Template:DoMP
Description[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
- 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.
