Template:Historical Christian theology → Template:Christian theology sidebar – Keep it simple? Cf. Template:Christian theology footer. PPEMES (talk) 09:05, 4 April 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. b uidhe 20:30, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Makes sense. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:11, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the template is the parent template for the topic History of Christian theology, so keeping it at its present title augments that article and the series.

Perhaps, but since we don't have any Template:Christian theology sidebar, shouldn't this template fill out that space at least until we do per WP:NOTFINISHED? PPEMES (talk) 16:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In this case the template name doesn't matter, it's what shown in visible space that defines the scope of the template. So leaving the title and the visible name similar keeps confusion to a minimum and may limit add-ons for adherents who may want to load this one up with non-historical or current favorites.

Comment: If this move is rejected, it should instead be renamed "History of Christian theology", as that is the scope of the template as well as the template's heading. "Historical" suggests no longer current, which is not the case. Many of these theologies, while having old roots, are still current. — the Man in Question (in question) 19:58, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. PPEMES (talk) 22:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds right. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:45, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
