Even if you assume that the upper mass for a red dwarf is half that of the Sun's, ignoring the fact that some put the upper mass for red dwarfs much lower at one quarter that of the Sun's, you're still excluding the orange dwarf stars with masses between a half and three quarters that of the Sun. These currently ignored stars are not red or yellow dwarf stars but still they are very much main sequence stars and so surely orange dwarfs are just as valid examples of dwarf stars as red and yellow dwarfs? These orange dwarf stars aren't oddities, by any stretch of the imagination. There are estimated to be as many stars in the K0-K5 spectral classification range as there are stars in the O, B, A, F and G spectral class classifications added together. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.175.6.205" title="Special:Contributions/86.175.6.205">86.175.6.205</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:86.175.6.205&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:86.175.6.205 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Star#c-86.175.6.205-2014-11-29T08:22:00.000Z-Suggested_revisions_of_"Dwarf"_listings_under_Luminosity_class" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:22, 29 November 2014 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-86.175.6.205-2014-11-29T08:22:00.000Z-Suggested_revisions_of_"Dwarf"_listings_under_Luminosity_class"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-11-29T08:22:00.000Z","author":"86.175.6.205","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-86.175.6.205-2014-11-29T08:22:00.000Z-Suggested_revisions_of_\"Dwarf\"_listings_under_Luminosity_class","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-86.175.6.205-2014-11-29T08:22:00.000Z-Suggested_revisions_of_"Dwarf"_listings_under_Luminosity_class"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-B(e)_star-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z","replies":["c-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z-B(e)_star"],"text":"B(e) star","linkableTitle":"B(e) star"}--><h2 id="B(e)_star" data-mw-thread-id="h-B(e)_star-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z"><span id="B.28e.29_star"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-B(e)_star-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z"></span><a href="/wiki/B(e)_star" title="B(e) star">B(e) star</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-B(e)_star-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Star&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: B(e) star"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-B(e)_star-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z","replies":["c-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z-B(e)_star"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z-B(e)_star","timestamp":"2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-B(e)_star-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z","replies":["c-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z-B(e)_star"],"text":"B(e) star","linkableTitle":"B(e) star"}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Lithopsian-2015-08-20T14:02:00.000Z-B(e)_star"></span>I've moved the article <a href="/wiki/Be_star" title="Be star">Be star</a> to <a href="/wiki/B(e)_star" title="B(e) star">B(e) star</a>.
