This page explains the format of articles about saints in the [[:Category:Saints]] category and serves as a guide for editors to create and improve these articles. It’s designed for people new to wikis, MediaWiki, or our system for saint articles. You’ll learn how to create a saint article using a prompt, understand the standard article structure, and—most importantly—how to enhance articles beyond their initial drafts to make them more accurate, detailed, and engaging. We encourage human editors to refine these articles using the AI scale (`ReviewLevel`) to track improvements.
