Would it be necessary to include dex as an alternate unit for log g? This unit is sometimes used (e.g. Tannock et al 2103.01990) and it would be useful to have a conversion between dex and cgs. Nrco0e ( talk · contribs) 18:32, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

There's a problem with Exoplanet Encyclopedia reference. I guess they changed the structure of the website at some point. Unfortunately, they no longer have pages for the stars, but for the planets. For example, HR 8799d is http://exoplanet.eu/catalog/hr_8799_d/ (note also that they are still using http:// not https://). I'm not sure the best way to deal with this. I guess this reference should be removed from the star infobox and added to the planet ones instead. Although this is a bit awkward since the other references are all for star.

The template has a field called metal2_fe, equivalent to metal_fe but for the second component. This is inconsistent with the naming of the other fields, for example rotational_velocity2 or age_myr2. Some articles have used metal_fe2 and no entry appears in the infobox. Some articles may well still be doing this. A field called metal_fe2 should be added, with identical output to metal2_fe. I don't think it needs to be too clever about handling edge cases where both fields are used, but only one line should appear in the infobox even if both fields have values (or maybe two since a visible indication of a mistake will get fixed?). Lithopsian ( talk) 15:33, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
In the Gaia era, we are getting parallaxes sufficiently accurate that they stretch the number of significant figures used for the calculated distances in the starbox, or at least the margins of error on the distances. See TRAPPIST-1 for one case where the margin of error is barely 0.01 parsecs. There has been an attempt to hardcode the distances to values calculated from the parallax which I think was inspired by a desire to have three decimal places instead of two. Obviously this would only be applicable to the closest stars. Proxima Centauri may be the most extreme case, where the distance is currently showing as 1.30197 ± 0 pc, which isn't really giving the whole story. I'm not sure why it is getting rounded to straight zero, since I calculate the margin of error as 0.0001 pc and the margin of error on the light years is shown to four decimal places. Does it make sense to nudge the number of significant figures up by about one place in those cases where the parallax accuracy merits it? Lithopsian ( talk) 14:35, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Contrary to the documentation, omitting the visual magnitude in Template:starbox observe does not omit the row in the table, instead leaving a row with the parameter name. For Template:Starbox observe 2s, an example can be seen below for a binary star where the visual magnitude of one component has not been reported:

It seems like activity on #How to make the template not overlink has stagnated. The proposed stop-gap work-around at TRAPPIST-1 breaks popups.
I would propose taking a step back and looking at the wider design rather than just the over-linking. Currently there are a bunch of infobox rows that have nearly the same tag term and a parenthetical specific detail. I think it would be cleaner to follow the design of {{ Infobox settlement}} and have a single pseudo-header for the tag (with link) and then subsequent rows only need the specific detail. That means there is always exactly one link (with no pre-parsing/wrapper code) and it's also simpler to read and recognize the related set of data.

The exoplanet.eu site no longer supports direct links to star systems, and doesn't have unique pages for star systems. The only way to get this link working is to make a default archive.org link, but this is not recommended as the data will be outdated.
