Primes of the form \pm a^2\pm qb^2

Representations of primes by simple quadratic forms, such as $\pm a^2\pm qb^2$, is a subject that goes back to Fermat, Lagrange, Legendre, Euler, Gauss and many others. We are interested in a comprehensive list of such results, for $q\le 20$. Some of the results can be established with elementary methods and we put them at work on some instances. We are introducing new relationships between various representations.
