How to Contribute

You can help improve this collection of holy writings by contributing in the following ways:

• Find other language versions: If you find a prayer in a different language that matches one on this site, please send the Phelps code (if available) or the link of the page from this site, along with the link of the matching prayer, to [email protected]. You can also use the "Prayer Matching Helper" tool above to collect items and submit them.
• Contribute directly on DoltHub: You can contribute directly to the database on dolthub.com/holywritings/bahaiwritings. This is a version-controlled SQL database where you can propose changes.
• Fork the database on DoltHub: To make more extensive changes, experiment, or manage your own version, you can fork the repository on DoltHub.
• Match prayers on TiddlyWiki: Visit tiddly.holywritings.net/workspace to match prayers. Save your results and email the saved page to [email protected].
• Assign missing Phelps codes: This page uses codes based on the unique codes per Bahá'í work from the Partial Inventory by Steven Phelps.
  • Your task is to identify the prayer in the Inventory. If found, use its assigned code.
  • If the prayer is part of a larger work (e.g., a prayer from the Kitáb-i-Aqdas), a three-letter suffix (often mnemonic) should typically be appended to the main work\'s Phelps code (e.g., BH00001 for aqdas plus the suffix LOV becomes BH00001LOV).
  • If a prayer is not in the inventory, please contact Steven so it can be included.
  • You can use the "Add/Suggest Phelps Code" button on a prayer\'s page (if it lacks a code) to add this information to your item list for submission.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated!
