Either the docs ore the title is wrong. Not a native speaker so I don't know which is correct [[User:Evon R'al|Evon R'al]] ([[User talk:Evon R'al|talk]]) 16:37, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

: I have looked into this a bit further. It looks like both are valid. Google search for [https://www.google.com/search?q=nabula nabula] and [https://www.google.com/search?q=nebula nebula]. Although nebula seems to be the more common one. The Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula article] uses nebula and makes no mention of nabula at all.

I think ''nabula'' is, at minimum, non-standard, and might even just be a common error. The Oxford English Dictionary (which just tries to describe all known English words, not to prescribe which ones should be used) only has ''nabula'' as a rare, early Old English ancestor of present-day English ''navel''—not a word with any relation to ''nebula''. Wiktionary, which is usually pretty comprehensive, doesn't have ''nabula'' as a known variant of ''nebula''. So I think it should probably be ''nebula''. I hope that's helpful!

You are absolutely right :) Thank you so much capsuleers! I'll move and rename the Template as soon as possible.
