Hello world(s)!
This is a publicly visible wiki in which the Working Group Star Names (WGSN) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) collects and collates the data needed to name stars.
Modern star names are made for use in research papers; they are supposed to be a convention for global communcation which is undertaken in English. The names of the IAU-Star Name Catalogue will never replace the names of local traditions and cultural heritage.
