In order to sort the list more efficiently, I think the addition of some main subcategories would be helpful. Although several pre-schism saints could remain in this exiting category, three additional subcategories could be added:

Eastern Orthodox Wonderworkers
Roman Catholic Wonderworks
Islamic Wonderworkers

Wikipedia should not have a category called Miracle Workers

Latest comment: 6 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Wikipedia should not have a category called Miracle Workers, since this seems to indicate that Wikipedia believes in miracles. The name should be changed to something like "Alleged Miracle Workers" or "People claimed to have performed miracles" etc. EntropyReducingGuy(I talk, but can reply slowly)💧♾️➡❄️📚 15:07, 8 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

What do miracle workers have to do with actual miracles? The category refers to practitioners of thaumaturgy (wonderworking), "the performance of magical feats through esoteric knowledge and ritual practice." Standard practice in Western esotericism. Dimadick (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
