  • Outcome of Commons:Categories for discussion/2021/02/Category:Rodnovery: The categories "Slavic Neopaganism" and "Rodnovery" have been merged (keeping the title "Rodnovery") according to consensus here on Commons and previous strong unanimous consensus on the Russian Wikipedia, which established that, based on academic usage, the two terms are synonyms and English academic literature favours "Rodnovery" or its variants.--Æo (talk) 16:51, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • 2 February 2022 undiscussed move from Rodnovery to Slavic Neopaganism: It was decided through a long discussion in the Russian Wikipedia (linked in the comment above) that "Rodnovery" and "Slavic Neopaganism" are synonyms, and while "Rodnovery" is the main term in English (Slavic Neopaganism is hardly ever used), славянское неоязычество prevails in Russian, at the moment, though родноверие is used to the same extent and possibly will prevail in the near future. In all the other Slavic languages, the equivalents of "Slavic Neopaganism" are not used, each language using the localised variation of "Rodnovery". So, I am against changing the main categorisation here on Commons from "Rodnovery" to "Slavic Neopaganism" (which, anyway, is always written with uppercase "Neopaganism" in Englisn, so to distinguish modern systematically revived European and Middle Eastern religions from pre-Christian and pre-Islamic ancient "paganisms", written lowercase; such standard practice was decided time ago in the English Wikipedia). I think that the recent hasty move from "Rodnovery" to "Slavic Neopaganism" is an umpteenth attempt to split up the movement at the hands of some branches which would like to exclude others (namely, the self-proclaimed "true reconstructionists" aimed at excluding Ynglism or similar eclectic branches); there is no need to bring up "Slavic Wicca" or "Slavic Esoteric Nazism" to muddle the waters, as they are not Rodnovery/Slavic Neopaganism, as the former is a Slavicised branch of Wicca while the latter is Esoteric Nazism in Slavic countries. I am reverting the categorisation back to "Rodnovery".--Æo (talk) 10:24, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
