Membership History Intervals[edit]

I noticed irregular intervals in Membership History in recent years. To be consistent with other population history tables such as state population history, I appears 10-year interval with most recent reported year also listed would be sufficient to keep the table from being longer than needed. In the 1980s and 1990s the Church didn't release geographic membership data on even numbered years, and didn't release data in 2020. So most LDS in [state/country] pages (in areas where the church has been around for a while) uses years ending with a zero dates then years ending with a nine, starting in 1979 or 1989, to stay as consistent as possible. If there's a better preference/standard let me know. Thanks,-- Dmm1169 (talk) 14:02, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Make Separate page for Temple List?[edit]

There is currently 28 temples in Utah, and is already taking up a substantial portion of the page. Would a page called "List of temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah" be better?

Or use an abbreviated list of temples with a small image and limited details? or Both (new page with full template and abbreviated on current)?

My thoughts: After announcement of temple #30, make new page for detailed list and maps. State number of operating, UC, & announced temples on current Paige and use "see also" template to link to list page. List page would include header, list of temples, reflist, and similar bottom templates as current page. It could be divided by county or listed chronologically as it appears here. Thoughts?--Dmm1169 (talk) 14:43, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
