About[edit]

This list started as a whittled down form of Category:Numbered asteroids, after I added that category to all pages that required it, drawn from recursing Category:Minor planets 5 levels. Numbered asteroids > 10 000 were checked by me, and are mostly excluded (what makes this the shortlist). What I was unsure of is below, since they deviated ever so slightly from the typical bot-created/assisted articles. At creation, I have not looked at these asteroids < 10 000 closely. Since there are many more < 10 000 than > 10 000, please help!

I will probably add to this list as I go through the preliminary-designation asteroids.

I'm posting it here instead of WT:AST since it's similar in size and intent to the CarloscomB cleanup, which took a little more than 1.5 years to complete.

List filters[edit]

List filters were made based on prior consensus-approved criteria from the 1st round of minor planet #redirects.

This list excludes the following:

  1. Articles > 2000 bytes with little or no {{Infobox planet}} parameters
    1. a. Articles > 2500–3000 bytes with many {{Infobox planet}} parameters,
      especially those edited by my JPL-to-Infobox-planet code
      (max edit size: 1258 b,[1][2][3] min: -74 b, average: 467 b, stdev: 180 b, n: 2279 pages)
      (2500 byte limit ≈ 2467 b = 2000 + <average> + <zero stdevs> = 2000 + 467 b)
      (3000 byte limit ≈ 3007 b = 2000 + <average> + <three stdevs> = 2000 + 467 + 3×180 b)
  2. Numbered asteroids <= 2000
  3. Binary/trinary/triple asteroids
  4. Potentially hazardous/dangerous asteroids/minor planets
    4a. As of 2016/1/10, no entries below belong to JPL's list of PHAs
  5. Anything with "orbital resonance", "#:# resonance", "same orbital period as"
  6. If anyone suggests further filters, I'll apply them, if they're agreed on (please use the talk page)

The complete regex search pattern I used to apply rules #3, 4, & 5 was:
(binary|trinary|triple)[\s‐–—-]+(asteroid|minor planet)|potentially[\s‐–—-]+(hazardous|dangerous)|(\d[\s\:\\\/‐–—-]+\d|orbital)[\s‐–—-]+resonance|same orbital[\s‐–—-]+period as

List guidelines[edit]

Please determine whether or not each asteroid meets Wikipedia:Notability (astronomical objects) (WP:NASTRO), then:

Use {{Done|Redirected}} for:  Redirected does not meet WP:NASTRO ~~~~
Use {{Partly done|Unsure}} for:  Unsure contains journal refs but doesn't include any notable text ~~~~
Use {{Not done|Not redirected}} for:  Not redirected improved notability from available refs ~~~~
Use {{Not done|Not redirected}} for:  Not redirected meets WP:NASTRO ~~~~
Use {{Fixed|Overall revision}} for:  Overall revision article has been revised and expanded with non-trivial info.~~~~

  • If a list entry has changed and doesn't have a comment next to it, and 1 or more of the filters above now don't apply, then it should be removed from the list.
  • All " Redirected" entries that've been on here for more than a month should be moved to User:Tom.Reding/Shortlist of minor planet redirects, since they're now #redirects instead of #redirect candidates.

Redirect process[edit]

Redirect template[edit]

Please use this template (also on WP:NASTRO) as a guide when making redirects.
Text that should absolutely be checked and changed is highlighted below.
Keep your article's categories and {{DEFAULTSORT}} (these are for 57658 Nilrem only). 

#REDIRECT [[List of minor planets: 57001–58000#658]]

{{NASTRO comment}}

{{DEFAULTSORT:Nilrem}}
[[Category:Main-belt asteroids|057658]]
[[Category:Astronomical objects discovered in 2001|20011017]]
[[Category:Discoveries by Michel Ory]]
[[Category:Minor planet redirects|57658 Nilrem]]

WikiProject banners on redirect talk-pages[edit]

After you make a #redirect, go to the talk page (or create it), and make sure it has: 

{{WikiProject Astronomy|class=|importance=|object=yes}}
{{WikiProject Solar System|class=|importance=}}

{{WikiProject Astronomy}} has several aliases ({{Astronomy}}, {{WP Astronomy}}, {{WPAST}}, {{WPASTRO}}, {{WPASTRONOMY}}, {{WPAstro}}, {{WPAstronomy}}, {{WPTFConstel}}). {{WikiProject Solar System}} has 2 aliases ({{WPSS}}, {{WP Solar System}}).

|class= and |importance= should have null values for #Rs, unless importance > Low. These 2 parameters are automatically determined for #Rs so they can either be left null or not included at all. Either way, Category:Unassessed Solar System articles of Unknown-importance, Category:Unknown-importance Solar System articles, and the corresponding WP:AST tracking categories will be auto-populated if/when the #R becomes an article. Having the parameters null'd, however, is a courtesy to whoever decides to classify them in the future.

Double redirects & improperly named asteroids[edit]

Several redirects may exist for any minor planet redirect, from their older, provisional designation, from alternate spellings, from/to diacritical versions, etc. There is always a primary (preferred) #R, and any number of secondary (unpreferred) #Rs.

When the primary #R points to the List of minor planets, all secondary #Rs must point to List of minor planets as well, instead of pointing to the primary #R. These secondary #Rs need an additional template, {{R avoided double redirect}}, to inform the editor, and to keep track of them.

Example: The primary redirect 12817 Federica has a secondary redirect, 12817Federica. 12817Federica should be redirected like this (replace the highlighted text as needed): 

#REDIRECT [[List of minor planets: 12001–13000#817]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R avoided double redirect|12817 Federica}}
{{R from incorrect name|12817 Federica}}
}}

{{NASTRO comment|do-not-cat=yes}}

In the example above the 2nd template may change depending on the nature of the redirect. Cases are:

  • For incorrect names use template {{R from incorrect name|<correct name>}} (as shown above). Examples include 12817Federica, (9338)1991FL4 (both missing a white space), and 10803 Careyo (non-dicartical erratum in first publication, but later corrected to 10803 Caléyo). The wrong version is still displayed on JPL's SBDB). Unfortunately some of the non-white space versions can not be deleted and need to be redirected.
  • For alternative but correct names use template {{R from alternative name|<correct name>}}. For example, (52246) Donaldjohanson is the incorrect version of 52246 Donaldjohanson, due to its parentheses. The parenthetical version is legitimate, but not used on English-wiki.
  • For provisional names use template {{R from former name}}. This often goes along with {{R from move}} which is automatically added when the article was properly moved from its provisional designation. (The move-template, however, is missing when the article was created redundantly, or, when the provisional article has been created retroactively).
  • For non-diacritical names use template {{R to diacritics}}. This type of redirect should exist for each and every minor planet which contains diacritical marks in its name. JPL's SBDB, for example, exclusively displays this non-diacritical version, but the officially published name in the Minor planet circulars has in fact diacritics.
  • For alternative apostrophes and hyphens use template {{R from alternative spelling}}. Wikipedia uses straight apostrophes and often en-dashes instead of hyphens. Alternative #Rs with curly instead of straight apostrophes should use the alternative spelling template. The same goes for hyphens and en-dashes. Whenever wiki uses an en-dash instead of a hyphen (as used in the original MPC source), the alternative #R should contain the R from alternative spelling template.
Procedure
  1. Search for all variants of the improperly named asteroid.
  2. Perform a copy-move of all variants' missing information to the correctly named asteroid.
    1. Check the history of each to see if any of them have, or had, useful information.
    2. Merge any missing, useful information (such as categories or body text) onto the properly named article, temporarily un-redirecting it, if necessary.
    3. In the edit summary, put links to the pages that had the useful information.
      1. Re-redirect the properly named page, if it still fails WP:NASTRO.
  3. Strip all categories and DEFAULTSORT from the illegitimate asteroids, to avoid duplicate listings in those categories.
  4. The illegitimate asteroid pages should look like in the example above.

Preliminary and unnumbered[edit]

This list is thought to be complete, but please add any borderline-redirect minor planets I might have missed.

Caveats:

  1. These unnumbered asteroids ignore filter rule #2 (not applicable).
  2. If redirected, they should point to their corresponding list, such as List of Apollo asteroids, and not to List of minor planets: 1001–2000 nor List of minor planets: 2001–3000.

Numbered and unnamed[edit]

This list is thought to be complete, but please add any borderline-redirect minor planets I might have missed.

Separated from #Numbered and named because it's more work to merge the 2 lists, and the unnamed ones seem to be edited as a group, and often contain similar mistakes/nuances/etc.

Numbered and named[edit]

This list is thought to be complete, but please add any borderline-redirect minor planets I might have missed.

1–2000[edit]

Any MPs listed here are accidental (in general, those <= 2000 should only be redirected after consensus). Please help by improving these stubs.
