Right now this navbox seems to be an exhaustive list of solar eclipses and is getting rather big. Someone just added all the eclipses in a between 1979 and 2030 making the box gigantic and full of red. I deleted all the redlinks (because they are not helpful for navigation, which is what this box is for, right?) but that's not really the solution.

I think we need to figure out what the point of this box is, right now it's so full of links it's hard to parse. I think there are too many eclipses listed, exhaustive lists are available in the list articles, this navbox ought to have "Notable eclipses", don't you guys think? Likewise, I think there are too many centuries individually listed. Why not have a lists of solar eclipses by century and then have a link for, say 19th, 20th, 21st century eclipses?

I'm the someone who just filled the missing eclipses from 1979-2030. I agree it's not ideal on the long term, but I wanted clarity what eclipses were missing. I'm working on subgrouped solar eclipses in 3-4 year sequences within the saros cycles. For now it was the most convenient place to NAVIGATE what was missing. I'll restore it for now, please!

This enormity really needs to be split.

Since the Template already links to eclipses by century and Saros series, I removed all the links to individual eclipses, the template is a reasonable size now. --TimL (talk) 10:41, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-06-16T10:41:00.000Z","author":"Timl2k4","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Timl2k4-2011-06-16T10:41:00.000Z-Anime_Addict_AA-2011-06-15T19:25:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"TimL"}}-->
Wow, I think this removeal is a very bad idea. The template is closed by default, and seemed like a perfectly good way to access individual eclipse articles. Searching by saros series is useless, and the century tables are very large load/format very slowly.

This is/was a cache issue, which has now been sorted. When a template is date-based it requires a refresh occasionally to make sure the date last passed to the template matches the current date.
