((JPL small body)) is an external link template that points to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Small-Body Database Browser at http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/. To cite the database, use instead ((cite sbdb)).
Usage
In ~90% of cases, it is not necessary to supply |name= and |id= parameters, since it defaults to the article name (i.e. ((PAGENAME))), which usually results in a correct external link, caveats below. Thus, when used in the External links section, the following is usually sufficient
==External links== * ((JPL small body))
However, the template has two optional parameters:
|name=by default, this equal to the pagename (((PAGENAME))). Use this parameter when the pagename does not match what should be displayed by the template.|id=used to override the default url to the database. Use this parameter when the default url does not result in a correct external link. Place the full SPK-ID found on the JPL database here. For example, 2867 Šteins has an SPK-ID of 2002867, so use|id=2002867.
Those will be relevant when diacritics, apostrophes, parentheses, or other special characters are used in the pagenames
- The article name contains diacritics (e.g. 2867 Šteins) - JPL Small Body Database does not support diacritics. In this case, use
((JPL small body|id=2002867)) - The article name contains apostrophes (e.g. 21774 O'Brien) - a bug in the MediaWiki urlencode function results in a malformed external link. In this case, use
((JPL small body|id=2021774)). - The article name is the asteroid's provisional name (e.g. (8619) 1981 EH1) - JPL Small Body Database search does not accept this. In this case, use
((JPL small body|id=2008619))).
