Web Address Changes

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made an announcement regarding changes to web addresses (URLs) for many of their websites. Due to these announcements, I feel the addresses listed on this page should be updated where needed. These changes are official as of March 5, 2019 (today). However, at the moment the new sites are mostly redirects to the old ones. The changes are as follows:

While these changes are due to the new guidelines set by the Church, which is different from the current Wikipedia guidelines, the websites are actually changing, and therefore I feel should be updated. However, given the conflicts between guidelines, I felt it was best to submit as a request rather than make the edits myself. Neard (talk) 01:54, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, this one is easy. Once the new sites are active and not just redirects to the old one, then the external links should be updated. —C.Fred (talk) 02:32, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am with C.Fred on this one. The same Church statement noting these changes also states that implementing them will take time, and that until they are fully implemented, the present links will work. Until the links are officially changed, any alterations here would just result in redirects. Best to keep it as is until the changes are officialy in effect. --Jgstokes (talk) 05:15, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They have changed. DavidBailey (talk) 03:19, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all! I agree with the community's current decision to leave church nicknames and abbreviations as currently published, but I noticed in the name and legal entities section of this article that it is phrased like the church still tolerates such nicknames. I propose we change that section to reflect the changes. Thoughts?Rollidan (talk) 16:38, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the nicknames should be removed almost completely, but that is a talk for elsewhere. I agree that, if nothing else, that section should be changed. Rorix the White (talk) 21:13, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And I concur as well. Unless anyone else objects, let's get that done. --Jgstokes (talk) 21:49, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

edit

please change our church website to its new name of churchofjesuschrist.org Jonathanr1719 (talk) 05:02, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: churchofjesuschrist.org redirects to lds.org, so it makes sense to continue to use that url until the site actually moves. Bradv🍁 05:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Church website move

Hi all! Just informing the community regarding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that the bulk of the main church website, lds.org, has been moved to the new URL, churchofjesuschrist.org. In other words, I would say it is now appropriate to change references and other mentions of the website to reflect that change. Note that the church newsroom, mormonnewsroom.org, has not been moved yet and thus those references should not be changed. I appreciate any additional thoughts.

I would also test the URLs to make sure that they work before publishing the article Rollidan (talk) 16:11, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of "the"

Hwangfan, what's with removing the definite article from in from of Community of Christ, as in this edit? Are there particular grammar rules that only apply to this article? – bradv🍁 15:48, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is not grammar. It is a matter of style guidelines that can be known through other sources rather than just primary sources. I included it in my reverse edit from another user. Here is the citation:
“I learned that, actually, the church is not referred to as the Community of Christ; it’s referred to as Community of Christ.”- John Dehlin

We have our own manual of style though, and we follow English grammar rules, which are not subject to editorial control by the subject of the article. Please don't change this again. – bradv🍁 16:00, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, this style guide from the Mormon Historical Association Journal with its notation on Community of Christ should fill this gap. CofC's peronal website is undergoing construction and that style guide is unavailable at this time. Pay attention to pg. 5
