutchesson (talk) 00:13, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

A few more locations (eg Buqeia and Ein el-Ghuweir) and there could be a category of "locations" or "sites".--Ihutchesson (talk) 07:56, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Styling
I have change the styling to the default to match all other templates in Category:Jews and Judaism templates. I didn't see any good reason to deviate from the default. if there is a problem with the default, we should change that so that all navigational boxes can benefit. thank you.

When something is not broken don't fix it. The design of the template has stood for several years and makes a clear distinction between the Qumran nav box and other nav boxes on the page. Please stop changing something that has functioned well for years. -- I.Hutchesson  ► 15:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Trimming the names
Several of the names listed have very little to do with the Scrolls. E.g., their own WP articles do not describe their contributions to DSS scholarship. Accordingly, I've been culling some of the names. The editing question is "will linking to this name/article give the reader pertinent information about the scrolls?" – S.
