Template talk:Infobox LDS Temple

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text:  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)
replies: text:  Ok, I added the syntax and syntax guide.  Now hopefully people will start using it.  I am going to look into the #switch statement to format the number. Bytebear 00:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: What about including the name of the current temple president on the template? –SESmith 07:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text:  I have added this field to the temples A-F and to this template. --Trödel 18:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Currently the article for the Kirtland Temple has two infoboxes, the LDS Temple one and another for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). I think it would be best to embed one into the other. Usually the NRHP infobox can be easily embedded into another infobox, but it's a little different with the LDS Temple infobox. I was able to embed the NRHP infobox into the temple infobox in my sandbox, but the embedded infobox is hidden in the collapsible section. Can this be changed so that embedded inboxes are not hidden?--Mangoman88 (talk) 23:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Ok so I'm guessing this is just a relic of the old ways... But is there a reason that this template is still done the way it is? Currently every page that uses this infobox, calls its own template and pulls the data from their. That completely 100% defeats the purpose of having a template... --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 06:16, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  What the heck?! 

message: and  have both recently been updated to automatically show dynamic mapframe maps by default. I am proposing to similarly show such maps by default for this template, with the same optional parameters to adjust the size, frame center point, initial zoom level, and marker icon; and to similarly allow the mapframe map to be turned off using . See Template:Infobox building#Mapframe maps and Template talk:Infobox building#Change to the map parameter so Kartographer works for further information.  - Evad37 [talk] 15:36, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mapframe maps? 

message: Hi y'all. I took some time to convert the infobox to use . You can find it at Template:Infobox LDS Temple/sandbox. If you see any issues, please let me know! I plan on merging it in maybe a month. To test, go to a church page and append the template invocation to use /sandbox. SWinxy (talk) 00:33, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking good! I think one thing i noticed though is that the Preceded by / Followed by sections don’t link automatically anymore Bluealbion (talk) 01:37, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice work. I have adjusted Template:Infobox LDS Temple/testcases to account for the way that this template is actually used in articles. I recommend finding a few unusual temple articles and copying them to the testcases page, and make sure that the test cases use all available parameters at least once. I notice that the "edit data" link is missing. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:58, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I added more to the testcases page, as well as updated the infobox to include the edit link. I added a random sample of them, rather than looking for the unusual ones. SWinxy (talk) 03:21, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Thanks for that. I modified it so that it looks like , and now links to the page. I don't know how best to label it, so I just put "Church chronology" lol. SWinxy (talk) 02:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That looks really good! Bluealbion (talk) 03:36, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I have poked at the sandbox a bit to try to auto-add a comma after the year in MDY dates. It works on the testcases, but there may be edge cases out there that cause a comma to appear when it should not. The live template is missing a comma after every MDY date, e.g. "May 1, 1999 by John Smith" is missing a comma after "1999". – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

text: That's just the input data. I allowed it despite MOS:IMAGESIZE. Should manually setting the size in pixels be removed? SWinxy (talk) 06:06, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think so. MOS says to use the default size, which is frameless. I have removed the image size specification, and the images all look good to me.  is available for images that need to be scaled up or down from the default for some reason. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:18, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the feedback, Jonesey95 and Bluealbion. Are there any other problems/concerns? If not, are you two both OK with an early merge? SWinxy (talk) 19:55, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: All of the testcases look good to me, and there are a lot of little improvements. I think we should make it live. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:35, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed Bluealbion (talk) 00:45, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I made one small change, I put the arrows above the temple name to make them always be aligned. If you guys don’t like the looks of it feel free to change it back. Bluealbion (talk) 00:52, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox conversion 

message: I made a change in the sandbox to make the infobox color a darker navy blue to match the LDS and BYU navboxes.  I think it looks more polished and will standardize colors for related topics. Any objections to changing the infobox color? Bluealbion (talk) 01:05, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
