 * The page should also NOT be used to communicate ward and stake goals or be used by the ward to give announcements or local leadership responsibilities.

Doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints information in the Research Wiki

This includes PowerPoint presentations and other documents that may include doctrinal information in them. See the Wiki Purpose and Appropriate Topics for more information.
 * Doctrinal information of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does NOT belong on the pages of this Wiki.
