The Mormon Collaboration is an effort to improve Mormon-related articles in Wikipedia, with a casual aim of creating a feature-standard article during the month-long cooperative editing process. Anyone can nominate an article or vote for a nominated article.
The project maintains a list of previously-nominated articles, a list of winning collaborations, and a partial list of participants in the project.

Voting
[edit]If you support an article, please vote by clicking on edit by the article's title, and add a new line with the text "# ~~~~". This will add your username and the time you signed automatically. Please add comments that might help others .
- Please only add support votes - opposing votes will not affect the result as the choice is done by approval voting (the most votes, wins). Note your opposition under the Comments section.
- Vote for as many candidates as you like.
- A vote implies that you will make some contribution to the article if it is chosen.
- Only registered users should vote.
- Being Mormon is not a requirement to vote!
Selection
[edit]Each month, the collaboration is chosen based on the article with the largest amount of support. In case of a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.
When a new selection has been made, the {{Current Mormon COTM}} template should be placed on the successful candidate's article page, and the following files need to be updated:
- Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration
- Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration/current, which will automatically update Template:Mormon COTM, Wikipedia:Goings-on and Wikipedia:Community Portal
- Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration/History
