Deconsecration

Theres a consecration parameter, but no deconsecration parameter! CapnZapp (talk) 19:46, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@CapnZapp: Is there such a thing as a specific date on which a church is deconsecrated? My understanding was that its a rather informal process. Ergo Sum 20:05, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am not knowledgable in these matters so I'll leave your question for experts. I just note that the infobox does not provide a way to tell the status "it still stands, it's not closed or demolished, but it's also not a church anymore". Can't you give just the year as a date? CapnZapp (talk) 20:10, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There actually is a parameter for that (|functional status=). I'm not opposed to the idea, but I'd want to hear a bit more from someone who knows about these things. Ergo Sum 20:18, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm more thinking of Closed date, except I don't think "closed" equals "deconsecrated". A deconsecrated church can still be an open building. My question is "If we have |consecrated date= why not |deconsecrated date=?" and, of course, I believe the answer is simply "noone has thought of that". CapnZapp (talk) 21:50, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with CapnZapp. Although I've heard only once that some church was offically deconsecrated and that there is actual date of the event (ceremony?). Maybe they are usually just left to profane usage. --Janezdrilc (talk) 00:57, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 26 October 2018

On 8 August 2018, "Anglican Church of Canada" was added to Template:Infobox church/denomination, as per the request here. However, the editor did not add "Anglican Church of Canada" to Template:Infobox church/font color. Therefore, that should be done now to maintain consistency. As a result, perhaps an experienced editor could add Anglican Church of Canada to Template:Infobox church/font color under the CHURCH OF ENGLAND (ANGLICANISM) heading, right under "Anglican Church of Australia". Thanks! -- Blairall (talk) 01:26, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The editor" wasn't asked to do that. As the request template says:
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.
 Done Please update the documentation. Cabayi (talk) 20:06, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Denomination colors

About denomination colors. Since catholic churches are associated with pope, I propose gold color for them (in accordance to {{Popes}} or {{Basilicas in India}} etc.). Now ortodox churches use gold color which is a little bit confusing at the first site. What about switching catholic and ortodox colors? If you look Basilica of the Divine Motherhood of Our Lady for example, you can see peach colored infobox and gold colored navbox. --Janezdrilc (talk) 01:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
