NWT

[edit]

Would it be possible to add some of these translations as well?

Would be handy for the Series on Jehovah's Witnesses, where none of the scriptures can be linked through {{bibleverse}} as to compare these scriptures. We made a template with all these versions linking to each version for our own wiki, which could be used here as well, but this version works with a module and ours doesn't.

Hope to hear from you soon! Kind regards,  Rodejong  💬 ✉️  13:37, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template produces incomplete referencing

[edit]

The template outputs Book chapter and verse but does not show the bible version. GraemeLeggett (talk) 09:31, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vulgata Clementina

[edit]

Noting this is at Wikisource:la:Vulgata Clementina but not yet supported here; does LA WS need to do anything to make this possible? Jim Killock (talk) 19:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose my first question would be whether anyone is actually going to link to a Latin bible edition on enWiki (especially when we have five versions in English to link to). Primefac (talk) 20:21, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First parameter as book number

[edit]

Although it is no longer documented, for backwards compatibility, this template can use the first parameter as a book number, eg.:

Markup Renders as
{{Bibleverse|1|Samuel|3:16-4:18}}
{{Bibleverse|1 Samuel|3:16-4:18}}

Because of this, some transclusions of this template leave the first parameter blank. This feature is deprecated and may be removed in the future. Daask (talk) 23:41, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just because something is optional doesn't necessarily mean that it's deprecated; usually when something is deprecated there is a note saying as such, tracking categories set up, and an active push made to eliminate those uses. That does not seem to be the case here. If it works both ways, I see no reason to change it. Primefac (talk) 01:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you look at the code (see the section with the comment "first argument is a numeric prefix and second is book name"), you can see that it is by design. Wikilinking the book name even works: 1 Samuel 1:15–16. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:37, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
