Orphaned references in List of spaceflight launches in July-December 2022[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of spaceflight launches in July-December 2022's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:03, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Link to next year?[edit]

A link to a page showing launches in 2023 would be useful.

Maybe have the page showing the past, present, and future six months ?

Or the past N, present 1, and future N days/weeks/months/quarters/years ??

Depending on how much that can be automated. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 13:40, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The navigation template positioned at each month division in the list does exactly that:

← Jan
Feb
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Jul
Aug
Sep
Oct
Nov
Dec →

The forward and back arrows link to 2021 and 2023 in spaceflight respectively. Yiosie 2356 23:04, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, the template merely jumps to the indicated month in the Jul-Dec 2022 list, and the forward arrow jumps to a different style of list.

I don't know to what extent, if any, the composition of the HTML for this list is automated; but having a list centred in the present moment/day/week/month would be better. On July 1st 00:00, this list was a prediction of the future; now it is a history of the past, without any future. Of course, its title would have to be rather different. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 13:48, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
