 == Numbering Under Construction and Announced temples == 

 With the use of the data template for temples under construction - I think we should discuss the numbering issue again. Typically we have numbered temples on this page using the following rules 
 # Dedicated temples numbered as on lds.org 
 # Under construction temples by date of groundbreaking 
 # Announced temples by date of announcement 
 This means that temples that are announced but have difficulty getting started have a changing number as other temples have ground breakings and skip ahead. The same thing happens when a temple under construction is completed faster than ones started before it, since when it is dedicated its number changes to match the numbering on lds.org. Thus all temples numbered under 2 or 3 are tentative. 

 I think having the temple have a number on the temple's individual page that is tentative could be confusing - and at least one other person agrees as the data templates that have been created and used for Infoboxes sometimes say TBD for the number.  

 On the other hand the numbering doesn't really mean anything and we could continue the practice of italicizing them so that they are differentiated.  

 I plan to use the numbering that we have always used on this page unless there are substantive objections and consensus is reached on an alternative solution.  "
