Template talk:Shinto

Name ?
Is Shinto2 really a helpful choice of name for a sidebar template (vertically-aligned navigation (navbox)) ? I see Shinto is used to populate Shinto-related talk page headers yet as main focus of our work should be the article rather than the talk-page spaces, perhaps a rename is warranted ?

As Shinto2 used by 9 pages, whilst Shinto used by over 300 pages, clearly use of article sidebar of Shinto with talk page of say Shinto header is not going to be convenient.

Therefore per what seems quite common usage of the metatemplate Religion to use "-ism" form, perhaps this sidebar should be renamed to Shintoism ? David Ruben Talk 01:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * As the project talk page template has been deleted, the template has been moved to Shinto. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Misogi
Was bold, changed the link from Ritual_purification to Misogi, as its more relevant then the two lines in the prior page. NeilHynes (Talk) 14:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose we merge the Template:Japanese mythology sidebar to either here or the Japanese mythology and folklore template. They overlap quite a lot and we could slim down the number of sidebars. Bluealbion (talk) 17:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I think we can stop using that sidebar, which lacks rituals. I prefer this vertical Template:Shinto to the horizontal template ja:Template:神道 横 to be placed at the bottom of long articles. I have made some changes to the current template. Shinkansen Fan (talk) 22:34, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
