Star systems[change source]
Hi there! My attention was recently brought to this revert you made to an addition of a navbox. While I wasn't quite sure about its relevance either, systems science does appear to apply to star systems, and as a result, it is linked in the navbox, both here and on enWP. In addition, the navbox is included on the enWP version of the article. What are your thoughts about adding the navbox back in? Griff (talk) 02:47, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll explain. The navbox, when open, is largely red-linked, which means it has not been adapted for our wiki. In many cases we do have topics covered but they are not covered in the same way as En wiki. We are not a direct copy of En wiki page for page. In order to have simple content, it is often necessary to have one article in place of two, or to have a simpler title and content. This mainly applies to the non-biog content where I do most editing. I'm not against En navboxes which suit our content, I'm just against navboxes whose complexity looks pretty scary, and undoes much of the psychology of our simple text.
- I also think (and have long protested, and long been ignored) over the excessive complexity of the infoboxes on the right side of pages. Many of them are almost insane in their complexity, and can't possibly be understood by a typical reader of Simple. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:27, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- So to be clear, is the issue with the navbox itself or the placement of the navbox on the article? I don't disagree with your points, just trying to work towards a solution. Griff (talk) 09:58, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- The box removed was "Systems science" which in any event is not appropriate for the page (IMO). En wiki Star system has a box "Stellar systems". I would not object to that, especially if it was set closed. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:08, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Systems science not good term for star systems. Not used traditionally in astronomy, and not indicated on the page itself. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:09, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm okay with that and the removal from the navbox. Thanks for explaining! Griff (talk) 03:33, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
