Hi,
Just in case it isn't supposed to be that way... ;-)
I like these little images of the planets' neigborhood, but it seems to me someone switched left and right.
And in the text you're showing the x-coordinate twice instead of x and y.
Greetings,
Claire
PS: I'm new here, if I picked the wrong forum, please feel free to move me/my post elsewhere...

Thanks for the heads up! I'll check on this problem tomorrow.
Welcome!

I would just like to point out that this is not the only error with the planetary listings. The Location of several of the planets are flat out wrong placing them in another factions domain. This is mostly found in the
Periphery, I have not confirmed inside the inner sphere but I am sure there are errors there if the
Periphery is also flawed.

Yeah, they have to be corrected by hand. So far, no one has wanted to be the one to do that. I've started with the 'A's, but still have 94 planets to go in that list alone and find my interest starting to wind down.
Would you be interested in fixing a specific set of them?

Well we have checked and found a few misplaced worlds, but it is not yet a proper project. The discussion is spread across several talk pages, most importantly my own.
Mind that the miniature maps were auto-generated when the wiki was started and are jpeg format, i.e. they do not change when planetary coords are corrected.
Might as well begin the list of wrong coordinates here (showing the correct coords):
X:-180.47 Y: 468.20 Götterdämmerung
X: 73.04 Y: -96.76 Hunan
X: -24.25 Y: 153.09 Sakhalin (Lyran world, not the CapCon world of the same name!)
X: 88.67 Y:-221.94 Scituate
X: 27.67 Y: 124.13 Yunnah
We only have actual X/Y coords for worlds in the old House Books afaik, so a lot of systems that were published/placed later will have coordinates that must be guessed from their map location. I strongly advocate marking guessed estimates as such, for example by adding "(est.)".
Also keep in mind that the IS Atlas is just a meta-source and contains errors. The original Sarna data was in fact taken from the IS Atlas, as were all errors contained within our data structure. Whenever you need to ascertain a system's coordinates, cite the original, canonical publication!
