Talk:List of places of worship in the City of Leeds

Church of England denomination
This article has a mixture of Anglican and Church of England wording for churches with a Church of England (Anglican) denomination. For consistency these should be the same - is there any preference for which wording should be adopted? - BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:11, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The term Anglican is the broader term, including churches abroad which are not formally part of the CofE. I think that in Leeds the narrower term will be generally applicable, which is consistent with being more precise with all places, where the information is available.

 * Agreed - done - BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:48, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Closed or disused places of worship
Would this not be better entitled "Former places of worship" since many buildings have a new secular use but are neither closed nor disused? Chemical Engineer (talk) 20:20, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Sub-section headings
Each of the locality sub-section tables in this article starts with a heading comment which commences "Order: denomination (descending order of number of places of worship, then alphabetically ...)". What is the relevance of this? Most of the tables appear to list places of worship alphabetically, albeit they are sortable, but I can't see any which are listed in a descending order of the number of places of worship by denomination in that locality. Suggest we remove the "descending order of number of places of worship" wording? - BobKilcoyne (talk) 15:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree I always ignored it. Alphabetical makes more sense. Chemical Engineer (talk) 15:58, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * So I have removed them.Chemical Engineer (talk)

Sub-section titles
I think it would be useful to make each section title a wikilink, as I have done with Adel so that anyone who is not sure of the area referred to can go straight to the article. (I think this is not wikistyle for general articles, but it works for me. It is also not necessary to repeat the name of the area, nor Leeds in the location of each. Postcodes are helpful to find them on maps, so I put them in where I can.  However, note that websites giving contact addresses sometimes give the postcode for the house of the priest.

 * So I have wikilinked the area tities.Chemical Engineer (talk) 11:47, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

General Issues (minor)
It is old-fashioned to have a full stop after "St". Wikipedia articles generally do not, so links here that do are redirected. (See Manual_of_Style) There is no point adding a comment on the location of the church "This church is situated on XXXXXX" when that information is already given in the location box.

Major Sources
I have added this section at the top, so that they are references 1,2,3,4. If you wish to use them, note that they each have a name, so you can just put ref name=Minnis/ inside <> to cite the first one. They are all available on the internet, though Minnis is also a book. I have given a link here as well as in the reference, because it is a long way down to the references if you want to go directly! Chemical Engineer (talk) 10:58, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Religious buildings and places of worship
Note that on Wikimedia Commons the category 'Places of worship in Leeds by location' is within the category 'Religious buildings in Leeds'. However, there is a distinction between Religious Buildings (those built or converted principally for religious use) and Places of Worship, which is frequently a room inside a much larger secular building.
 * 1 I propose that the listed building designation should not be used where the place of worship is only a small rented part of a listed building.
 * 2 How far do we want to go with rooms that are rented once a week for a small group to meet? Some of these do not last long, and may move around a lot, potentially giving a large number of 'Former places of worship'.  I propose that this is should only be used for former Religious Buildings.

Gateland Lane, Shadwell
@Chemical Engineer, the article refers to a demolished church site at 23 Gateland Lane whereas the photograph is 25 Gateland Lane. Whilst recognising that plots from around 600 years ago are not aligned with modern property numbers, I wonder whether the property numbers referenced should still be the same?

 * Done, thanks. Chemical Engineer (talk) 22:24, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
