Infobox planet revision 2017. Started on 30 December 2016.

Relates to:

Proposed code amendments

avoid unit-conversion for AU (to Gigameter) and hours (to days). This clutters the infobox.
avoid |mean_radius=. Mean figures should always be diameter, not radius. Lable dimension is unhelpfully vague. (Mean) radius-diameter relation is uncontroversial. Converting diameters (from publications) into radius is problematic: e.g. 31 km → 15.5 km. It can add to false precision, by adding decimals. This does not occur when converting radii from literature to diameters. "Dimensions" such as 205×185×170 km, as in 6 Hebe, may as well be called "diameter" (as long as the label does not say "mean" I don't see a problem)
|MOID= Earth minimum intersection distance only used for NEOs
|jupiter_moid= to be defined, used for JTs. Using only when < 0.5 AU?
|tisserand= to be defined, used for JTs 1647 Menelaus. Using only when close to 3 or below?
do not use invisible unicode chars, keep  
do not use   between figures and refs (seems to be fixed); always used between text and refs
do not import figures for physical parameters using a "jpldata" cite. JPL frequently changes data (not always to the better). Use cite that refers to a bibcode. Make sure not to import already referenced figures due to different rounding or lack/presence of sigmas.
sort parameters, instead of adding them to the end of infobox. E.g. |mean_motion= after |mean_anomaly=. Seems to be impossible with AWB

This concern {{Infobox planet}} only for minor planets. (minor planet = yes)

Amending label: remove redundancy, abbreviate, avoid line-breaking labels (while maintaining links an tooltip info).
- example screenshot before and after
- Add link to label "Named for" (Named after). Link to MoMP#ID
Add new parameter number if number-parsing inside template is difficult/impossible. Unnumbered mp-articles have an empty parameter (or Zero according to ALCDEF-specification)

add note, with link to Screenshot of light-curve (Pravec, when published on web)
Spin axis (Poles):
- add figures (coordintes) to body
- add figures to new infobox param
- upload 3D-models, Wikimedia
- add external link to 3-D model website
evaluate options for NPARs (tumblers), what makes sense and can be done reasonably?
create external link template for standard ELs (LCDB, Discovery Circumstances, Google books, JPL (template itself)
revise and complete spectra-type categories (Tholen/SMASS)
re-group Hilda asteroids to own orbital group, using distinct color. Amend in accordance to LOMP
revise all articles after new List of observatory codes is implemented
revise TNO articles after new list of TNOs is implemented
