Add preset for Mormon churches #396

Open allisonpelton opened 2 years ago

All Mormon churches should have the following tags, in addition to the default church tags:

denomination=mormon
name=The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
operator=The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
operator:wikidata=Q42504

There are many Mormon churches with misspelled names (e.g. Latter Day Saints instead of Latter-day Saints). This issue would be resolved with a preset.

I don't get how adding the preset help with misspelled names. Can you elaborate on that?

I'm a bit on the fence if we should really include presets for individual denominations… because there are potentially a lot of them to support. Right now I don't see why we should only include a few selected denominations. There is already a field which indicates that a church is part of a particular denomination.

All churches within the religion have the same name. The church is very particular about its spelling. I believe this is a special case compared with other denominations because they're all centrally operated.

It looks like churches in non-English speaking countries use translations of the name, such as La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días for Spanish speaking coutries. I attempted to add this to NSI a couple months ago, but I found it difficult to restrict these names to the regions where they're used.
