Requesting a custom map

I am a stake clerk for a YSA stake. We have 23 stakes that feed into our, one YSA stake. I am hopeful I might be able to get a map similar to the one we already have access too in LCR that shows our stake boundaries and wards, however I would like to overlay the the stake boundaries that feed into us. Is anyone aware where I could go to request such a map? I appreciate the help!

I would start by contacting the GSD.

GSD?? Who are they and how do I contact them?

I thought we were not supposed to post GSD contact information in this forum?

We have been requested to not post the telephone number. Posting links to the Help Center Contact Us page and the WIKI page is permitted. The Help Center Contact Us page access is calling dependent. The WIKI is open to the public. The problem with the WIKI is the information can be out of date. But in this case it is not.

Well, that seems confusing to me, as the phone number is clearly visible when one clicks on the link. I logged out, cleared cookies and cache and clicked on the link. The phone number can be seen by anyone. It is not calling dependent.

The Help Center article now redirects to the wiki (which is why I linked there instead of to the old Help Center article). The wiki page was updated during 2022 to the current information by a church employee.

Agreed. But that was what was asked of us.

So it's all right to post a link with the phone number but not the phone number itself. Is that correct?

Correct. Until we get further, or new, direction we will comply with the do not post the number instruction.

We haven't been told not to.

I personally wouldn't post a link to some random page with the number. But right now the wiki page is the only place that I know of where the number is listed. If we don't link to that page then we have no way of helping people contact the GSD. If CHQ doesn't want the number publicly available they need to provide a calling-protected location again.

However, for practical reasons, I think linking is better than posting a number directly because it has regional specific numbers and (hopefully) it will be updated with any changes which will hopefully make it less likely that any given post has stale information.

Late addition:

After some additional searching I found that the following URL doesn't redirect to the wiki but it isn't calling-protected either: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/too ... t?lang=eng

The number is also available from the Contact Us menu option in LCR which is calling protected.

I'm happy to limit where I link to (and have someone edit previous posts) but right now it looks like the number is publicly available. In fact, a google search for "Church of Jesus Christ Global Service Department" brings up this link as the first item and the wiki page as the second.
