After a protracted argument on the Dyson sphere talk page that seemed to be going nowhere, I decided to consolidate and restate the basic issues concerning this section in general, and one particular instance that has proven especially vexing, as I see them. I hope that members of this and other related WikiProjects might weigh in and give their opinions. P Aculeius (talk) 18:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Duplicated lists for Mars missions[edit]
There is this List of missions to Mars, and there are three lists that are mostly duplicates, List of Mars landers, List of Mars orbiters, and List of artificial objects on Mars. I think both can be safely redirected to the main list without any loss of content, with a little merge from the third article (section on garbage on Mars). What do you all think?

- Agreed: having all four lists is ridiculous Redacted II (talk) 21:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Euclid italics discussion: Talk:Euclid (spacecraft)#Italicizing Euclid[edit]
Should Euclid (spacecraft), as a space telescope, not be italicized (per James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope, etc.) and even the name changed to reflect its status as a space telescope. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Discord Link Inactive[edit]
The discord link on the main page is either expired or disabled. Is the discord still active? CarterFendley (talk) 20:23, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
PROD of VSS Imagine[edit]
Hi folks -- I just saved VSS Imagine from a PROD, but the article could certainly use a little love from anyone who can help out please? --Rlandmann (talk) 21:59, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Date format[edit]
The style guide states that "Since space is not within any Earth-bound time zone, and to avoid regional bias, the WP:WikiProject Spaceflight community has established a consensus (discussed here) to use UTC."
What it doesn't make explicitly clear, does that include using the DMY date format too?
It appears to me that most pages use the DMY date format, but the Apollo and SpaceX Starship pages appear to be notable exceptions. I attempted to change over the Starship pages, @Redacted II opposed to the changes (discussion here).
I was hoping to get some clarity on the matter from those involved in the earlier discussions (@N2e @ChiZeroOne @Craigboy @Secretlondon).
Thanks! RickyCourtney (talk) 19:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- For additional info, the changes were to the IFT-1, IFT-2, IFT-3, and IFT-4 articles.
- All the articles listed above did have the "Use MDY" template, while most other spaceflight articles have the "Use DMY" template (including SpaceX Starship and SpaceX Starship Flight Tests).
- (Additionally, the draft List of SpaceX Starship Launches uses DMY) Redacted II (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
