Template:DoMP

DMP

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Description

This template creates an external link for a given minor planet to a single Reference Work Entry of the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names published by Springer Science+Business Media. The external link's label is always DMP and cannot be changed. As of 2016, the website contains naming citations for several thousand named minor planets.

Usage

For most named minor planets, those numbered less than or equal to 9999, the external target URL is simply derived from the minor planet's number: the URL ends with a four digit number equal to <the minor planet's number> + 1. This calculation is performed by the template.

For minor planets numbered greater than or equal to 10,000, however, the target URL at Springer needs to be manually amended using a second parameter.

• The 1st parameter is for the number of the named minor planet.
• The 2nd parameter is only used when needing to override the default URL, in case the external URL does not correspond to a minor planet's number.

Example default

For 1759 Kienle, the target URL corresponds to the minor planet's number (i.e. 1759 + 1 = 1760):

• {{DoMP|1759}}
• produces: DMP
• link:https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-540-29925-7_1760

Example override

For 10502 Armaghobs, the target URL does not correspond to the minor planet's number:

• {{DoMP|10502|8003}}
• produces: DMP
• link: https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-540-29925-7_8003
• note: in this case, a missing 2nd parameter would produce DMP, a page not found error

Notes

• Alias {{DoMPN}}, for "Dictionary of Minor Planet Names", redirects to {{DoMP}}.
• For 1759 Kienle, DMP contains a naming citation not available at the corresponding JPL and MPC pages.
