Naked Gun

Really minor point, but Naked Gun 2 1/2 does not show the RMS Titanic but the RMS Lusitania. The source is mistaken, but I cannot offer an alternative. (Removing the claim altogether would be an option.) Here are links to show that it is the Lusitania, though:

OTA abbreviation

OTA actually stands for Optical Tube Assembly, not Optical Telescope Assembly. The OTA is just one part of a telescope. See, for example, on these telescope manufacturer's sites; https://uk.telescope.com/Telescopes/Telescope-Optical-Tube-Assemblies/pc/1306/1323.uts https://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/skywatcher-optical-tube-assemblies.html https://optcorp.com/collections/optical-tube-assemblies-ota https://www.firstlightoptics.com/optical-tube-assemblies.html https://www.celestron.com/collections/optical-tubes Point of Presence talk 08:02, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

but in at least some NASA glossaries (eg 1992 HSP user guide), OTA stands for Optical Telescope Assembly. - Rod57 (talk) 01:45, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Changes to the instrument bar graphic timeline at Servicing missions and new instruments

Regarding the instrument bar graphic at Servicing missions and new instruments. It's very helpful, so helpful it would be nice to repeat it, or something similar, further up the article at List of Hubble instruments. :

since the graph is rendered each time the article is viewed, is it ok to copy the code and repeat the rendering ?
- or put in a template ? (would still render each time & place) - eg see {{Include timeline}}
~~how shift "WFPC" left to not overlap the next bar (centre in bar rather than start in centre)~~ - (done with align:left/anchor:from/shift)
- (try align:centre anchor:centre)
~~where is the syntax documented for this type of graphic (timeline) ?~~
- (Misplaced Pages:Timeline & examples from Category:Graphical_timelines)
- syntax, see Help:EasyTimeline syntax - noted as #comment in the timeline script
could we indicate other periods of degraded operation (eg gyros just prior to SM 3A),
~~can we note on STIS bar the period it is non-functional (2004-2009)~~ - (done)
- could maybe do similar with NICMOS & ACS (need a better way than just shorter bars - overlap ?)
~~can we add a title to the graphic - eg "Instruments installed in the radial and 4 axial bays"~~ (done with "textdata")
maybe add pointers below the time axis to show the SM1..4

What languages used to program the computers on-board
