I'd like to propose two optional additions to the template: (1) a representative icon or painting of the saint; (2) a short hymn or troparion to the saint, no more than a dozen lines. Often such hymns beautifully encapsulate the Christian tradition regarding the saint. Wesley 16:27, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I just added the portal to the bottom of the template. If everyone agrees with this edit, we can move to eliminate  from ost of the articles we have tagged. --evrik 03:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That works, unless there's some more general Wiki policy objection to putting a portal link in an infobox. I don't believe it's something generally done. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding the portal

message: Anyone know how to create a sidebar, like this one, which we could use to provide links to all the project's secondary pages directly from the top of the main project page? John Carter 18:43, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Um...No, but I'd be willing to take a crack at it.  Give me a few days to tinker with it and see what I can come up with.  Good idea by the way.  -- Pastordavid 19:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sidebar is there ... also doing some other maintence, rearranging, etc on project pages.  -- Pastordavid 15:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sidebar? 

message: I've noticed a need for an infobox for specific use in articles that cover multiple saints. These are typically groups of martyrs, such as Eighty-five martyrs of England and Wales, or Martyrs of Japan. The usual required parameters, etc. are not sufficient for these special articles, and the "Title" field not necessary.
For your inspection: :Template:Infobox Martyrs (already implemented on the 85 martyrs article). I welcome suggestions, as my template creation abilities are novice at best, and there may have been certain parameters I've overlooked. Alekjds talk 22:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your infobox works well. I've used it for 108 Martyrs of World War Two and Martyrs of Gorkum. I'll put a link on the project page so others can find it. --Bwpach (talk) 18:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template for multiple martyrs 

message: I have noted how several articles relevant to Christianity have only the banner of more focused projects, several Christianity banners, or no banners at all on the talk pages. This makes it rather difficult for the Christianity WikiProject to keep track of all articles, as well as potentially reducing the number of editors who might be willing to work on the article, if only the more focused banner is in place. If I were to adjust the existing  to include separate individual assessment information for each relevant Christianity project, and display the projects which deal with it, like perhaps the  does, would the members of this project object to having that banner ulimately used in place of this project's one? It might help reduce the banner clutter, as well. John Carter (talk) 18:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
