Have the moons in columns

Whilst my change removing the 'official' name from Kerbol I accept as wrong, I really think the alternate style I had done was much better, where the Moons of Jool are in one column, rather then two. I know it takes up more space, but it is not that much. Thecoshman (talk) 08:06, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you, but others have asked me to keep it this way. Personally, I don't feel very strongly about it either way though.--Craigmt1 (talk) 21:44, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

I can accept going with the consensus, but, and don't take this the wrong way, who are these 'others'. Should not all discussion about wiki related issues be kept on the wiki it self? It provides a proper log detailing why things are done the way they are, which will help prevent new people from repeatedly changing something that has been decided to be done in a certain way.

I thing that at Russian wiki I'll keep this version of template: Template:Celestial Bodies/ru

This is big enough, but easy to understand. --Varden (talk) 00:07, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

You should try to avoid translation having differing formats, it will help provide a more professional look if all languages presented the information in a consistent way. Thecoshman (talk) 15:40, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

I want restart this disucsion about having the moons of Jool in a single column. I think it is a much better format for the data, [User:Craigmt1|Craigmt1]] and Varden have both said the agree, but apparently there are some mysterious 'others' who say other wise. Unless these people come forth and present a valid reason to keep the current format I will change to the single column approach soon. It provides a much clearer way of representing the star system at the very insignificant cost of a few extra lines of space. Thecoshman (talk) 07:43, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Why don't we just ask N3X15?--Craigmt1 (talk) 04:50, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

This is a community wiki, so the views of the community should be considered, it also helps save his time for more managing other things in the wiki Thecoshman (talk) 06:47, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

• Fair enough. I nominate that we keep it the way it is for now, and consider shifting to single columns when the game is updated and new bodies are added. Once we see a planet get an odd number of moons (like 3 or 5), then we should definitely think about moving to straight columns but right now there isn't enough stuff to justify it so it would look clunky. That was the conclusion that Trinexx and I came to when we set this template up and that is where I stand at the moment.--Craigmt1 (talk) 14:06, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
