&lt;h2 align="center" style="margin-bottom: 17px;"&gt;Welcome to the Bahá'í9 Wiki page!&lt;/h2&gt;

We are building an online [[Bahai9:Copyrights|open-content]] Bahá'í site inspired by the open-content [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]] project. '''''Note:''' This is a [[Bahai9:compendium|compendium]], not an encyclopedia where articles are written under an essay style with paragraphs as at Wikipedia (see our [[Bahai9:site rules|site rules]]).''&lt;br /&gt;

We started at an [https://bahai-library.com/wiki earlier site] in November 5, 2003 (this incarnation in August 17, 2004), and we are now working on [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles.  Learn [[Help:Editing|how to edit pages]] or feel free to experiment here: [[Bahai9:Sandbox|Sandbox]].

Pages onsite here have been monitored at least through October 1, 2016, but please read this important [[Bahai9:Disclaimer|Disclaimer]].&lt;br /&gt;
