Good job on the infobox - I have made a few small changes - be bold if you don't like them. I have tried to keep the blue color in the title of LDS Infoboxes for a consistent look/feel to those areas. It seems a bit long when you look at it in the article - We probably will need to add info about rededication. --Trödel 18:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- PS What do you think about moving it to Template:LDS Infobox Temple in order to keep a consistent naming structure for the temples LDS x? --Trödel 18:06, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

- There is an entry for rededication and rededication_by, so I think we are covered there, unless you are thinking of something else. The naming convention is based on other infoboxes, specifically Template:infobox Film. I think we should follow the infobox naming convention (unless there isn't one). I would also like to add some #if statements on the temple number, so it will say something like "5th operating temple" rather than "Number: 5", but it needs some logic to handle the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Bytebear 07:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't catch the rededication parameters. That would work great. Your number issue would be some complex stuff - but I think you could do it with #switch - the only thing is you would need to parse the text of the parameter unless you wanted to list all the things like 1, 2, 3, 21, 22, 23, 31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43, 51, ... with other handling the "th". That's true: most of the infoboxes do use that format. I am not sure if that is a standard or a tradition. :) --Trödel 22:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Measurements
I added acres (square meters) as well as square feet (square meters). How accurate do we want these numbers to be? 6.5 acres doesn't seem particularly accurate, and converting to meters will give 26304 square meters, but do we want to just use 26300, or 26000 or what?

I think for the sq ft on "List of temples of CJC" I kept it to 3 sig digits. I think that 2 would probably be sufficient because the acreage is usually give to only 2 sig digits. --Trödel 03:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- I found this code on another template:
-
- {{!}} {{{height}}} ft ({{#expr: {{{height}}} * 0.3048 round 1 }} m) }}
- I am going to attempt to incorporate it into the template. Bytebear 22:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- I am getting a syntax error when I try to use this snippet. I can't figure it out. I am going to take a break, but if anyone wants to look at it, I welcome the help. Bytebear 22:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- I am a little tired - so I'll have to look later - I created the Wikipedia:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement/Temples page. Lets plan to automatically calculate the metric values. --Trödel 00:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goof
- Something went wrong. It is showing #if on the page. I tried to fix it to no avail. I think you will figure it out. I have been going through the pages, and adding the minimum info. I got to #4 SLC. It is slow coming. Bytebear 04:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] President
What about including the name of the current temple president on the template? –SESmith 07:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- I wouldn't oppose it, but I don't know where you'd get that info. It might be difficult to maintain since the presidents are constantly being called and released. Jaksmata 16:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- The information is easily accessible from the LDS Church magazine Ensign, which are available for free on lds.org. –SESmith 23:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
