What this page is not

Not a list of beliefs everyone in it held, and not a map of adherents.

What this means

A tradition is not a list of beliefs held by everyone in it, and an affiliation recorded on a person is not that person’s belief in every period of their life.

Nothing here is a map of adherents. Where people practised a tradition, and how many, needs a dataset with its own methodology, and this site does not have one — see the atlas for what it does show.

Its recorded date, 1984 CE – 22 March 1997 CE, is an inception — a claim about a beginning, usually contested, and never an attestation window.

Attributed founding

Whom the records name as founder

What this means

An attribution, and a contested one in most traditions: it does not mean the tradition began fully formed, nor that later adherents accept the attribution.

Does not imply that the tradition began fully formed · that later adherents accept the attribution

Connections

How Order of the Solar Temple connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Recorded events and days 3

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.

Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance
