Wrong. There are 15 prophets. There have always been 15 with the exception being the time before someone is replaced because of death.ALL: From Primary 5: Doctrine and Covenants: Church History: The Prophet Receives Revelation for the Church
So compare what these Mormons say?
Stormprepper says the Mormon church has 15 active prophets -- unless/until one of them dies...(he is referencing the Lds "Quorum of 12 'apostles'" + the three in the First Presidency.)
But what does the Mormon Church itself say about the number of Lds "prophets" who at any given time have the authority to give revelations for the church?
Who was originally appointed to receive commandments and revelations for the whole Church? (D&C 28:2; 43:2–5.) Why was this done? (D&C 43:6.) What might happen if several people received revelation at the same time for the whole Church? (If they disagreed, members of the Church would not know whom to follow.) Who is the only person who receives revelation for the whole Church today? (The living prophet.) What should we do if someone other than the prophet says he or she has received revelation that Church members should follow? (D&C 43:5–6.) (Source link above)

"But what does the Mormon Church itself say about the number of Lds "prophets" who at any given time have the authority to give revelations for the church?"
This is worthy of some kind of epic straw man award. Notice I didn't say anything about "revelations for the church". Colofornian inserts that herself then compares that with what I said above. It's comparing apples and bowling balls.
The Prophet of the Church or President of Church is authorized to received revelation for the whole Church. The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are authorized as prophets, meaning they can prophesy as the Lord wants them too. But it will not be revelation that pertains to the Church as a whole. They are prophets, seers, and revelators as the Lord requires of them.
