Template talk:Mars

message: 
I noticed that this template floats left. While it's a very small box, this doesn't look quite right when compared to the other, centered nav boxes in the Mars and related articles, such as Phobos (moon) and Deimos (moon). Can someone with the authority change it so that it centers? Nihiltres(t.c.s) 15:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done Actually, it wasn't a float to the left, it was vandalism in part of its CSS. I've reverted the vandalism. --ais523 15:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Each article that includes this footer causes the Special:Whatlinkshere to include a link to every other article. This makes the Whatlinkshere a lot more difficult to use. For example Hellas Planitia now has some 120 linkins, whereas before the Footer I doubt there were 20. Don't get me wrong, I like the navigation box, but it now spams the linkin list. -Wikianon 19:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Noticed that Mars Exploration Links are broken or missing from this Mars Footer. The "Exploration" Link is broken in the title and non-existent in the body. Tried to fix myself but apparently still couldn't get the syntax correct so i changed nothing. Thanks.

replies: text: I'm not sure which links you say are broken.  The Exploration link worked when I tried it.  Also, did you want it repeated in the body of the template because other editors have resisted whenever I have put something as both a title and in the main space.

message: Why is Elysium planitia included among mountains ?  It's a plain region that includes several mountains, but it's not a moutain itself.  It should be among regions.  216.162.76.243 (talk) 17:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: @ - Thank you for your comment - yes, perhaps a "collapsible" section may be a solution (see Template talk:Comets for examples) - especially if others also view this as a problem (so far, no one else has afaik) - for now, should note that the following code may be useful => adjust the usual { {Mars}} code in a particular article page of concern to { {Mars|state=collapsed}} instead - a more global solution of a "collapsed" (rather than the current "autocollapse") template is also possible of course - in any case - hope this helps in some way - Thanks again for your comment - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 03:17, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: @ - Thanks for your comment - the template seems ok to me at the moment - however, collapsing or removing a section may be possible - especially, as before, if others are also in agreement - in any regards - Thanks for your comment - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 21:43, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Additional comments

message: We have a dedicated template for Mars exploration called , whose contents are mostly duplicated here. Additionally, a lot of articles include both navboxes, which is heavy and unnecessary. Therefore I would suggest removing most of the section on Mars exploration from the generic  template, which should focus on characteristics of the planet, not its robotic visitors. A few generic concepts about the exploration of Mars should be kept here, e.g. keeping the "Concepts" and "Advocacy" subsections of the "Exploration" section, and including a link to the List of Mars missions. — JFG talk 22:29, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

message: I have been looking at this navbox and the  navbox, and have not been able to work out why some links are listed on one, others listed on the others, and some listed on both. Is there a defined scope, and if so, what is it? Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 14:59, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
