Category talk:Spectral Types

Hi all.

We provide the complete spectral type ( for instance B8). Should'n we create the appropriate subcategories for each sub type rather than having only a B type category? Eric 11:38, 11 January 2007 (CLST)


 * Hi Eric. We could of course, but with "only" 200 stars observed, it hasn't pop up very much relevant for the moment. And for binaries, we do what? We provide category for all of them? I.e. for a B8+F2, Categories B, F, B8 and F2?... Maybe. :-) -- 11:45, 11 January 2007 (CLST)
 * One more thing: I'm not sure, but the latest MediaWiki handles categories and subcategories differently. As for now, if you put Category:B8 and B8 is a subcategory of Category:B, the star won't appear in the Category:B, as it should. Wait for the upgrade and we'll take a decision. -- 11:47, 11 January 2007 (CLST)
 * I agree that it is not evident to find if we put B, B8, F and F2 or not. Let's wait for the upgrade ( that's why I've erased the content of the sub B8 cat I've created.) Eric 12:14, 11 January 2007 (CLST)
 * I agree with Cedric. It's not useful to have subcategories for subtypes. Binaries is a another problem though... we could make sub-pages for SB's, but I don't think we have enough material now to start experimenting with that. Not sure it would be useful - only confusing. -- Tdall 18:00, 11 January 2007 (CLST)
