Constellation names

Whoever set up this series of articles didn't think too much about the future, clearly. Didn't they wonder if other articles might want the names Indus, Crater, Perseus (and all the other Greek gods/godesses/etc), Lynx, Sculptor, etc, etc? )If I'm coming across as slighlty cranky, I am, because now we're in for a ton of work, moving them all to "{Foo} (constellation)", all of which could have been avoid with a little cogitation.

Some of the names also don't exactly follow the IAU names, given here. Boötes, Camelopardalis, Canis Major, Ursa Major were wrong (although the latter two had been partially fixed). J. Noel Chiappa 12:17, 19 May 2008 (CDT)

History

Seems to be incomplete:

• Ptolemy 48
• Beyer 13
• Hevelius 10
• Lacaille 14

Total 85. That leaves 3 unaccounted for, 2 of which are covered by the splitting of Argo into 3 (not mentioned). Peter Jackson 18:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Related Articles appearance of links

I am in the process of converting the r templates on Related Articles to the rpl template so that we can see the status of each article. However, I notice that status on four of the articles near the end if not showing up as it should. I suspect that something is wrong with the Metadata page for those articles, such as, maybe it isn't in the Template namespace. I'm not sure yet. Just mentioning here that I'm investiaging that. If anyone has ideas, I'd like to hear them. I haven't seen this behavior before now. Pat Palmer (talk) 06:54, 14 June 2022 (CDT)

Shoutbox

Shoud be good create a shoutbox with the constellations to put in each article that they appeared. L'Astorina 16:14, 25 November 2007 (CST)

I made a simple one. L'Astorina 16:39, 25 November 2007 (CST)

I just moved this to the bottom of the page, although it is an old comment, because it makes everything after it centered, which makes it difficult to read this page.Pat Palmer (talk) 06:56, 14 June 2022 (CDT)
