Wiki
The Wiki is Sacred Wiki's encyclopedia. It has articles of three kinds:
| Kind | What it covers |
|---|---|
| People | Figures from Scripture and church history, with other names they're known by and, where known, birth and death dates. |
| Locations | Cities, regions, mountains, rivers and other places, usually with their modern name. |
| Items | Objects, artifacts and ideas, such as the Ark of the Covenant, the Dead Sea Scrolls or the Trinity. |
The home page shows how many of each the site has.
