Hey everyone! I’m Victoria, an international student studying Media Practice at the University of Sydney. I’m a rookie navigator who has just embarked on an exciting voyage into the world of Wikipedia.
If knowledge is an ocean, my journey began in childhood, when the 'World Book Encyclopedia' by my bedside was my version of a bedtime story. Its illustrations of civilisations, star maps, and cultures from around the world kept me awake at night, picturing what the world might look like.
As a Gen Z who grew up in the digital age, Wikipedia became my portable "digital telescope," I’ve relied on this platform’s collective wisdom and collaborative knowledge to piece together my understanding of the world. From astrology, sociology, feminism, media studies, various entertainment industries(especially K-pop),to abstract concepts like metaphysics, I have always been able to find knowledge polished by countless anonymous editors. These intellectual prisms continue to refract unexpected insights, enriching my perspective in ways I never anticipated.
To me, Wikipedia has always felt like a dynamic feast of knowledge. Each article is an unfinished symphony, waiting for more voices to add their unique cultural notes to the melody. Now, I am truly excited to join this grand performance—learning the art of wikipedia editing, safeguarding the integrity of facts with solid citations, and filling knowledge gaps through a cross-cultural lens.
I hope to be an ocean current in Wikipedia’s sea of knowledge, bringing ideas from different continents to the harbours that need them.

[edit]Definition and Overview
[edit]Functionally, apsidioles provide space for side altars and relics, and accommodate the need for multiple priests to conduct different Mass (e.g. private or votive Masses) simultaneously. These spaces not only carry specific liturgical roles and traditions of relic display[1][2], but also serve as key visual and geometric units of the Chancel area (the liturgical east end of church buildings) at churches.
Origin and Evolution
[edit]Scholars generally regard the Church of St. Martin of Tours (France), rebuilt in 1014, as the first Romanesque church to incorporate five radiating apsidioles around the apse at the Chancel[3].
Structural Characteristics and Variations
[edit]If multiple chapels are required, they should be arranged in an odd-numbered and follow a symmetrical layout centred on the main axis[4].
Liturgical Roles
[edit]This is because when worshippers attending services in these chapels, they were often positioned with their backs to the high altar, which is regarded as a liturgically improper orientation[4].
