:::: No matter what dab term we use, I don't feel okay about certain gods being "exempt" from it, as I don't think it is within our right to say that one deity is "truer" than another. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 02:37, 21 January 2023 (UTC) | :::: No matter what dab term we use, I don't feel okay about certain gods being "exempt" from it, as I don't think it is within our right to say that one deity is "truer" than another. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 02:37, 21 January 2023 (UTC) | ||
:::I'd disagree with changing the "mythology" dab in general, as it's really not pejorative or contentious in most cases, but there are probably better ways of referring to a lot of religious figures. Mary is a historical personage, for instance, and it's flatly incorrect to call her [[Mary (mythology)]] - most readers who see that name will be jarred by it. Wikipedia has her page at [[Mary, mother of Jesus]], which strikes me as ideal.
