[edit] Image Caption issues

I've noticed that several galaxy articles using this template (Aquarius Dwarf, Black Eye Galaxy, Centaurus A Galaxy, etc.) will repeat the image caption text, and insert it in the first line of the article. I can't see any reason for this, can anyone fix it, or explain it? Brendanfox 09:56, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. --JamesHoadley 19:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blank radius in lys shows bad

If a value for radius_ly is omitted, the template shows {{{radius_ly}}} as the value. Can someone fix this please? WilliamKF 01:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apparent magnitude

In Talk:Andromeda_Galaxy#Apparent_magnitude the suggestion has been made "In general, it is much easier to find B magnitudes than it is to find V magnitudes, so B magnitudes are generally used in the infoboxes. However, the infoboxes are set up with "(V)" hardwired into them. It might be better just to set up the infoboxes so that the wave band may be specified in the inserted text rather than in the template". Any other views? I shall also post on Talk:Apparent magnitude. Thincat 10:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

This could allow for displaying B and V magnitudes (in two lines) in the infobox. For example, an entry could be written as "5.5 (B) [line break] 6.5 (V)". Dr. Submillimeter 10:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
