-'''WikiShia''' is a a virtual encyclopedia being published on the Internet and its goal is to explain all concepts and issues related to knowing [[Twelver Shia]] (Imamiya) (including issues in history, geography, [[fiqh]], [[principles of fiqh]], concepts, beliefs, names, etc.). Also, concepts, glossary and names required for explanation of the mentioned issues will be explained.
+'''WikiShia''' is a free online encyclopedia about Shi'a, one of the major denominations in [[Islam]]. This wiki contains more than 7000 pages about Shi'a in 8 languages including English, Farsi, Spanish, Turkish, French, Arabic, Urdu, Bahasa. WikiShia which is affiliated with [[Ahl Al-Bayt World Assembly]], was officially lunched On [[June 22]], 2014 in the International Congress of Sibt al-Nabi (a) in Tehran, by Hasan Rohani, the president of the [[Islamic Republic of Iran]].
-WikiShia avoids presenting personal and novel analyses and opinions. Judgment about scholarly and historical disagreements is left to readers; thus, WikiShia is neutral in this regard.
+The word "Shi'a" literally means "follower". This term is used for the people who believe in [['Ali b. Abi Talib]] as the first successor of [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], in religious leadership and the [[Caliphate]] of Muslims. WikiShia provides the visitors and readers with information about [[Shia's twelve Imams]] and their families as well as the political, social and cultural aspects of their lives. This wiki is managed by a group of scholars in [[Qom]], [[Iran]].
-Due to the existence of religious disputes, contributors will try their best to benefit from original sources agreed by both major Islamic schools of thought ([[Shia]] and [[Sunni]]).
