Temple

Dmm1169 : Hi, thanks for fleshing out the article! The temple template seems unwieldy, especially with number 251 with no context (yes, I understand it is the 251st announced temple). The information within the template is already presented within the single sentence and hence duplicated. I am proposing keeping either the prose or template but my preference is keeping the prose (reasoning per previously). Thanks --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 06:53, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Justanothersgwikieditor Thank you for your input. Announced temples don't get their own page, and its temple page redirects to that location. It's much easier to find and link information to that location than to the announced section of List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where the template is lost in the crowd. Consequently, if anything, I would recommend removing the prose.--Dmm1169 (talk) 07:03, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore, Republic of Singapore Temple. Further reasoning on keeping the template and not the prose, is the template gets updated fairly quickly when it changes status such as Site Announced, Under Construction, Dedicated, Renovations, etc. (usually within ours of an announced changed). Consequently, it will give the page added updates when items are added to the template. Having the temple page relocate to this page also gives the reader access to church history and other information on the immediate area that relates to the temple.--Dmm1169 (talk) 07:09, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dmm1169, The same information is shown in prose and template as mentioned. I can see the advantage of the status change in the template, the link in the template is good for other articles to link to here but it does not have any benefits within this article since it will just redirect back to the same section. The link has no benefit for this article.

I am fine with keeping the template and removing prose, just that the template is 100% width which causes the article to be stretched out with empty space in the middle due to the infobox and template. If the template can be of variable width on individual article, it will be great. If there is a consensus on a MOS for layout of LDS church articles, it will be great also. -- Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 07:28, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Justanothersgwikieditor I understand your concerns when it comes to pages like this. I had inserted Template:Blank command just prior to this so the title would go with the content. Template:LDS Temple geographic region covers a narrower range but shows less content. I don't know if you can create a template that would fit these pages better. I'm not the best at crating templates which is why I search for already made ones instead.--Dmm1169 (talk) 07:59, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
