This page contains guidelines for and documentation of the templates used in conjunction with temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
- Pictures of the temples - 106 of the 145 Temples (73%) have pictures (103 of the 128 dedicated temples - 80%)
- Thanks to Remember the dot for scouring flickr and elsewhere for properly licensed pictures
Summary
Each temple has a data page that stores the data to be used in the templates, of the form: Template:LDS Temple/Temple name. All the templates that format temple data use a single set of data for each temple. Thus updating the data for each temple will only need to be done in one location.
Using the data in multiple locations is accomplished by transcluding the datapage along with a format parameter, which indicates which template to use. Thus the calls to transclude temple data will be a call of the form {{LDS Temple/Temple name | format= format template }}.
Templates utilized
Data Templates
- {{LDS Temple}} and its sub-pages

Implementation
- This creation of the data page has been implemented for all temples.

- Discuss and decide whether to use the *_link variables to link only each person's name only once or only every so often on the lists.
List of fields

Notes
- ^ Are wikilinks allowed on the data page. Abbreviations:

yes - wikilinks should be used
optional - wikilinks can be optionally included on data page - ^ Templates in which the paramter is used
- ^ Fair use images should not be used on the data page since that would hurt any temple related pages that have featured status.
- ^ a b c Must not be wikilinked on data page - Use groundbreaking_link, dedication_link, or rededication_link to indicate links are needed
- ^ a b c If value is not yes then groundbreaking_link, dedication_link, or rededication_link will have no effect
- ^ All levels should be wikilinked 1) city, town, or local area; 2) state or political subdivision; 3) country
- ^ Formatting on data page will allow flexibility in abbreviations, etc.
- ^ a b c Wikilink in dataset so display text can differ from article title
- ^ If article exists wikilink on data page
- ^ a b c Value will be automagically converted to metric by templates
- ^ link to Wikipedia article if exist, or provide link to http://www.lds.org/placestovisit/ if no article
