::The tech tier field isn't very necessary and could well be removed. I suppose we could add fields for orbital position and parent body, though the latter would be synonymous with the system's name in most cases. Maybe the parent body and orbital position could be incorporated into a single field? --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:49, 3 May 2016 (EDT)

:::Yeah, it's possible, though it would end up looking similar to what we have now. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 00:55, 3 May 2016 (EDT)
::::Mostly, though it would introduce the ability to separately identify the system and parent body. My main doubt regarding a separate "orbital position" field is that it may not always be clear whether it refers to the article subject's orbital position around its system primary star or possible parent planet, as with Meridian. That's why it may be more clear to list the orbital position in the "Parent body" field while keeping the "system" field separate. However, I can see your point about Duraan where the system nor the parent body have been given a name, though it's a very rare case. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 07:43, 3 May 2016 (EDT)
:::::Personally, I'd hope it would be clear enough, though I do see your point. A possible resolution for moons would be to list "Primary satellite" or "Seventh satellite/moon" instead of "One" or "Seven". --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 10:09, 3 May 2016 (EDT)
::::::Any other suggestions? If not, I can handle the necessary changes. I'd be easier to do it all at once. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 14:32, 11 May 2016 (EDT)
::::::Actually, thinking about it now, putting "Second planet" or "Seventh satellite" (for example) in the "Orbital position" field should be effective enough, rather than simply putting "One" or "First". --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 16:58, 17 May 2016 (EDT)
:::::::Agreed, that should be more informative than the current format. How many changes does that leave us with? --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 23:47, 17 May 2016 (EDT)
(''reset indent'') Let's see: remove tech tier, and have fields for system, orbiting body, and position.
