[edit] Reason for move/changes

Several months ago, I asked a question about the purpose of the template located at Template:Adventism. Although the template's name implied that it was about the general topic of Advantism, the contents of the template itself was entirely dedicated to just one branch of Advantism, the Seventh-day Adventist Church.1 However I never received an answer as to why the template was almost entirely focused on the Seventh-day Advent Church, while still being applied to general Adventist topics that had no connection with the Seventh-day Advent Church. After mulling this over since then, I've decided to move the previous template to Template:Seventh-day Adventism, which more accurately describes the template, and create a more general, and more inclusive, Adventism template at Template:Adventism. --Farix (Talk) 18:56, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Agree entirely with the logic. The fact that I am now disambiguating "Sabbath" into Sabbath in Seventh-day Adventism may seem at odds with this, but consider: (1) The Sabbath article is the summary of everything that is (rightly or wrongly) called Sabbath, while the Adventism article contains the theology appropriate to this template; (2) the Adventism article does allude to other seventh-day movements beside SDA. Last year I remarked that the Adventism article should be retitled and recast because it "should" refer to something like Seventh-day Sabbath in Christianity, which topic is hardly unique to SDA, does not otherwise exist, and is certainly notable. I trust that with that proviso the disambiguation is appropriate. JJB 00:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

The "series" wikilink I added to Category:Adventist isn't working on at least one page I viewed. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 01:39, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
