Great Question! Parables are something I have thought about nut have been busy with trying to develop lots of info on David and then Solomon and not wanting to expand into too many types of content to get to it.

Each Parable should have their own article, so for example "Parable of the Sower". Then a list can be created "List of Parables" that gives a list and basic metadata about each. Each individual Parable would be in the category "Parables".

I would suggest the having a short intro of the Parable, a summary or paraphrase of the Parable itself, and an explanation  of the Parable. You might even give context of the relating of the Parable, why it was given, responses to it etc. Nevertheless this sounds like a fairly easy yet interesting thing to write about. If you write  one I will clean it up a bit if need be and help guide you in the writing.

If you wanted to talk about what a Parable itself is, at this point the most proper place to describe this would be on the "Genre" section of each of the Gospels in explaining how the gospels use parables which are metaphorical, symbolic  and perhaps even real accounts that are recorded words of Christ.

To add you have done a nice job on the intro to Barnabas who is on the liturgical  calendar in June. The only thing to change is to remove the note at the bottom that says you are expanding it. This takes an outside scope from the content, makes the article look less professional, and can even discourage others from collaborating and adding on it. Very well written and original intro.
