thread_title:  Template made! 

message: After creating the template, I've slowly added and changed it around. The biggest change yet I did was recently, and it was converting the Imam names into their proper Turkish titles. --Enzuru 20:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I added a title to the top of the box, but I couldn't figure out how to make it centered and larger. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! CarolinianJeff (talk) 03:48, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Neither Yunus Emre nor "Muhittin" (Ibn) Arabi were Alevis, but given their importance to modern and medieval Alevism, respectively, they deserve to be in the template. Muhittin Arabi is mentioned all over the place and it isn't clear to the general reader that the reference is to Ibn Arabi at all... ناهد(dAnāhita)  15:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Does Muhammad-Ali refer to a belief or a person like Hajji Bektash Wali? I think it should be put into belief section like Haqq-Muhammad-Ali. Kavas (talk) 16:02, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Aleviness should be preferred because the original Turkish term 'Alevilik' (Aleviness) to define broader Alevi phenomena rather than Alevism which is sounds more like a political ideology or a social movement. Nobody use 'Alevicilik' (Alevism) in original Turkish milieu from villagers to scholars. Please let me give an example to make it clear: as in 'Muslim-Islam-Islamism' terms, it should be 'Alevi-Aleviness-Alevism', but this is also wrong, because there is no such a thing like 'Alevism'.

replies: text: The suffix "-ism" is not exclusively political. It's very productive also in the formation of names of religions (see Buddhism, Hinduism). "Aleviness" cannot exist in English, the suffix "-ness" is not used this way. --Schwert von Feuer (talk) 20:14, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aleviness, instead of Alevism  

message: The template is currently extremely long (4x A4 page in Mozilla Firefox print preview), and in many articles it is several times longer than the article itself. Instead of listing all relevant articles in a non-navigable single template, I propose the template be organised into a very short master template linking to several (3-5) children templates. This way, in articles we would only have to put the main template and a child template relevant to the topic of the article. This will not only improve article format, but will also provide better readability, as readers would be able to navigate through it more easily.Anonimu (talk) 19:32, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, this should at least be collapsed. It dominates some articles out of all proportion to its relevance. --Folantin (talk) 15:21, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: the template is such a oversized one that extends down even below the reference section!, look at Esoteric interpretation of the Quran.Kiatdd (talk)
Replaced that gigantic with the current widely used one. elmasmelih (used to be KazekageTR) 12:14, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
