Usage
[edit]
This template is used to fill in |mark= value of {{Location map~}} only. It automatically fills icon color for temple status when {{LDS Temple}} is used in place of |mark= value. Use of this template is recommended since the status can change several times after the temple's announcement.

Site location
[edit]Site location is typically estimated within announced city until location is officially announced. For most temples, this will be the only time location changes. Difference between location in city and specific site is generally negligible. For maps that are further zoomed in such as metros, small states and countries, difference between announced city placement and site location can become more noticeable. It is recommended when transferring to or editing these maps to verify coordinates of these temples. All temples in operation or under construction as of June 2021 have accurate coordinates for location.

Don't use this template. Temples that don't change status and other church sites or facilities have no need for use of this template. These include:
= Temples that are permanently closed or efforts suspended will likely not see a change of status. Use |mark=ButtonGreen.svgin Template or remove from map.- = Stake centers. Use
|mark=ButtonGreen.svginstead. 
= District centers. Use |mark=ButtonOrange.svginstead.
= Meetinghouses. Use |mark=Purple pog.svginstead.
= Historic site/monument. Use |mark=Gold pog.svginstead.- (FHC) = Family History Center. Text (FHC) goes next to meetinghouse text. If no meetinghouse at or nearby FHC, use
|mark=White pog.svginstead and|text=City name (FHC). - In most (if not all) maps, discontinued temples and stake centers are not used on the same map. If the map requires both to be labled, then the color of either the discontinued/suspended temple or the stake center icons need to be of a different color. Green for stakes and purple for congregations matched color scheme for www.churchofjesuschrist.org. Orange was used to distinguish districts from stakes.
Do not place on map if icons and labels crowds the map, making it hard to read. Also, the more icons on a map, the more difficult to keep map updated as every icon needs to be verified when updating. Another way to not crowd is to not provide labels on all or certain categories of icons - assuming icons have their own space and map remains easy to read.
Date map. Use as of date to show when the map was produced and current to. Stakes, congregations, etc. are added, dissolved, and reclassified over time, and dates on the maps show readers when the map was effective.
