(Created page with "'''Saintapedia''' is an online wiki dedicated to information about saints with Semantic mediawiki capabilities. It serves as an encyclopedia or a comprehensive resource for details about saints. While Saintapedia aims to be a factual repository, the nature of wiki platforms means that the depth, accuracy, and breadth of information can vary based on contributions. Always good to cross-reference religious or historical facts with authoritative sources if precision...") |

== What’s Saintapedia.org About? == | |||
Saintapedia.org is an easy-to-use online wiki packed with Catholic information, especially about saints, parishes, countries, and dioceses. It’s like a big digital library that organizes details in clear tables, making it simple to find facts about Catholic history and places. The site has over 4,500 pages, built by lots of people working together. | |||
== What Catholic Stuff Is on There? == | |||
* '''Saints''': It lists 478 saints, with details like their names, birth and death dates, where they lived, what they’re known for (like patronages), and their special feast days. For example, you can read about Saint Leopold III or the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. | |||
* '''Parishes''': There are 295 Catholic parishes listed, with info like their locations, who they’re dedicated to, and whether they have schools. Think of it as a guide to Catholic churches, like All Saints in Atlanta. | |||
* '''Countries''': It covers 212 countries, showing how many Catholics live there, who their patron saints are, and how many dioceses they have. For instance, you can see that Andorra has an 88% Catholic population. | |||
* '''Dioceses''': This section lists Catholic dioceses (like the Archdiocese of Atlanta), with facts about their bishops, schools, and when they were founded. | |||
=== Why Geography Stands Out === | |||
The site is great for exploring Catholic info tied to places. Want to know which saints are from Italy or how many Catholics live in Brazil? The tables make it easy to see this stuff by country, region, or diocese. It’s all organized so you can quickly find patterns, like where Catholicism is strong or which saints are celebrated where. | |||
=== How It’s Organized (Structured Data) === | |||
Saintapedia uses something called Cargo, which puts all this info into neat tables, kind of like a spreadsheet. This makes it super easy to search and sort through details, like finding all the parishes in a certain state or saints with a specific feast day. | |||
=== Dive Deeper with Cargo’s Drilldown === | |||
If you’re curious, you can use the site’s “drilldown” feature to dig into the data. It’s like a magnifying glass for exploring! You can filter saints by their home country, check parishes by city, or see which dioceses have the most schools. Just visit pages like '''/wiki/Special:CargoTables/Saints''' or '''/wiki/Special:CargoTables/Countries''' and try the drilldown tool to customize your search. | |||
== Why Check It Out? == | |||
Whether you’re a Catholic wanting to learn about your faith, a student studying history, or just curious, Saintapedia is a treasure chest of info. Its focus on geography makes it fun to see how Catholicism connects to different places around the world. Go explore and use the drilldown to find exactly what you’re looking for! | |||
