editI altered the Events code so that we can create monthly pages which will appear automatically at the start of each month. I've put together tables for upcoming months, which I can put into the relevant pages, but I thought I'd check here first, see if anyone has any suggestions for improving them first, or if there's a better way of doing it than this.

If the events are not removed from the upcoming events list because the process is automated, then it really shouldn't be upcoming events. Phoenix2 19:26, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Very true - I've changed the heading there to 'Astronomical events in current month'. Worldtraveller 09:37, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Astronomical events in October
editHow does one edit the list of astronomical events in the current month? "Orionid" is misspelled "Orionide". I would also like to add mention of the Giacobinid (Draconid) meteor shower peaking on October 8, and the occulation of the Pleiades by the Moon on October 9/10. --Shawn81 05:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- I added an 'edit' help link to make this easier. Thanks for helping out! Awolf002 11:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent, thanks so much. I added the discussed events to the list. Thanks for letting me do the honors. :) --Shawn81 12:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for that Awolf. I remember it took me like 5 minutes to find the page for September events when I was trying to check it out. At least, now I have easy access. --Nishkid64 00:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

- Your welcome! I hope you will find even more possible improvments to this portal. It would be nice to get it featured at some point. Awolf002 01:22, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
