do merger of partial lists (500s to 1000s)
(redirects here)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.
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.
http://www.minorplanet.info/PHP/GenerateALCDEFPage_Local.php?AstInfo=2000%7C
http://www.minorplanet.info/PHP/GenerateALCDEFPage_Local.php?AstInfo=2000%7CHerschel
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:
((mpl|2004 XP|14))
((LCDB|0|2004+XP14))
or ((LCDB|0|2004%20XP14))
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.
Amend the template to that it also accepts keyboard spaces as separator in given provisional designation (only), i.e.
((urlencode:<URL>))

LCDB | ![]() |
%C3%96pik (should be:) %D6pik |
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.
((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)).((urlencode:Öpik|LATIN-1))
The list of unnumbered MP needs sources. Create parser to add ((MPC))
next to each item, based on its provisional designation. Also:
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:

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).

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:
|minorplanet=
. Change its generic "yes" param to orbital class abbreviation:
The parameter |background=
is then obsolete, if not used to explicitly override the color based on its orbital class.
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.

(link redirects here)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.

restructure minor-planet object articles – T29
(link redirects here)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.)
((NASTRO comment))
. Container Category:Minor planet objects lists all object categories.((Comets))
. Category:Comets has been cleared of object articles as they are now grouped into a dedicated category. As a consequence, non-object articles in the parent Comet category are more comprehensible.For all minor planet and cometary objects (both children of Category:Astronomical objects), the category tree looks as follows:

(when absent, default is for minor planets). A third type cold be |type=moon
for minor-planet moons.make meaning-link more prominent – T30
(link redirects here)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:
((JPL))
and ((MPC))
into new ((M+J))
(not in example)((List of minor planets/header2))
to accommodate new column Citation which links to Meanings of minor planet names.Designation | Discovery | Properties | Ref | |||||

, used in the footer of the first 11 partial MoMP lists, is obsolete and can be replaced with the more common template ((MinorPlanetNameMeaningsFooter))
used in the remaining partial lists of this series. The obsolete tpl allowed for a more granular page-size (for all preceding, current and following referenced pages) in steps of 100. Since all partial list are now fixed to a range of 1000 numbers, this flexibility is no longer needed. This also means that the current code for ((MinorPlanetNameMeaningsFooter)) can be simplified by reducing the number of parameters from 4 to 1 only (see next § Task 35: reduce obsolete parameters in Template:MinorPlanetNameMeaningsFooter).

extend asteroid-family classification based on the AsteroidFamiliesPortal per T37
(link redirects here)Sourced from the AsteroidFamiliesPortal website maintained by the Department of Astronomy at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Belgrade. Extended number range of asteroids 494,657 to 503,842. The data set consists of 61 asteroid families (a subset of the 120+ most prominent/secured families listed by Nesvorny). The family nomenclature corresponds largely to Nesvorny (HCM V.3), with only two alternatively named (and therefore mapped) families:
+potential interlopers to asteroid-family classification T38
(link redirects here)In the partial lists of minor planets, this task adds an interloper-tag (for about 2,000 main-belt asteroids) next to an entry's family classification in column "class". The data for these potential interlopers is source from the AsteroidFamiliesPortal (AFP) and based on An automatic approach to exclude interlopers from asteroid families by Viktor Radovic et. al (2017). Since the family-identification in the list of minor planets is based on the HCM analysis by Nesvorny (HCM V.3) and the AstDyS-2 data sets, the list of minor planets only displays potential interlopers if/when the data from the AFP matches the family determined by Nesvorny/AstDys. The interloper tag is an icon () that links to the corresponding sectional-listing in Interloper (asteroid) (→TODO).
