I've simplified the side-bar a little. We can change it back easily if people don't like it so simple. --Muser 02:48, 12 July 2008 (PDT)
Random article
What do you think? Should we have the Random article in the side-bar? I not sure it serves a useful purpose in WikiChristian, particularly since it is usually going to land on a Bible verse. What are people's votes? My vote is let's remove it. --Graham grove 09:39, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
- I have no problem with the removal of it. I just thought it would help a visitor navigate WikiChristian better, even if it does lead to bible verses. Who knows? A visitor may just want to read random bible verses. Heh, heh. Thanks, Ryan†Cross (talk) 11:20, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
- That's a fair point about people wanting to read a random Bible verse. Let's hear what others think. Thanks. --Graham grove 11:36, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
- Let me supply a technical point: What is there was a way to separate out all the verses and have Random-Verse and Random-Article? Such a thing is possible, but would involve us deliberately making the Bible system here along very certain lines. Would that be desirable? --Aquatiki 11:54, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
- That would be nice, but could we even accomplish doing that? I don't think it's possible. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 11:57, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

Bible:John 3:16. Then you could go to[[Special:Random/Bible]]. Right now, if you go to Special:Random, it takes you somewhere new in the main namespace. You can test drive this right now my going to Special:Random/Template and seeing a random template. --Aquatiki 12:11, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
