Shrine:

This page provides guidance on creating and editing articles about shrines on Saintapedia. Shrines are significant places of veneration, often associated with saints, relics, or religious events. This guide outlines the recommended structure for a shrine article and instructions for completing the [[Template:Shrine]] Cargo template, which stores structured data for queries and consistency across the wiki. == Article Structure == A shrine article should include the following sections to ensure comprehensive and consistent information: 1. **Infobox (Template:Shrine)**: Use [[Template:Shrine]] to display key details in a standardized infobox on the right side of the page. This template is populated via [[Form:Shrine]] and stores data in the Shrines Cargo table. 2. **Introduction**: A brief overview of the shrine, including its name, primary saint, location, and significance (1-2 sentences). 3. **History**: Details about the shrine’s establishment, historical events, and any notable developments. 4. **Veneration and Pilgrimage**: Information about the shrine’s role in religious practices, pilgrimage traditions, or associated festivals. 5. **Associated Saints**: A description of the saint(s) venerated at the shrine, with links to their Saintapedia pages. 6. **Location and Features**: Details about the shrine’s physical location, architecture, or notable relics/artifacts. 7. **References**: Cite reliable sources (e.g., diocesan records, historical texts, or official websites) to support the article’s content. 8. **External Links**: Links to the shrine’s official website or other relevant resources, if available. 9. **Categories**: Automatically added by [[Template:Shrine]], including [[Category:Shrines]], the diocese category, and a review level category (e.g., [[Category:AI-Generated]]). === Example Article Structure === <pre>{{Shrine |ShrineName=Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima |PrimarySaint=Our Lady of Fatima |AssociatedSaints=Francisco Marto, Jacinta Marto |Diocese=Diocese of Leiria-Fátima |City=Fátima |AdministrativeSubdivision=Santarém |Country=Portugal |ShrineLocation=39.6321,-8.6746 |MailingAddress=Cova da Iria, 2495-401 Fátima, Portugal |ShrineImage=File:FatimaShrine.jpg |ShrineWebsite=https://www.fatima.pt |Established=1917-10-13 |Description=A major Catholic pilgrimage site commemorating the Marian apparitions of 1917. |PilgrimageInfo=Annual pilgrimages on May 13 and October 13 attract millions of visitors. |ReviewLevel=3 }}</pre> The '''Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima''' is a Catholic pilgrimage site in Fátima, Portugal, dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima and associated with the apparitions witnessed by three children in 1917. == History == The shrine was established following the Marian apparitions reported by Lúcia Santos, Francisco Marto, and Jacinta Marto in 1917.
