About HymnWiki

HymnWiki is a new site dedicated to hymns, primary songs, religious anthems, church music, and compilations of such, with a large focus on the music of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon church) - though it is meant for all church hymns, regardless of of affiliation. HymnWiki began in April of 2007. See About HymnWiki for more information.

Getting Started

See the help and the beginner's notes. Also see tutorials and templates.

Needed

1. We need editors to add topics to hymns. Go to a hymn, read the lyrics, figure out what topics it should go under (even if they don't yet exist on HymnWiki), and type [[category:TopicName]] for each topic, where TopicName is replaced by the name of the topic. Then, go to the topic (click on it), and put it in the topics category (if it isn't there already) - i.e. type [[category:Topics]] in the specific topic category page.
2. We need people to watch Ebay for hymnals (particularly LDS and lesser-known ones) that aren't listed on HymnWiki.
