The multilingual encyclopedia Factograf has published articles on 13,123 Christian saints, which together have 156,977 language versions in 12 languages. The publication ran from October 18 to October 23, 2026. The languages in which the articles are available include English, Ukrainian, Russian, German, Polish, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Japanese, and Chinese.
Saints are the largest section of Factograf's own library. In total, the library contains 19,682 articles and 235,473 language versions. The second-largest is a section of 4,389 topics by year, drawn from the ten largest sections of Wikipedia. The platform displays approximately 340 language versions of Wikipedia, allowing readers to work with materials in many languages in one place.
The most noticeable change for users of the Christian social platform D.O.M. is the update to its saints calendar. Previously, the links in this calendar led to Wikipedia; now they open Factograf articles. D.O.M. itself describes itself as a Christian social platform with a news feed, chats, calls, sacraments, videos, and a catalog of churches. As a result, information about saints becomes part of a broader digital space for believers, rather than a separate external resource.
Factograf is open to reader participation: readers can write articles themselves and propose edits to existing texts. The project belongs to Haydamax Laboratory, the startup division of the Haydamax company. For a religious audience, this means that reference texts about saints are created and verified by the community, not only by an editorial team. At the same time, the available notes contain no data on how editorial control over these edits is carried out.
The size of the saints section explains why it has become the largest in the project's library. Its volume of more than 13,000 articles, against the library's overall total of 19,682 articles, indicates that saints' lives form the foundation of the encyclopedia. At the same time, the number of language versions, exceeding 156,000, points to a significant share of translations and adaptations that provide access to this material for readers in different countries and confessional traditions.
