Attempting overhaul

Hello all. I posted a round of changes, first trying to better organize definitions. Hoping to keep going tonight and over the weekend, tighterning things up, adding 2-3 journal articles I've got tucked away, using more of Vyse's 2020 book. Trying to make sense of the discussions on this page. Hopefully the article will look better when I'm done (if it doesn't... you know what to do). Please check my work and discuss as needed. Pinging @Bookku, ARY Digital, Bloodofox, GOLDIEM J, and Nolicmahr:

I may need help finding more sources from folklore journal, not having much success. Robincantin (talk) 23:37, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Request edit of "Alternative religious beliefs as superstition" prominence/significance/placement

It does not appear that most of the subcategories under the section heading "Alternative religious beliefs" should be included under that heading.

The "Classification" section should be the second and more prominent section of the article to conform to the hierarchical nature of the article. (And IMO a hierarchical structure that all Wikipedia articles should mirror.)

Since every definition on this page would classify all religions as superstitions the article should not give such prominence nor significance to the section: "Alternative religious beliefs as superstition".

Furthermore this heading supports religions in current/popular practice and instead should be titled "Religous Belief".

Finally any topic discussing religious belief should be a sub-section of "Regional and national superstitions"

The "categories" gecyndelic and wiglung, whatever they are (Old English, I would surmise) definitely need explanation— if not outright annihilation!
