Calendar links
==Calendar links==
Sorry if someone already asked this, but I wouldn't it be more logical for calendar entries only to contain links for actual Saint entries, as opposed to Saints and a large number of links that tend to lead to [[Saint titles]] article? For example, if someone wanted to read on St. Theodore the Sanctified, the entry looks like this: [[Saint]] [[Theodore the Sanctified]], the [[disciple]] of [[Venerable]] [[Pachomius the Great]]. Depending on where the person clicks (on name or title) it will lead to two different articles, and somoene who isn't proficient at using OrthodoxWiki probably wouldn't know that seemingly one link leads to two different articles.

:Well, when we were starting to put the calendar pages together, we had more pages for the title kinds of things than for the hagiographical articles. Also, many of the titles themselves may provoke curiosity, for instance "venerable": I found out why some saints are called that when I was working on the calendar. Because the calendar templates are viewed on the main page, it seemed that they should be accessible to the broadest number of people, including those who do not know what a saint is. I tried to make sure that the titles were only linked once per day. Perhaps there should be another way of emphasizing the names of the saints of the day? {{User:Magda/sig}} 07:36, May 18, 2006 (CDT)
