Ancient Egypt Template‑class | ||||||||||||

This template is getting pretty big. Is there anything we can edit away to keep it down? Personally, I think we could loose the "Egyptologists" line; it's not really that critical to include. Noel (talk) 03:00, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Failing that, yes, let's lose the Egyptologists: there's not one of those articles that does its subject justice, anyway. –Hajor 04:11, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
With my settings this template is almost impossible to read. Fornadan (t) 08:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
The gods bit is going to get out of control if it was filled in fully. ~~~~ 17:59, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
I just went through the deities in the template and changed a bunch of things.
Why not get rid of this rather useless list (too long and biased towards religion) and just use (at most) links to various categories, for example Egyptian deities, Egyptologists, Egyptian mythology, etc.?
This template is again getting out of hand: as I have my browser configured, it consumes almost the entire window! On one hand, 6 of the 12 categories concern Egyptian Gods -- can't this be trimmed down & duplicate names (like Set (mythology) pruned? On the other, there are no people included in this template -- nor any links to lead to a list of Ancient Egyptian persons, either Egyptologists or historical figures. If no one else steps up, I'll happily whittle this beast down. -- llywrch 03:40, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
This is mad. One template cannot possibly contain every article about Ancient Egypt! It needs to be slimmed down radically - just taking the headings, perhaps: History, Geography, Sites, Architecture, Art, Mythology, Dynasties, Pharaohs, People, Language, Writing, Medicine, Egyptology, Chronology, Unsolved problems?
I know some of these articles do not exist, but they should all, as sub-pages of Ancient Egypt. -- ALoan (Talk) 21:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I was considering adding a "Rulers of Egypt" line to this template, but then I realised that the template is titled Ancient Egypt. So why does it have links to more recent history, including one to Modern Egypt? If anyone is interested in listing the Rulers of Egypt, see the discussion here. Carcharoth 14:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Could someone kindly explain to me the point of this "template"?? Is it supposed to be the Index of All the Egyptian Gods Ever Worshipped in Ancient Egypt plus some other stuff that we'll tack on for good measure anyhow but really don't care about ourselves because we're into Egyptian mythology template? Why not add the name of every king and every dynasty and period as well? " Cats in Ancient Egypt" apparently is so important a topic that it must be included but "Old Kingdom" is not. There isn't even a link to Egyptian language, only articles on writing! This is not at all useful and is frankly an eye sore, not to mention a waste of space and a reader's time. I realize it can be hidden, but why bother with it at all? It is useless, unless of course you really do need a link to the very obscure god Maahes on every single page about ancient Egypt. Just my opinion, naturally. — Flembles 08:41, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Revert it if you want, but I was bold... — Flembles 09:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Another possible list. -- Secisek ( talk) 20:04, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
