[edit] Gravity turn
I added a link to the article on Gravity turn, which I recently started, to this template. There are currently no articles that link to it and I couldn't seem to find text in other articles to add a link so I thought I would add one here. However I feel that if the community sees that the article exists they can work in some links to relevant topics. If there is a template where this topic might fit better feel free to relocate it. -AndrewBuck 20:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Parameters
It would be better if the parameters section were above the "other topics" section, since other topics seems like a catch-all that belongs at the end, and parameters sort of get lost down there. — Swpbtalk.edits 16:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- I moved the parameters section to the bottom of the template so its titlebar could sit in place of the 'below' bar and the template thereby resembles other Navbox templates more closely. I see your point, however. On the other hand, most of the "related topics" linked in the template don't seem as loosely related as they can in other templates. Than again, given this is a template for convenience more than comprehensiveness, providing links to the various orbital parameters might seem more along the lines of providing links to related topics... So, I'm undecided! Sardanaphalus (talk) 17:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Orbital parameters are pretty central to a discussion of what an orbit is, don't you think? — Swpbtalk.edits 18:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

- Agreed, but I'd understand if someone said they didn't think they were that high a priority for inclusion in a template; perhaps instead, for example, a link to a "List of orbital parameters" or something like that. How about placing the Orbital parameters section at the top of the template and moving the "List of orbits" link back below? Sardanaphalus (talk) 19:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
