Motivation

The Church of Sweden has a database with an entry for each diocese, and each pastorate in the diocese, and each church building (kyrke) in the pastorate. Wikidata has some entries for individual churches, but most articles are on the parish, and that article also has information on the church. I suggest that we add the link to the parish (församling) when we do not yet have an entry for the individual church building. We can always add the link to the church if someone decides to make an entry. We already have links to one Swedish code "Church of Sweden parish code" but that doesn't link to any searchable database. Church of Sweden ID links to a full history of each church. There are also pages for each pastorate that contains multiple churches and links to each diocese. This is similar to the Roman Catholic hierarchy database RAN (talk) 23:10, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
