Template talk:Infobox Greek deity

editsemiprotected request 2

Okay... i propose we add a little bit more to the selection here. How about a mention of the primary place of worship, as in the city state in which it is worshipped. Athene is in Athens etc. So, below is the XY statement.

|data10=

So, could an established user squeeze that in there. I think it adds an extra dimension to the real world aspect of the god/goddess.

I've added it for you. The parameter name is Polis. Could you update the documentation please? And let me know me know if it's not working as you intended. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

removing polis field

I'm removing the "polis" field from this infobox. Greek gods rarely have a "primary" polis--even Athena, whom some people might assume was especially associated with Athens, was a patron goddess in many Greek cities--Sparta,Arcadia, Argos and even some places in asia minorjust to name a few. The infobox may give the impression that a god receives cult in only one city--but one of the things that makes a Greek god a god is that they're worshipped widely throughout the Greek world. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:51, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

cleaning up

I've just removed all the off-topic posts. Questions/requests about specific gods should be made on the talk pages of the appropriate articles, not here. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Her consort is Endymion, not Zeus. Please change that.

I don't think this is the right place for this change. The template is supposed to be general, while your change sounds specific. The change you are after may be carried out on the relevant page that has the template. Feel free to restore the tag if the change should definitely be made here. Thanks.

Too many infoboxes for deities from different cultures

There seem to be several infoboxes for deities from different cultures. These could easily be conflated into a single infobox that would have parameters to enable it to be customised as per religion, culture, mythology.--NeilEvans (talk) 17:32, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Apollo

This template is being used on the Apollo article with the Roman name. This makes the "Roman equivalent" field redundant and leaves it without a field to list the "Greek equivalent". Couldn't the template be renamed "Infobox Greco-Roman deity" or some such? Or better yet, can we merge all of the Infobox {pantheon} deity templates and just use a pantheon parameter to distinguish them and their contents? Regards, RJH (talk) 16:02, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm confused by your post. Apollo is his Greek name, which was later used by the Romans. The infobox shouldn't be retitled "Greco-Roman deity" because some deities are only Greek, or only Roman. I don't think merging all the deity infoboxes for different pantheons into a single template is such a great idea, because most Wikipedia editors don't understand template syntax--parameters would make editing more difficult for these users, not less. Of course, I don't really think these articles need infoboxes in the first place... --Akhilleus (talk) 02:43, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
