[edit] Land of Israel
Land of Israel was added by me.--HIZKIAH (User • Talk) 15:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Renewal?
How is renewal judaism a den.? Isn't it just another hasidic den.? And shouldn't Dor Daim be included? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.206.248.147 (talk) 13:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Criticism link
I propose adding a link to the criticism page. Back in December, the Mormonism, Buddhism, and Islam templates all had links to their specific criticism page, however Islam removed their citing this template as precedent. Ironically, someone wanted to include the Criticism of Christianity link on the Christianity template, and cited those as precedent. If this is going to be a matter of "Well the Jews don't have the link, so why should we" or "The Mormons have the link, so should the Muslims" etc, we should decided as a whole whether links to these criticism pages are appropriate for the parent religion templates. I believe that all religion templates should have a link to the parent criticism page (if one exists), and that is what I am proposing here. What do we think?-Andrew c 00:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I won't have a problem. Criticism and kvetching is our favorite activity anyway. ←Humus sapiens ну? 00:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for your comment. A centralized discussion on this general topic can be found at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Criticism link on religion navigational boxes. -Andrew c 03:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

- The discussion was in favor of adding criticism links to appropriate infoboxes across the board. However, I do not know the best placement for this link. I was thinking somewhere under the Judaism/core principals header would be best, but if someone else wants to try and place it, please be my guest.-Andrew c 02:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- Criticism of Judaism already has been added to {{Judaism}} and I think it is indeed appropriate there, because that TL is dedicated to religious topics. I am not sure whether the Criticism link really belongs here, because this particular TL is more about history rather than strictly religion. At least, I can think of a few links more relevant to Jews and Jewish history than religious Criticism of Judaism. ←Humus sapiens ну? 04:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1) Duplicate link to the Holocaust and 2) Is Ten Lost Tribes an ethnic division?
Two unrelated topics:
- There is no reason to duplicate the same link. I propose either to replace the 2nd instance with Final Solution or remove it.
- Do the lost ten tribes belong in the template next to Ashkenazi · Sephardi · Mizrahi? In any case, if we include the lost ancient tribes, then maybe Israelites deserve to be included? ←Humus sapiens ну? 01:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I have removed both for now, thus saving 2 lines. ←Humus sapiens ну? 01:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] change of order
Since Jewish political movements are very recent historical phenomenon, and Jewish history and persecution are very old, I'm moving Jewish political movements to the end. Yehoishophot Oliver 15:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Languages
Do we really need all those languages? They certainly seem less relevant than the other sections.
I think the bottom two lines of the languages section could easily come off. Is there anyone who objects to this? --Eliyak T·C 21:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What's with the massive whitespace on the right side of the template?
Does anyone else see it? And why on Earth does it show up? It's so annoying. Lockesdonkey (talk) 04:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] China
Is the mention of China necessary in the 'Population (Historical)' section? It isn't historically an established religion just as it is in say India or Iran etc. It’s just not something that’s been relatively recent, and the alleged 'history' is still rather dubious according to many sources, I think it should be removed from the list.

[edit] Little problem
Check out the template here, why are the images scaled non-uniformly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixman (talk • contribs) 16:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Expandable version
I've put together a version which makes use of {{Navbox with collapsible groups}} to considerably shrink the template's footprint. Here it is (code is at User:Eliyak/work/jew):
One great feature is that a section can be automatically focused. For example, {{User:Eliyak/work/jew|principles}} produces:
--Eliyak T·C 17:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Lack of comments means I am moving ahead with the change. If it proves unpopular, it can always be reverted. --Eliyak T·C 01:54, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- How about this version, which uses {{Sidebar with collapsible lists}}..? It's also a little thinner, for the sake of smaller windows/screens:
| User:Sardanaphalus/Template workspace/Jews and Judaism sidebar | User:Sardanaphalus/Template workspace/Jews and Judaism sidebar |
- Should be possible to tweak any unfancied styling. The template page would also include {{collapsible lists option}}, i.e.
- This template includes {{collapsible list}}s. By default, all lists are collapsed. To show all lists expanded, use
{{Jews and Judaism sidebar}}. To show one particular list expanded while the others remain collapsed, use:{{Jews and Judaism sidebar |expanded=listname}}
where listname is one of "Religion", "Texts", "Ethnicities", "Populations", "Denominations", "Languages", "History" or "Politics". (Omit any speech or quotemarks.)
For example,{{Jews and Judaism sidebar |expanded=Religion}}.

- Have implemented the above. Sardanaphalus (talk) 02:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Menorah?
Is it really neccessary for a menorah to be used in the template. For one, Hanukkah is a very unimportant holiday in Judaism, and most would not celebrate it if not for its proximity to Christmas. Secondly, A picture of a Torah would do the job much better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.194.203.128 (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- It's a picture of a seven-branched menorah, an ancient symbol of Judaism, not a nine-branched hanukiah (Hanukkah menorah). — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 03:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Texts need to be edited.
Ehm, the Tanya should not be on this list. Nor should the Tur or Zohar IMO but that is up to discussion. 93.172.54.207 (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- Could you explain why you feel that way? — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 18:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
These books only represent segments of Judaism. This template is universal and should not contain information relavent only to some segments. 12:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.118.11.112 (talk)
[edit] Archive
This page is 71 kilobytes long. Some discussion dated back to three years ago. Obviously older discussion should be archived like Template talk:Jew/Archive01. Will anyone do so? --Quest for Truth (talk) 03:51, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

- Done. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 04:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
