Some
Wikipedians have formed a
project to better organize information in articles related to The Bible. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the
talk page and/or sign up on the list of participants below.
As with any Wikipedia project, be aware of other sources and consolidate information in the appropriate places. Collaborate with related projects, wikis, and websites and be respectful of people's differing opinions. See particularly WikiProjects
Judaism and
Countering systemic bias in religion.
Please discuss any goal changes in the talk page. For reference, there is also an
archive of this topic.
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to organize information concerning the
Bible, particularly sorting out the various canons of Scripture, formatting, etc. Please cite as necessary. All these articles should be contained in the
Category:Bible or one of its subcategories.

Assessment unit, making it easier to know how the various articles with which the project deals with stand.
It's a bit bright and garish, is there any way to tone the colours down a bit?
I get the feeling that some (but not all) of the templates would be controversial - Islam says that the sons of Abraham happened in a different order to Judaism, for example.

I've made a new template to cover style issues that Bible articles sometimes seem to befall. Its based on the {{In-universe}} template, which people are avoiding using because it says fact from fiction, as it would obviously have bias problems in Bible articles.
I have rewritten the text and re-linked it to a page talking about articles that are too
technical, as well as the main
Wikipedia:manual of style page. (I have also
subst:ed the original template in the above entry on this talk page, for purpose of comparison between the old version, above, and the
new one.) However, I think the page ought to be renamed; the current name still carries the point of view that religion is a "universe," as if it is separate from the real one; whether that point of view is valid or not,
it's not for Wikipedia to decide.
