Change of location edit

The article about Guillaume Le Gentil states that

The location of Le Gentil crater was changed in 1961, alongside two others out of the 614 craters named in 1935. The reason for changing its location (giving the name to another crater instead) is unknown.^[1]

Shouldn't that be mentioned in the article about the crater? I think it is fairly unusual. Renerpho (talk) 21:00, 23 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
