==Purpose of article==

Not all of these articles are about mormonism, such as the years. they mention Mormonism.. this article should be renamed (moved).

Line 58 ⟶ 64:

::As for ''who'' should be on the list, people like [[Orson Scott Card]] should be on the list. Even though he would be famous even if he weren't LDS, he is a strong member of the Church and sometimes even an outspoken apologist. So, even though he is not known because he is Mormon, he is known as being Mormon. I hope that was clear. :-S [[User:Frecklefoot|<nowiki></nowiki>]]&mdash; [[User:Frecklefoot|Frecklefoot]] | [[User talk:Frecklefoot|Talk]] 21:41, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

:My head keeps trying to make this ''Latter Day Saint Historians'' - probably because Arrington leads the list. Should we have such a category in this list? See existing category: [[Latter Day Saint Historians]]. [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 02:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

::Note that [[Latter Day Saint Historians]], and two related categories, are being considered for deletion or renaming. Please express any opinions. [[Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 April 17 | Attention: Categories up for deletion or movement]]

::*5.2.22 Category:Latter Day Saint history to Category:History of Mormonism

::*5.2.23 Category:Latter Day Saint History Books to Category:History books about Mormonism

::*5.2.24 Category:Latter Day Saint Historians to Category:Historians of Mormonism

::Thanks. [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 10:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

== Relief Society Presidents ==

Line 63 ⟶ 77:

:I personally would suggest leaders. -[[User:Visorstuff|Visorstuff]] 00:15, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

:will do. [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 07:10, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

== Alphabetizing Names and Topics ==

I started alphabetizing the leaders section/creating two subsections in each group. Do you think this is worthwhile? Placing entries in "order" should make it easier to find items/names and might make it easier for new articles to be inserted. [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 07:10, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

:I think alphabetizing is a useful action.--[[User:Paul D. Anderson|andersonpd]] 17:41, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

== Name Tag ==

It's hard to rename a list. In light of the self-reference tag, how about ---

::List of topics about Mormonism

::List of Mormon related topics

::Mormon subjects by category

::Mormon topics by category

::Index of topics about Mormonism

::Resource index about Mormonism

or should we move the page into the LDS project pages and keep the present name? [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 00:47, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't see where the self-reference is. [[User:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] 23:30, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

== Cleanup - please adopt the [[Root page]] concept ==

The Root page concept is now taking shape with forward and backward linking. Properly used it would reduce this page to just ten or twenty branch links, each themselves root pages for a further ten or twenty branches. This eliminates the need for complete listing, and facilitates easy navigation backwards or forwards. --[[User:Lindosland|Lindosland]] 18:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

== New Joseph Smith articles ==

What would be the appropriate placement for the new sub-articles on Joseph Smith, Jr.? Under his name, under Presidents of the Church, or should we have a new subcategory ''Origins of the Latter Day Saint Movement''? Ideas? [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 02:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

== post-mortem baptisms ==

There's long been talk of a ritual of the Mormons in which the dead are 'converted' to Mormonism. It's reputed to be one of the reasons for their genealogical works. From what I've heard, it's got somethign to do with 'sealing them to the church'. Where's the relevant article on it? thanks. [[User:ThuranX|ThuranX]] 06:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

:Check out ''[[Baptism for the dead]]''. :) -[[User:Porlob|Porlob]] 18:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

== Why does this article exist? ==

Shouldn't this be a category? [[User:Bytebear|Bytebear]] 19:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

:Actually, I think it would be better as being added to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement/Articles]] page, as that also would allow people to use it to monitor recent changes. I am in the process of adding the most narrow-range banner to all sorts of religion articles, including LDS (though not in the past few days), and will eventually (I hope) have all the articles mentioned on that list. But, right now, there are a couple of projects which don't have as clearly defined a scope, at least in terms of categories, and I'm working on them now, so as to know get the narrowest-scope, most directly relevant, banner on all the religion pages.

::This was the front-runner of the current project, and I have to admit a bit of a pet project that took a lot of my time in creating and gathering the articles. It contains (or should contain) a list of all LDS/Mormonism categories. It has been highlighted as a decent list for navigation, and was one of the main examples in the ill-fated root page project for navigation. It is still a great example of navigation on wikipedia and I disagree with it being moved for many reasons, but will accept a consensus if that's what it comes down to.

::I can agree that it ''could'' be a sub-page of the project, however, I do not like the sub-page strategy (nor do many others), and at one time early in the project, nearly all sub-pages were destroyed - certainly sought out and re-directed if possible, aside from user sub pages. Now they are on the rise again, and I think they'll meet the same fate again. I think the loss of this content would be a great loss to those of us in the project who use it regularly. Rather we should have the sub-page redirect here, rather than having this be a sub-page. Make sense? In any case, it is listed on the [[WP:LDS]] project page. Hope this helps give context. -[[User:Visorstuff|Visorstuff]] 20:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

:PS: this is a [[Wikipedia:Lists|list]] not an "article," which are quite standard on Wikipedia to exist. -[[User:Visorstuff|Visorstuff]] 20:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

==Tree of Life==

I was editing the [[First Book of Nephi]] and noticed that there is no article about Lehi's dream of the Tree of Life. Or am I just missing it? [[User:Val42|Val42]] 03:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

== [[WP:ASR|Avoid self references]] ==

This page does not belong in article space as it is. It should either be stripped of its [[WP:ASR|self-references]] (ie, name it "List of LDS topics", remove references to "Wikipedia" and "articles") or it should be moved to WP: space. --[[User:B|B]] ([[User talk:B|talk]]) 04:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

:Self-references were removed. -- [[User:OlEnglish|<span style="font-size:x-large;">&oelig;</span>]][[User talk:OlEnglish|^&trade;]] 05:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
