Task1: merge partial lists in "Meanings of minor planet names"

Example
Edit-comment
Description

The Meanings of minor planet names consists of partial lists with different number ranges, containing up to 500 and 1000 entries, respectively (see Meanings of minor planet names § Index). For the sake of consistency, I'm going to merge all 500s pages into 1000s pages. This will also result in a working page navigation for all partial lists. Existing links to 500s-pages will still work after the merger.

Task2: improve LCDB template for unnumbered bodies

The {{LCDB}} template's purpose is to generate an external link for a given minor planet (MP) to the Light Curve Data Base (LCDB). The template works similar to the {{MPC}} which generates an external link to MPC's object view page.

Current usage

Both links are identical. The 2nd link also passes the body's name, "Herschel" to the external object view, which otherwise just displays "(2000)" in its page title.

Until now, the template was only used for numbered MPs and not for unnumbered bodies such as 2004 XP14. According to the The Asteroid Lightcurve Data Exchange Format Standard (ALCDEF v 2.1.1) from September 2015, unnumbered bodies are specified to have a "zero" as object-number, and their provisional designation as object-name. Contrary to numbered MPs, the object-name is consequently not optional for prov. designated bodies.

So for:

The template however does not work when a keyboard-space is used instead of "+" or "%20" as a separator between the year and the alphanumeric code of the prov. designation. This separator cannot be omitted either, as this is not considered in the ALCDEF specification.

TODO

Amend the template to that it also accepts keyboard spaces as separator in given provisional designation (only), i.e.

RESULT

Although wikimedia has a magic keyword {{urlencode:<URL>}} which nicely converts non-ASCII characters into a percent-encoded string (urlencode), it is not useful for the LCDB website. The reason is that the magic word encodes UTF-8 characters, while target website (LCDB) expects to receive an ISO 8859-1 character set. For example, the letter Ö (as in 2099 Öpik) is converted into %C3%96 by the magic word which will be displayed as Ö at LCDB. To display the letter "Ö" properly the encoded version %D6 has to be used, which is the ISO 8859-1 (latin-1) representation, not the UTF-8 one.

  • Use this map-table to encoded non-ASCII (characters 128 to 256 in the the latin-1 set). Characters not contained in this set can not be displayed properly at LCDB
  • However the current sandbox-version in {{LCDB/sandbox}} uses the magic keyword {{urlencode:<URL>}} and spaces no longer need to be replaced with "+" or "%20" as in "van+den+Bos". As this is just a small improvement (and any manually added encoding of diacritics would be double-encoded), the magic-keyword remains unused in the live version of template {{LCDB}}.
  • Unfortunately there is no such thing as {{urlencode:Öpik|LATIN-1}}

Task3: add MPC-ref to List of unnumbered minor planets

The list of unnumbered MP needs sources. Create parser to add {{MPC}} next to each item, based on its provisional designation. Also:

  • Check and remove redlinks.
  • Check for any MPs that were numbered since added to list
  • Check whether the list is missing existing MP-object articles
  • Revise layout

Task4: create IAUC-template

In the series of external link templates such as {{MPC}} and {{LCDB}} used as non <ref> source, an {{IAUC}} to those publicly available International Astronomical Union Circulars is still missing. These include:

Example: The IAUC-template should link to:

where the URL can be derived from the

Authorization Required (http-access required)

However (currently) accessible from 4332 (newest) to No. 4100, protected from 4099 to 3000, avail from 2999 to 1.

Task5: revise List of named minor planets

This task has been further expanded, see § Task11: split-up List of minor planet names into partial lists Instead of incomplete and unmaintained "List of named minor planets":

Create instead:

Generate from MPC-list, using a link-color template with italics for redirects (or plain html-css styling).

  • ''{{Coloredlink|Gray|1042 Amazone}}''
  • ''[[1042 Amazone|<span style="color:Gray;text-decoration:inherit;-moz-text-decoration-color:Gray; text-decoration-color:Gray;">1042 Amazone</span>]]''

and add sections (A-Z; using spcl. TOC) or by number, i.e. 100,001–200,000 and 200,001–300,000

Example
Page-size calculation
  1. 20,000 named items (2k articles and 18k redirects)
  2. average item size in list: 20 chars (9 (name), 5 (number), 4 (link), 2 (list-bullet, space)
  3. additional #R markup: 121 chars
  4. List markup: 25 × 50 = 1250 (25 alphabetical sections, or c.a. equivalent for numeric list); + intro (2k) + footer (2k)

Total ≈ 623,000 bytes (400k chars for 20k list items; + 218k chars extra-markup for 18k #Rs + 5k list markup)

Task6: Astronomers by nationality

Add subcats of Category:Astronomers by nationality to LOMPD redirects of MP-discoverers.

Task7: new jpldata cite

Amend previously revised MP-object articles (list) with cites "Masiero-2011" and "Masiero-2014" at jpldata for diameter and albedo estimates (Exmpl). They were added in 2016, and may have replaced a previously displayed "SIMPS" reference. In many (or most) cases the given data is identical to "WISE" cite already present in the MP-object article, yet may differ due to rounding from 4 to 3-digits. In addition, revised infobox links, sorting of physical data in ascending order and removed moid/J-moid/tiss/ from core MBA articles, remove google book's Swedish TLD from external links (replace with .com).

Task8: add sections to Meanings of minor planets

  • add sections to meanings of minor planets
  • recreate header templates, +prep for options with "Back-to-top" links
  • fix redlinks on named MPs
  • remove NEWLINES inside cells
  • revise syntax of sources added as external links
  • clean-up syntax, add missing "Reference", remove astronomy-stub,
  • Amend {{MinorPlanetNameMeaningsTableHeader}}
    • Revise naming and add links
    • add back-to-top: {{#if:{{{top-link|}}}||{{right|[[#top|back to top]] [[File:WWC arrow up.png|link=#top]]}} {{clear|right}}}}

Task9: update partial lists in Meanings of minor planets

  • edit comment: T9 update list, (x) added, (y) renamed, (z) removed (link redirects here)
  • add missing minor planets (MPs) to list
  • add JPL-cite to added MP (if exists)
  • revise name of minor planets to correct spelling (diacritical names)
  • remove any non-MPC "fantasy" names from list
  • check numeric order of listed items. Move entry to correct position/section or remove entry if not in number range of list
  • clean-up: remove redundant wikitable row separator: |-
  • add row "There are no named minor planets in this number range" for empty tables /sections
  • remove piped links on minor planet designations (plain links only)
  • fill-in cites from "JPLdata" where table cell is empty or contains an asteriks (*)

Task10: template "Infobox planet" heading colors

Use colors in headings of {{Infobox planet}} to indicate the body's orbital class, which corresponds to the color used in {{Minor planet color code legend}}. (Also see List of minor planets § Main index). This requires the template and all MP-object articles to be amended as follows:

  • use template's param |minorplanet=. Change its generic "yes" param to orbital class abbreviation:
    • NEO
    • MC
    • MBA
    • JT
    • CEN
    • TNO

The parameter |background= is then obsolete, if not used to explicitly override the color based on its orbital class.

Example

Instead of:

{{Infobox planet
 | minorplanet     = yes

Use:

{{Infobox planet
 | minorplanet     = NEO

for near-Earth objects. Depending on the color, some links in the section header of {{Infobox planet}} should use {{Coloredlink}}, with a white color, to guarantee the link's readability.

Task11: split-up List of minor planet names into partial lists

As per WP:SPLIT, the following lists have been split-up into partial lists due to their excessive size.

Alphabetically

This section is linked to all edit-comments: split-up List of named minor planets (alphabetical) into partial lists (documented task11) (redirects here)

  • List of named minor planets (alphabetical)
  • alphabetical split-up into 26 partial lists (A–Z); one page per letter
  • using custom toc-navigation template {{TOC LONMP}} (LONMP stands for "List Of Named Minor Planets")
  • partial pages are cross-referenced, cited and contain a lead-sentence, with the total number of minor planets.
Numerically

This section is linked to all edit-comments: split-up List of named minor planets (numerical) into partial lists (documented task11) (redirects here)

Task11b: further split-up List of named minor planets (numerical)

Split List of named minor planets (numerical) into additional partial pages:

  • split range 10,000 to 19,999: into 10 pages with a numberrange of 1,000 each
  • split range 20,000 to 29,999: into 5 pages with a numberrange of 1,000 each, and one page 25,000 to 30,000
  • expand number range, by adding 2 new pages:
    • 500,000 to 599,999
    • 600,000 to 699,999
  • as a consequence redirect existing, but no longer needed pages:
    • (10,000–19,999) to 10,000–10,999
    • (20,000–29,999) to 20,000–20,999
    • (400,000–999,999) to (400,000–499,999)

By using all available slots of the |pre= and |custom= parameters, which allow for an additional 16 partial list to be added to {{TOC LONMP2}}, the custom {{Compact ToC}} template.

Task12: MoMP revision, add reference column

  • edit comment: add reference column (description (link redirects here)
Context
  • a "Reference-column" is added to the partial list in Meanings of minor planet names after it has been cleaned up, and each entry (row) is referenced with either a {{DoMPN}}, {{MPC}} or {{JPL}} template (in ascending preference order).
This revision includes
  • table header {{MinorPlanetNameMeaningsTableHeader}} template
    • a new parameter |refcol=yes, which adds a new column Ref · Catalog to the table
    • revising table header cells and linkage
  • adding a "back-to-top" link to each section
  • splitting the external link templates DMP, MPC and JPL (mentioned above) into new column
  • adds a X-reference to the corresponding entry in the partial List of minor planets, so that now toggling between the two list is possible
  • Revision of partial MoMP list also includes:
    • adding missing naming citations
    • revising links in naming citations
    • removal of custom references, that contain a dead link, are redundant, written in a foreign language
    • corrections of naming citations that identify the wrong person/place etc.
    • adding date of birth to people
    • removal of middle-names in link labels, especially for redlinks
    • removing reference-number to MPC circular (M.P.C.) as redundant with MPC's object view page
    • removing source tags (Hergert, Schmadel), which is included in links provided by {{DoMP}}

Task13: MoMP revision, syntax clean-up

  • edit comment: syntax clean-up (description (link redirects here)
This revision includes
  • Dash instead of hypens for DOB
  • Change "(b. 1988)" into "(born 1988)"
  • Remove from naming citation:
    • "Named for " / "Named after "
    • "Named in honor of "
    • "Named in memory of "
  • Remove double spaces
  • Fill-in missing cites (manually)
  • Revise linkage (i.e. multiple redlinks in a single citation)
  • edit comment: +PDO lightcurve plot (description (link redirects here)

The Minor Planet Observer and Palmer Divide Observatory (PDO) have published lightcurve plots of a large number of minor planets.

Other changes

  • Sort, amend or fix categories
  • remove parameters in {{JPL small body}} if obsolete
  • revise vertical spacing (new lines)
  • edit comment: +discoverer-link to non-linked family or friend honoree (description (link redirects here)

Minor planets named for family members or friends of the discoverer(s), should display the link of the discoverer, as the honoree remains unlinked in most cases (not notable person; redlink not appropriate). As of 2017, there is a link for each discoverer of minor planets on wikipedia (either an article or a redirect-to-list with basic infos).

Example
More information Named minor planet, Provisional ...
Named minor planet Provisional This minor planet was named for... Ref · Catalog

  • edit comment: -rmv redundant JPL-links (description (link redirects here)

For minor planet and cometary object articles use:

  • {{JPL small body}}, instead of
  • custom links that are (now) all part of the template's listed links

Example for comet 100P/Hartley

Searched articles by keyword
Additional amendments
  1. Check whether {{JPL small body}} main-link does not produce an error (i.e. ID is still required)
  2. Add {{Minor planets navigator| |number= |PageName={{mp|}} |}} if missing
  3. Rmv redlinks from {{Minor planets navigator}} if appropriate
  4. Remove external link to MPC's base file on all numbered minor planets (that is: a text file with a size of 50-megabytes) and replace it with [http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/NumberedMPs000001.html Discovery Circumstances: Numbered Minor Planets (1)-(5000)] – Minor Planet Center, adjusting range to number of article, correspondingly
  5. Add spaces to == External links == and * listitems
  6. Check categories (revise to standard sorting order; remove non-MPC-credited discoverers; add easy to spot "named for" categories, check sort keys)
  7. Unnumbered bodies: check if JPL-link is valid and add (if missing):
    1. <!--use upon numbering: {{Minor planets navigator| |number=? |PageName={{mp|(?) YEAR XY|z}} |}} -->
    2. {{DEFAULTSORT:YEAR XYz}}
    3. * {{JPL small body|id=}}

Task 17: re-add pronunciation to first sentence

Task 18: new LoMP-column Category

Adds family (119), group (3) and camp (2) info to minor-planet catalog entry.

Task 19: Add Ref-col to list of Martian craters

Adds a reference column to the List of craters on Mars, using newly created {{WGPSN}}. Also add anchor-ID to each list entry for later referencing non-existent Martian crater articles by #REDIRECT.

Note:: a latinized, non-diacritical version of the entry's name is used for all anchors (IDs). Changes to a diacritical version will have to be reverted, in order not to break the target of any #REDIRECT that points to such entry.

  • rename/move to consistent (Martian crater), rather than sometimes "(crater)" irrespective of whether or not other craters with the same name exist
  • create/amend generic "(crater)" redirect to (Martian crater) or to a DAB page, using {{R from less specific name}} and {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}, respectively
  • create talk page for every (Martian crater) with {{WikiProject Mars|class=|importance=}}

Task 24: boldface linked articles in LoMP

Numbered minor-planet articles are linked from the partial lists of minor planets (LOMP). They are now displayed in boldface to emphasize the existence of a dedicated article. While this is hardly helpful for the first few partial lists (as all/most of these minor planets have an article), it is, however, an improvement for the remaining 500+ lists. In these lists, linked articles are sparse and not easily discernible from unlinked entries as they are often displayed by a single number (piped link if the body is unnamed) and/or on a non-white background. For example, in List of minor planets: 50001–51000, the only linked entry is {{mpf|(50719) 2000 EG|140}}, displayed as 50719.

Task 27: LoMP-column Category: add families from AstDys

Add MBA-family classification from AstDys-2 to column "Category" in partial LoMP lists (for numbers 393348 to 494645). Also update PHA/NEO/JT/TNO information based on most recent lists.

  • Detailed description: The Family classification at AstDys-2 (see "PUBLISHED PAPERS" for primary sources) has a total of 118 families. Half of these families (a total of 59 families) match the Nesvorny classification used for minor-planet numbers 1 to 393,347. Another 8 families were mapped (see hidden list below) to a corresponding family in the Nesvorny classification (e.g. Minerva to Gefion family; or Klumpkea to Tirela family). 27 families were not mapped to Nesvorny but are (TODO) listed in Asteroid family § Other families or dynamical groups. Note that 3 of these families (parent: 5 Astraea, 1101 Clematis, 5026 Martes) already existed as their categories were created by other users some time ago. Another 23 unmapped AstDys-familieshave no named parent body and therefor no family name. For the sake of simplicity, these are not listed at Asteroid family > Other families or dynamical groups. Instead, members of such a family directly link to their parent body (to its LoMP-entry; by means of a {{LoMP}} link).

Task 28: simplify infobox: figures in section physical characteristics

  • edit comment: simplify physical figures in infobox – T28 (link redirects here)
  • status: active

Simplification includes:

  • show single rotation period only (based on best-rated lightcurve at LCDB)
  • rmv LCDB diameter and albedo figures if in agreement or SIMPS is given
  • rmv abs. mag. from Pan-STARRS (Veres cite), if not used in taxonomic determination

Task 29: restructure minor-planet article category

Object articles of numbered minor planets

All articles about numbered minor planet (NMP) objects are currently listed in the stand-alone Category:Numbered minor planets that serves as a maintenance category. The category's legacy-name is misleading, since it does not include redirects of NMP (tens of thousands), but only articles (3,086 articles currently). A better name is "Minor planet object articles". It can be included in {{Minor planets navigator}}, which is present in the footer of all NMP-object articles. This template uses a |number= parameter which allows to a) sort NMP-object articles by a padded numeric sort key, and to exclude all articles that are not about a specific object (e.g. articles Minor planet, Asteroid etc.)

Category tree

For all minor planet and cometary objects (both children of Category:Astronomical objects), the category tree looks as follows:

Implementation

  1.   Create Category:Minor planet objects — parent category
  2.   Create Category:Minor planet object articles (numbered) — for numbered minor planet object articles only (NMPOA)
  3.   Amend {{Minor planets navigator}} with:
    1. {{#if:{{{number|}}}|[[Category:Minor planet object articles (numbered)|<zeros-padding-algorithms-here>{{{number}}}]]|no-param-case}}
  4.   Remove Category:Numbered minor planets from all 3,070 NMPOA using AWB
  5.   create Category:Minor planet object articles (unnumbered) — replaces articles in Category:Unnumbered minor planets
  6.   Category:Minor planet object redirects (numbered) replaces Category:Minor planet redirects in {{NASTRO comment}}
  7.  Done Purge Category:Minor planet redirects
  8.   implement Category:Minor planet object redirects (unnumbered) in {{NASTRO comment}} using |primary-unnumbered=
  9. Subtask > non-primary #Rs > revise named MPs with parenthesis from (1) until (431)
  10.   Add Category:Minor planet object redirects (non-primary) to {{Partial minor planet designation}} which is used on all redirect pages with minor planet names only (i.e. without catalog number).
  11.   For cometary redirects (primary and non-primary), change parameter |minor-planet=no to |type=comet in {{NASTRO comment}}
  12. Red XN Clean-ups, search for left overs with AWB.

Open to discussion

  1. Rename {{NASTRO comment}} to {{NASTRO redirect}}? or similar?
  2. Revise NASTRO template's structure and parameters (naming):
    1. |do-not-cat= yes describes what it does (shows msg that no category should be added), but does not say what it means (this designation is not suited for an article, as it is a non-primary designation, i e. from a former, alternative, misspelled, non-diacritical version)
    2. |r-templates= off describes what is does (do not show templates: list entry, embedded anchor, and unprintworthy), but |target-type= explains what it is for. Possible values:article, MoMP, LoMP (both anchored lists).
    3. |type=comet (when absent, default is for minor planets). A third type cold be |type=moon for minor-planet moons.
  • edit comment: make meaning-link more prominent – T30 (link redirects here)
  • status: implemented, January 2019

As of January 2019, and based on 3 years of observing and correcting numerous unfortunate edits, which tried to partially link an object's designation to the corresponding article of the subject the minor planet was named after, I came to the conclusion, that the "meanings"-link in the table's last column needs to be more prominent. It is now displayed as the "citation" (third column) in the table. Also, instead of the objects number, the actual name is displayed (as Tom once had suggested). The Ref-column's meanings-link is now replaced by a {{JPL}}-link. Further changes:

  • "C. J. van Houten, I. van Houten-Groeneveld, T. Gehrels" to PLS (not in example)
  • Combine {{JPL}} and {{MPC}} into new {{M+J}} (not in example)
  • Revise header template {{List of minor planets/header2}} to accommodate new column Citation which links to Meanings of minor planet names.
