Interesting navigator! I hope we will have an article on TNO binaries (moons) in the future. You could consider adding a link to irregular satellite as it handles an interesting class of beasts. BTW, I’m not partial to the outer sats; small inner moons deserve also and article (and a link here). Eurocommuter 15:41, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
My impression was that the use of "Luna" was frowned upon in favor of "(The) Moon" in wiki articles. "Moon" appears in most Solar system templates that I've seen. RandomCritic 04:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Just trying to see how this would look with extra satellites added:
Planetary Satellite Systems: Martian • Jovian • Saturnian • Uranian • Neptunian |
Other Satellites: Plutonian • Eridian • Asteroid Satellites |
Largest Satellites: Ganymede • Titan • Callisto • Io • Luna (The Moon) • Europa • Triton Titania • Rhea • Oberon • Iapetus • Charon • Umbriel • Ariel • Dione • Tethys |

I'm thinking that this template needs an overhaul. While Earth's moon is listed under the "largest" section, it does not appear on the top line with the other planets. This is confusing for the average reader, and we should not presume that everyone who reads the template will already understand that "planetary systems" refers to planets with more than one moon. It's similar to the discussion about the Solar System graphic, and whether or not to include moons for Mars and Eris. I've acknowledged RandomCritic's concerns about duplication in my edit summary, but I have restored the Moon in the interim while we discuss possible changes. I've taken these steps to avoid maintaining the template in a potentially confusing state. Thoughts? --Ckatzchatspy 17:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Obvious objections: It suggests that Earth's Moon isn't one of the "largest satellites"; it might be confusing to some people as to what "Martian" etc. means in this context.RandomCritic 18:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Why not autocollapse? That is the standard for navboxes across WP. For example, {{Navbox generic}} is autocollapse by default. It keeps pages much neater. hike395 14:59, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Seems "alphabetizing" the listed names in the template (see below) may be better: easier to locate names of interest and more useful to most readers - a "logical" listing may be more difficult for most readers to navigate I would think - especially those not familiar with the particulars (ie, sizes, distances, etc) of listed items - after all => Readability of Wikipedia Articles (BEST? => Score of 60/"9th grade/14yo" level) - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 13:19, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

For TNOs, I added named bodies as well as unnamed bodies in the same size range. Lots more smaller ones, of course, but these should have the highest traffic. — kwami (talk) 21:39, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
