{{Help Box}}
[[Saintapedia]] is so vast, with {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles today, that traditional ways of finding information on websites are insufficient.  The search box will navigate directly to a page, but this search box is also an interface to a powerful search engine.  Saintapedia's search box allows readers to ''[[Help:Search#Advanced search options|Advanced search options]]'' to better refine the search results that a bare word search might produce alone.

All Saintapedia articles are [[Internal link|linked]] or cross-referenced for ease of navigation through the encyclopedia. Where you see text like [[Help:Link|this]], it means there is a link to another article or Saintapedia page with further information if you need it. Holding your mouse over the link will show you where a link will take you. This means articles do not need to cover common ground in depth; instead, you are always one click away from more information on any point that has a link attached.

If you are not ready to be that bold, leave a comment on the [[discussion page]].
