@Rfassbind: I sawthis and thought I could write a small helper template, like{{Meanings of minor planet names/Grey}}, that will check the page for a redirect and return the necessary table wikitext to grey it out, and otherwise return normal table wikitext. What do you think? ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 11:55, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

{{TOC001}} and{{Meanings of minor planet names}}, where automatic #R-detection and greying-out links could be applied as well, I think.Rfassbind– talk13:08, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]Hi, would it be possible to turn all thereferences on the subpages (the lists) to proper references with <ref></ref>. I find it confusing that these pages have a different system and use other symbols. Including other information about the url such as name and archive url also helps the verifiability long term.

I think having the partial lists classified as|class=list from inception is the best option (as opposed to|class=redirect or|class=<blank>), whether or not they are currently a redirect, or have already been turned into a proper list. 2 reasons for this:
|class=redirect or|class=<blank> places the page into 4 unassessed WikiProject categories (list, ast, astro, & ss) once the page becomes a proper list, which adds more work to be done after a page is converted from a redirect, and intoCategory:Pages using WikiProject banner shell without a project-independent quality rating if|class=redirect is usedOne of the goals, I think, is to minimize the steps necessary to bring a page out of dormancy as a redirect to a proper list, which|class=list does, with no real downside.Ping toPraemonitus who has done some recent rating here. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 14:30, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
Minimize the number of links. --

Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. --Otr500 (talk)
Some systematic sources of citations are:
In the first two cases you need only modify the last argument of the address to the name or number of the minor planet. The lists of discovery circumstances are split into groups of 5000 minor planets, each containing links for individual named minor planets that access the script displaying citations. --Otr500 (talk)10:41, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Last Wednesday (May 14) around 08:25 UTC, the Sun showed us an incredible X2.7-class solar flare, the most powerful one recorded this year. This event was captured, of course, by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, it erupted from the most active part of this star, called region 4087, located on the eastern edge of the .https://unionrayo.com/en/sun-biggest-solar-flare-2025-nasa/2600:387:15:551D:0:0:0:8 (talk)11:08, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
