Formatting Lodge/Body names

For consistency, please format Lodge names as: [Lodge Name] No. [Number], Body].

All subordinate masonic bodies (lodges, councils, etc) follow the format of Name-Type-Number-Body. If the body is in the name it can also be excluded. The body is a separate wikilink to the body page using its abbreviation and is excluded for Lodges. If two lodges share the same name and number, append the jurisdiction afterward. For example:

• Yeatman Lodge No. 162
• St. John's Lodge (London) and St. John's Lodge (Massachusetts)
• Overton Lodge No. 5
• Lodge of Amity No. 5
• Delta Chapter No. 38, RAM

• Henry A Weeks Council No. 173, R&SM
• Valley of Cincinnati, AASR, NMJ
• Black Canyon Council No. 318, AMD

Examples:

• Yeatman Lodge No. 162
• Hiram Lodge No. 1 (Florida)
• Hiram Lodge No. 1 (Kansas)
• St. John's Lodge (London)
• St. John's Lodge (Massachusetts)
