Uploads
upload JPL and MPC files plus names.inc' s to server

TODO: use general config to set all variables in one location, once
cls MPC500kReader adjust path "/data_mpc/NumberedMPs_sep4_2016.txt"
cls LOMPstatistics adjust path "jpl_data/ELEMENTS.NUMBR_23Aug", Template:Minor_planet_color_code_legend
cls JPLfile adjust path "jpl_data/ELEMENTS.NUMBR_23Aug" (colorizer LOMP)
cls MPCArchive add new M.P.C release date and NumberRange
LOMPD
run sanity and update on discoverers (astronomers + institution)
Handle removed discoverers : (or) OK, no dropout discoverers found
Add new discoverers (or) No new discoverers found in MPC-500k list
Update Discovery Count on astronomers/institution in lead of LOMP (1006)
Update LoNMP: Named Minor Planets lists
Update LOMP
New names
Revise discoverers
complete and create pages for newly numbered bodies
Update MoMP (only after JPL-feed is completed)
Practical steps [ edit ]
Update new names, from MPC-alphbetical list (diff to previous)
Create project page for batch of newly named
check newly released M.P.C errata section for changed names (move #R or article before #R of corrected version is created redundandly)
download MPC-numbered 500k file, (last number: 480806, 14 Nov 2016), move file and adjust code to new file
LOMPD: add new discoverers
LOMPD: update discovery count on astronomers/institutions
LOMPD: update lead: "...MPC credits a total of 480,806 numbered minor planets to 1,007 astronomers and 237 dedicated institutions, respectively. "
LOMPD: sanity check
LOMP: complete last existing page, add discoverer links
LOMP: create new pLOMP, add bodies, add discoverer links, create talk-page
#Rs MP-objects: create/move #Rs for newly named MPs. Create talk-page, create non-diacritical versions, adjust existing prov. #Rs to double redirects. Re-check erratas (see Tom's guideline ) . FIXES: sortkey in redirect generator (last cat), still displays prov. desig not non-diacritical article name (as long as JPL SBDB is not updated; tool does not need JPLdata for this).
update LoNMP: alphabetical and numerical version
download: JPL "Numbered Asteroids (51 MB)" at http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?sb_elem to location amend JPLfile
LOMP: colorize rows BG, for completed and new partial lists
