== A few tips == | |||
Hi, nice article on [[Alpheratz]]. A few tips: i) Don't add workgrounp, etc categories manually - they are added automatically based on data in the [[CZ:Metadata{metadata]]. ii) You couldn't have known this, but we are in the process of renaming many of the constellation articles for disambiguation purposes. If you look at [[Constellations]], in the source of the table, you'll see the new (permanent) names. While [[Andromeda]] etc do work at the moment (via redirects), they may not continue to do so as we get disambiguation here on CZ sorted out. Thanks! [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J.
