/Archive1 : June 2006 : vote to move article

As a result of the vote to move, content referring to "Rite" as an organization goes in Eastern Rite Catholic Churches, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, or an article about a particular Church.

[edit] Article or dab

WP:DPL currently lists this as a disambiguation page with incoming links. Articles should not normally link directly to dab pages, but to the appropriate article. As I recall from the vote to move, this page was not meant to be a permanent dab page. Does anyone plan to write at least a stub about the "Eastern Rite" as a liturgical tradition?

• A lot of the incoming links exist because the "Eastern Christianity" template box has a link here. Since there isn't any real info on this page, I've proposed dropping that link from the template. This won't hurt readers' access to "Eastern Christianity" or "Eastern Rite Catholic Churches", because the template box already has direct links to those pages. If that proposal is accepted, the "what links here" list will be cut down sharply.

WP does need to bring together the concept of Eastern Christian liturgy somewhere. There are articles about several of the Eastern liturgical families (e.g., Byzantine Rite), so I will add a stubbish paragraph and some links to these on the Eastern Christianity page.
