HiAstrofreak92! Regarding this revert,[1] I wonder if the custom still makes sense. When that habit was established, we did not list future spaceflights more than a few months in advance, so for example we would just today start listing a few flights for 2018. The current practice of tracking future spaceflights has expanded so much that we have a full launch manifest of 102 missions for 2018 already, and 15+ for 2019, which prompted me to fork the page2019 in spaceflight today. In that context, I think the hidden directive in this template does no longer make much sense, and I would recommend suppressing it. The template would link only to existing articles, the last of which is now 2019. What do you think? —JFG^talk14:56, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The last year in the list traditionally linked to "Deep Space Rendezvous" of the "Timeline of Spaceflight" page as a way of giving a timeline of far future events rather than linking to a section on the last existing year's page. I think that system bookended the list nicely, and I would support changing the redirect for 2020 in Spaceflight back there. If it's going to stay pointing at 2019 in spaceflight, then I suppose having the year visible is pointless.Astrofreak92 (talk)15:03, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Then I would suggest adding an explicit link called "Future deep space rendezvous" to the bottom of this template, and keep the calendar limit at the last existing spaceflight page, currently 2019. —JFG^talk15:14, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Zackmann08: You just tagged this template to suggest using{{navbox}} as a base. Could you explain what would be the benefits and drawbacks of such a change? —JFG^talk17:25, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JFG: I think the main thing is just uniformity. Slowly but surely all Navboxes, Sidebars and Infoboxes are being converted to using the respective templates. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing})19:38, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Zackmann08: Thanks for the conversion. I tweaked a couple things, looks pretty good. —JFG^talk10:10, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JFG: looks good! Thanks for the help. :-) --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing})17:42, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
