A few Wikipedians have come together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about saints. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles! This WikiProject aims primarily at standardizing the articles about people venerated by some Christians as saints or the blessed and making sure that they maintain a NPOV.
In the Roman Catholic Church the term "saint" refers to both the holy men, women and angels on Earth and in Heaven—however, since the 10th century, the title "Saint" is only given to persons who have been officially recognized (canonized) by the Church. Those given the title informally, prior to the establishment of the canonization process, are generally still considered both "saints" and "Saints."
Non-Christian Saints: If there is an interest in including saints from religions other than Christianity, please propose those changes on our talk page and we can integrate them into the wikiproject.
Subpages
WikiProject Saints maintains a number of subpages in order to organize the work that is done here. Please feel free to pick out a page and help out.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:WikiProject Saints articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
The following articles within the scope of this project have been selected by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team for inclusion in one or more release versions.
Where appropriate, the "Saint" infobox should be added to articles. If help is needed, see the instructions for use of the infobox (includes information about the various parameters).
