Template:LDS Temple/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:LDS Temple. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Summary
[edit]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 }}.
Usage
[edit]This template's sub-pages contain data shared between many pages relating to temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
These pages include:
- List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A more detailed list is found in temples section in pages relating to country or state the temple is in. There were 126 of these pages as of September 2023.
- Comparison of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
- List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by geographic region
In addition, individual articles exist for each temple. The data on these sub-pages is used to create the info box. Substituting the infobox templates would be inappropriate because the data on these pages is shared - changing it here updates the infoboxes and all of the lists too.
