== Moons/Satellites == | |||
I think it would make more sense to merge the fields for "moons" and "satellites" into a single field. In common usage the term "satellite" refers to a moon, and listing artificial satellites in the infobox would often result in a massive list, at least with prominent worlds like Earth and Reach. --[[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> 02:19, 11 June 2012 (EDT) | |||

== Another proposal == | |||
Just an idea: maybe we can have separate fields for system, body it orbits (star in case of planet, planet in case of moon), and orbital position (for example: "Five" for Hestia V, "Seven" for Meridian). The latter would also be more useful when we know position but not system name, as is the case with Duraan. With how it is right now, it feels kind of weird that system and orbital position are sharing a field. Any thoughts? --[[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>'' 14:03, 1 May 2016 (EDT) | |||
:Also, I've been wondering whether it is even necessary to include the Tech Tier field in the infobox. The Tech Tiers seem to be based on species majority, rather than individual planets. We really only officially know the Tech Tier for a handful of worlds, as I'd expect there to be some difference between tech on Aleria compared to Earth, Mars, or Tribute. It's made even more confusing when we have contested worlds with Tier 2 Covenant species living with Tier 3 humans. --[[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>'' 00:52, 2 May 2016 (EDT) | |||
::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) | |||

::::::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) | |||

(''reset indent'') Let's see: remove tech tier, and have fields for system, orbiting body, and position.
