Spaceflight: Timeline of spaceflight Template‑class | ||||||||||

Hi Astrofreak92! Regarding this revert, [1] I wonder if the custom still makes sense. When that habit was established, we did not list future spaceflights more than a few months in advance, so for example we would just today start listing a few flights for 2018. The current practice of tracking future spaceflights has expanded so much that we have a full launch manifest of 102 missions for 2018 already, and 15+ for 2019, which prompted me to fork the page 2019 in spaceflight today. In that context, I think the hidden directive in this template does no longer make much sense, and I would recommend suppressing it. The template would link only to existing articles, the last of which is now 2019. What do you think? — JFG talk 14:56, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
@ Zackmann08: You just tagged this template to suggest using {{ navbox}} as a base. Could you explain what would be the benefits and drawbacks of such a change? — JFG talk 17:25, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
