Talk:List of unnumbered trans-Neptunian objects

Explain this list?

It seems like it would be good to include a statement why these haven't been numbered, or whether some will eventually be numbered and how that happens. Tom Ruen (talk) 12:53, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Page size

This page is 636,764 bytes long, which is far too big. What's the best way to subdivide it? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:33, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

I'd say "By year" starting in 1999, with the earlier discoveries all on one page. Praemonitus (talk) 15:25, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

I agree, but put 1993 through 1999 on one page, then by year. StarryGrandma (talk) 15:35, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Why stop at 1999 and not 2000? The century ends at 2000, and this follows the format of other list articles such as List of minor planets: 1001–2000 & Meanings of minor planet names: 1001–2000.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  16:29, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I'm saying: for X='List of unnumbered trans-Neptunian objects discovered', 'X before 1999', X in 1999, X in 2000, X in 2001, ... Praemonitus (talk) 16:42, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Please quote the relevant passage from WP:PAGELENGTH to which you're referring.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  15:33, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

The technical issues and absolute limit are at WP:CHOKING. Though few use dial-up nowadays, mobile phone readers are in the majority. StarryGrandma (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm slightly in favor of splitting this list up, since 1) it will continue to grow, and 2) there is probably a simply way to separate. I'm strongly against splitting being done 'exclusively due to policy', since there are many lists > 200kB that are best left as-is.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  16:25, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Had anyone proposed "splitting exclusively due to policy", you may have had a point. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:30, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

• We did this with Lists of exoplanets and I think it worked out really well. I'd agree to go with "before 2000" and then a page for every year after that. I'm happy to do the legwork. And similar to the list of exoplanets, we could have a "full" page that would transclude the individual pages, for those who want to see the full list all at once.

A start

In light of the above, I have now split out List of unnumbered trans-Neptunian objects, 1993-2000. It's still on the heavy side, at 97,487 bytes, but much more manageable. Please review it, before we make the next split. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:09, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

That article seems fine. I have fixed the title. Should we move the rest now, disambiguated by year?  Nixinova  T  C  06:42, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Discover of T09 Subaru

This is not limited to 2017, but the TNOs discovered by T09 were identified by the COIAS project and are not associated with Tholen. These can be distinguished by the programme code for each discovery observation: Tholen is 1 and COIAS is 4.--しみんかがく (talk) 11:33, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
