| == Linkspam in 'See Also' Sections == | |||
| I've noticed that someone(s) have added 'Secular Buddhism' in the 'See Also' section of a wide number of Buddhism articles, often articles with no or at best tangential relationship to the topic. It's difficult to quickly tell using 'What links here' which articles it was included in for spurious reasons and where it was included as part of the topic, but it's worth keeping an eye out for. --] (]) 02:19, 15 December 2019 (UTC) | |||

I thought there had been a few more a few months back, but I can't find them in my contribs right now. Unfortunately because of its inclusion in a template that is in the footer of a lot of pages, it's hard to verify when it's being linked inappropriately. --] (]) 03:14, 18 December 2019 (UTC) | |||

No reason for using Devanagari in Buddhist articles
It seems there are certain users that want to add Devanagari script renditions of terms in numerous articles about Buddhism on Misplaced Pages. There seems to be no good reason for this, other than perhaps nationalistic or revisionist ones.
Devanagari does not come from the time of the Buddha or from the time of Ashoka (from which date the first Buddhist related inscriptions), as the wki article says it reached regular use by the 7th century CE.
None of the major Buddhist canons (Tibetan, Chinese, Pali) are recorded in Devanagari, they use Chinese, Tibetan script and various South Asian scripts like Sinhala or Burmese. None of the major publications of these canons use Devanagari. Even the Sanskrit Buddhist texts are mostly not published in Devanagari, but use IAST instead. None of the main scholarly publications on Sanskritic Buddhism use Devanagari either, they all use IAST (for example: Siderits and Katsura 's "Nagarjuna's Middle Way: Mulamadhyamakakarika").
It makes absolutely no sense to put Devanagari in Buddhist articles. For these reasons, I am removing any instance of these that I see. Anyone have any objections? Javierfv1212 14:12, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with this. Stick to the traditional Buddhist Canon languages or national languages when relavent. Wikiman5676 (talk) 18:43, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Agree per proposal and reasons given at WP:INDICSCRIPT.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 20:42, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Tantric Theravada?
Your input is needed here in this discussion. Thanks.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 11:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
WikiProject Mysticism
I wonder whether any one in this WikiProject would be interested in my proposal for a "WikiProject Mysticism" that I have made at Misplaced Pages: WikiProject Council. Vorbee (talk) 18:21, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
