Aside from the note above about the request, it should remembered that this is not a correct edit. The succession being addressed is that of president of the Quorum of the Twelve, not as president of the church. Boyd K. Packer did succeed Monson as president of the Twelve, with Nelson then being the successor upon Packer's passing. ChristensenMJ (talk) 16:03, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References

Same Position Under 2 Church Presidents

Contrary to what is asserted in the infobox, Monson did not continuously serve as Second Counselor from November 10, 1985-March 3. 1995. He served as Second Counselor to Benson from November 10, 1985-May 30, 1994, then as Second Counselor to Hunter from June 5, 1994-March 3, 1985. There was no First Presidency between May 30 and June 5 1994. The infoboxes should not imply continuous service when that's inaccurate. This may be a wider problem in all infoboxes of First Presidency members. If that's something we need to discuss at the infobox level, I'd welcome the chance to do so. But this needs to be resolved. Thanks. Jgstokes (talk) 02:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
