What you describe as an ideal and fair situation was exactly what was NOT done. And exactly what I comment on.
Till yesterday, the information on landing and on the probe was entirely in the mission article. Even today, most of the information was still in the mission article, not on the landing one. To such a point there is currently no wikipedia reference on the net about the landing article. Wikipedia reference is on the mission article.
What you explain makes sense. It was not what was done.
There is no "mistake". The content is correct. There is only a light, very light, direction given to information and which information is displayed more proeminently.
Delirium a écrit:
Generally our articles on missions are on the missions themselves, their planning, accomplishments, and so on, with separate articles on the components describing the functioning of the components themselves. For example, the information on the first moon landing is on [[Apollo 11]], the name of the mission, while [[Apollo Lunar Module]], the craft that actually performed the landing, is an article on the craft itself (which of course does mention that it landed on the moon, but is not the primary article about the moon landing).
It seems to make sense, along similar lines, to have [[Cassini-Huygens]] be the article about the mission, which was planned and executed largely as a joint mission, and then separate articles about [[Cassini]] and [[Huygens]] describing the detailed information about the craft. After all, there was no "Huygens mission" or "Cassini mission", but a "Cassini-Huygens mission" that used both craft. Huygens and Cassini themselves are merely pieces of equipment.
