'Edit issues:
- Add a Date Ordained line to bios?
- Excellent idea, though we should distinguish between different types/levels of ordination. Could also note date of refuge ceremonies for laypeople
- Do not capitalize Fó in pīnyīn
- Is this standard?
- I have been looking around, I believe that we actually should capitalize it, if it is a proper noun. (Which I believe it to be). See this article. According to this, we should also separate the syllables of place and temple names (e.g. Kāi fú Temple 開福寺). There is, of course, much misinformation regarding pinyin, and if we chose not to follow the latter rule, I think we'd be OK.
- Standardize English for 唯識
- And 法相, and 唯識法相 for that matter. The DDB might have standard suggestions, or we could throw it to H-Buddhism
- I follow Lusthaus in translating 唯識 as "Consciousness-Only." Perhaps we should call 法相 dharmalakṣaṇa. I know yogācāra is popular, but it translates a less-commonly used word. Given the distinction that some (such as Ōuyáng) wanted to draw between 唯識 and 法相, we should perhaps respect that difference. By the same token, the majority of people who studied it and wrote about it, did not distinguish between the two. I vote we use "C-O" as the default, as it was the most common generic term. In cases where 法相 is called for, we use dharmalakṣaṇa.
- Standardize place and organization names
- But we can also note alternate names on their page
- Decide which place names to hyperlink
- I think provinces and major cities should have their own pages. If there's a smaller city (like Zhènjiāng 鎮江) that's important in the context they can have pages too.
- Check, also certain mountains (i.e. 廬山, 金山)
- Hyperlink ALL names?
- We can, but we'll have to make pages for them all.
- We can get them as time goes on, better to have them linked right off the bat than have a page for someone but not have them linked.
New Stuff
- I don't think we should link years after 1950, since that's outside of our scope

How would you feel if, on the Main Page, we move the box containing the names of the administrators to below the other information?

Adding scans of sample title pages of the periodicals is a good idea. I do not have access to the MFQ, and do not have any scans of first pages, so you are on your own with that for now.
I noticed one thing about the periodical article you just added this morning 廣長舌: As in keeping with the general style of other types of pages, under "References," I have been listing the page of the index by Huang, et al. (a secondary reference work) that gives general information on the periodical (see, for example, 世界佛教居士林林刊), but I see that you are using that space to say which volume of the MFQ that periodical appears in. Might I suggest that we either a) add another section for this information, or b) put that information in the general information section under the dates, etc.
