This was originally created by Gparker. I just made it a template. You should refer to him if you have questions, a feature request, or want to thank him for making this. savidan(talk)(e@) 18:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the name of the template possibly needs to be looked at. The template's title is currently "Antipopes" and it includes links to the articles of Antipopes going back to antiquity and through to modern day figures who claim to be Pope. This means that the majority of those included actually have nothing to do with the Western Schism. Also as the template focuses on articles Antipopes it does not include articles which relate to topics relevant to the Western Schism. For example Jean Gerson who was a key figure in ending the Schism or relevant events such as the Council of Constance, the ecumenical councils which ended the Schism. The Council of Pisa is listed, but only to denote the line of Pisan Antipopes. Thus I think if the template is to focus on all Antipopes then it should be renamed probably Template:Antipopes to more accurately reflect its use and content, as the current name is not really helpful.
