Royalty Baptism not available
It would be completely helpful in us fixing this large family tree to change the color of the temple for Royalty that does NOT have their baptism etc. shown as available to do or needs more information. I mainly concentrate on fixing duplicates and errors in the tree, and going to all the yellow temples that cannot be done is frustrating :p
Example: Kings, Queens, princesses! ;)

If they could be turned grey as well, or a new color would be fun! Purple for royalty, but I'm sure the greyed out option would be easier on the IT people! :)
TTFN, I am doing this weekly challenge of finding names for the temple to give President Nelson a gift for his 99th Birthday! 🎂
thanks for listening!

According to both church and FamilySearch policy, you cannot reserve ordinances for someone who you are not related to. (Exceptions are made for adopted relatives.)
People who belonged to certain churches, such as the Roman Catholics, are also unavailable at the request of the churches in question. Many early royalty were members of this church.
In addition, all people are equal in the eyes of God. Why would they spend time to add a specific color for royalty, when their royalty status ultimately means nothing in the spiritual sense? The common people and royalty alike need the ordinances equally, with nobody getting special treatment. If there was a specific color for royalty, it could encourage people to seek out only the royalty for the bragging rights, and everyone else becomes at risk of being ignored.
As for fixing the errors, that's a good thing! I've encountered many people on the FamilySearch tree who simply never existed, such as King Arthur Pendragon or Thor Odinson. I have also seen real historical figures with fake family members added. Many people would just submit them without paying any attention, so good on you for making sure everything is correct beforehand.
