I think it is an appropriate courtesy to Mormons to use the full title as it is presently given, if they care about it. A footnote symbol alerts the reader that there might be something more, and the footnote notes the title change. Nothing is being hidden, everything's on the up-and-up.

Now, [[User:Leader|Leader]], do you commonly refer to "The Holy Bible, Containing the Old Testament, and the New: Newly Translated out of the Original tongues: and with the former Translations diligently compared and revised, by his Majesty's Special Commandment.
