Shintowiki Scripts

About the project

shinto.miraheze.org is an independent wiki documenting Shinto shrines, Japanese religious history, and related topics. It was founded after content created on English Wikipedia could no longer be maintained there, preserving thousands of articles about shrines, deities, and religious practices.

The wiki uses interlanguage link templates ({{ill}}) for every cross-wiki reference, and Wikidata integration ({{wikidata link}}) to connect pages to the linked data ecosystem. Every page is linked to its Wikidata item where one exists.

Wikidata integration progress

? pages are currently in Category:Pages without wikidata. It is a single flat maintenance category fed by two mechanisms — not a list of permanently-unconnectable pages.

The wikidata_lookup step reads each page's interlanguage links (e.g. [[ja:…]]), queries Wikidata's sitelinks API, and — when the links agree on one item — writes the QID into {{wikidata link}}. If the links disagree it flags the page for review rather than guessing.

Automated maintenance

The shintowiki-scripts repository runs a daily GitHub Actions pipeline that performs automated maintenance on the wiki. All edits are made by User:EmmaBot with transparent edit summaries linking back to the workflow run.
