Scope
This is a WikiProject on elements of the Latter Day Saint movement, Mormonism, Latter Day Saint history, doctrine, practices, and other cultural effects inspired by Joseph Smith, Jr..
See also: List_of_articles_about_Mormonism
This project is closely related to Wikipedia:WikiProject Utah and Wikipedia:WikiProject Brigham Young University
Project Style Guidelines
See:
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Latter Day Saints)
- Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Latter Day Saints)
- Standards for Temples
- Standards for Navigation boxes
Some quick points to remember:
- Articles wholly pertaining to the Latter Day Saint movement should be parenthesized "(Latter Day Saints)", unless the article name is unambiguous without the parenthetical.
- Articles should not be limited to a single Latter Day Saint denomination, unless including the entire Latter Day Saint movement is impractical or awkward. For example, instead of "Restoration (Community of Christ)" or "Restoration (LDS Church)", you would call the article Restoration (Latter Day Saints).
- In article names, references to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should capitalize the initial The and include a hyphen and a lower-case "d".
- In general, use the term Mormon or its derivatives only when referring to people or denominations with historical ties to Utah-based The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- Deadlinks are discouraged as they tend to attract POV material on religious subjects.
- Apply the {{LDS-stub}} boilerplate message at the end of stubs.
Timeline
There's a timeline based on LDS (1850s-on) and Mormonism (centuries and 1820s-1840s) in general. For specific dates (eg, June 1, 1944) you should link normally. You should also show a link to the timeline somewhere on the page (probably in "see also" or in See ... bits) as appropriate. You can start here to see the timeline: 19th century (Mormonism).

Script-generated to-do lists
/Articles needed
553 red links compiled from nearly all of the articles in the Category:Mormonism hierarchy. I've listed the Mormonism-related articles that employ each red link because many of them are obvious mistakes that should be fixed on the page. Some should also be redirects to prevent similar mistakes in the future. I've also listed the number of main namespace links-to.
Many of these have nothing whatsoever to do with the Latter Day Saint movement, but I believe this list is interesting. Many secular links need to be fixed anyway.
Make intentions to write articles known on the project page — Cool Hand Luke 07:36, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
/Requested stubs
This list compiled from Category:LDS stubs, listed in order of number of links-to, excluding wikilinks from user pages and wikipedia namespace. Note that the {{LDS-stub}} template causes every LDS stub to have a self-referential link. Therefore, every article has one less link-to than this list shows. Thus, articles listed her have one less link-to than it would appear. Therefore the articles with "1" link-to are in fact orphans. Cool Hand Luke 07:36, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Heh. this dif shows that Mormon (prophet) is now beating Spencer W. Kimball for links. Meanwhile, Hyrum Smith has gained nine links since November, jumping up into the top ten. Cool Hand Luke 07:45, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Tasks/projects accepted
I've decided to start tackling the temples list. Does anyone know of someplace that offers fair use pictures of any of the temples? Sue Anne 22:57, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've been adding lists of current and former Temple presidents to the pages, but those additions are being reverted. Are you like me and think that who has presided over Temples is of note? Anyways, would just like your thoughts.--Carterdriggs 08:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Liberty Jail - I've added a lot of material to this recently, still have a couple more sections to add. 74s181 13:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I apologize - I was negligent in adding my projects to this list. For anyone interested in critiquing, reviewing or editing, I have been working on the following tasks:
- Expansion of stub Nahom to full article.
- Expansion of stub Bountiful (Book of Mormon) to full article.
- Complete reorganization of Archaeology and the Book of Mormon
- Created article Limited Geography Model (Book of Mormon)
- Created article Mormonism Unvailed
- Expansion of article An Insider's View of Mormon Origins
- Creation of stubs for Shazer and Joseph Smith: The Making of a Prophet

Help wanted
- DavidBailey is looking for help with writing an article about Duty to God. You can contact him on his talk page or edit the article at Duty to God Award.
- Jgardner is looking for help in writing biographies on the church leaders. Contact him on his talk page if you want to help. He can show you what he is doing and where to go to get information. Even if you aren't a good writer, there is plenty of other work needed in correlating dates and various things.
- bhludzin - thank you for everyone who has done such a great job on the List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are now articles on all of the existing temples. Now we need properly licensed pictures of all of the temples uploaded to Wikipedia so that they can be added to the articles and also to the list (check out the list - it is looking great!) I have gone to web sites, found some pictures, and asked the owners for permission via e-mail, and uploaded them. Please do not upload pictures without permission, the bots will just remove them. If you have any photos, or have friends with photos, please upload them. Thank you!
- DAde - He needs help because his Portal:Latter-day Saints is sometimes vandalised. Please look on his portal and correct vandalism.
- Jerry Crimson Mann is translating the article Mormon handcart pioneers into Chinese. He wants to know about the title of a book listed in the references, which is "Hafen and Hafen". What does "Hafen" mean in this case? Does it refer to "heaven"? Or does it mean "harbor" in the German language? He's looking forward to your reply. :)
- The Eight Witnesses article is sometimes vandalised with anti-mormon bias. Please look on this page and revert anti-mormon bias.
- Mormon pioneers
is the current collaboration of the month.I would like to add the non-commercial LDS movies, Legacy: A Mormon Journey to the external Links section.I think to upload this movie on http://video.google.com/ would not be a problem because LDS movies like The Restoration (Google Video) are also on http://video.google.com/ .But I can not upload this movie because I do not have it and I´m from Europe and I´m not a mormon. So please, is there someone out there who can upload this movie on http://video.google.com/ and share it with us?Daniel3 17:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Chiros Sunrider will soon be attempting to create a Book of Mormon category template. He would like a good image of golden plates (which is useable per WP:IUP) to use for it, preferably similar to this image. Any help would be appreciated.
- The Spanish es:Wikiproyecto:Movimiento de los Santos de los Últimos Días needs to establish some style guidelines. If you know Spanish, please drop in and give us your opinion. Tom Haws 21:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
