This is great! We should add more templates. As a newbie, I find it fun to run down branches of exploration - but it's easy to miss the forest for the trees. Templates & timelines could help provide a big picture (as well as increase a cohesive look).

• Cool! Glad you dig the templates -- I rather like the idea, as well. Seems like we could work them in all over the place as informative knick-knacks. I'd like to see quasi-desiderata elements on pages, like Didja Know?, featuring a paragraph of info in small text, carved out of the main entry. For instance, you could put vital statistics on personages, like addisson weighed 160lbs, was 6'8" etc, like the back of a football card.

Anyhow, a few thoughts:

1. First, I'm going to try swapping "Etc." with "Other Groups" and link it to "Category:Groups." Let me know what you think.

• That works for me. I was thinking of doing something similar actually, with the link as "For Further Research" or something. But Other Groups is an elegant way of doing, without seeming too pedantic about it.

Couldn't figure out how to set an internal link. Set it as external link. Help?

• That's odd, I'll look into that. Or you could. 8) I was trying to get a link to edit the template itself, which one should be able to add to the template -- but I couldn't get the damn thing to work . .8(

2. Here are ideas for more templates. I can try to get these started, but it'll take someone with better background knowledge to do them justice.

a. Places

b. Feasts & High Days

3. I added Death Cults and Mormo Cults (which links to Mormo). Do these belong here? If so, I'll add this template to Molech, et. al.
