Template:Asteroid table sorting

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

This template simplifies the inclusion of asteroids and minor planets in sortable tables. The template adds a sort key, and displays the asteroid name and/or number in a specified format.

Usage

• {{ats|[Minor Planet Number]|[Name]|[Format (optional)]}}
• {{ats/p|[Minor Planet Number]|[Year]|Letter designation|Subscript (if applicable)|[Format (optional)]}}

Four formats are supported:

1. (number) name - {{ats|2110|Moore-Sitterly|1}} produces (2110) Moore-Sitterly (default)
2. number name- {{ats|4765|Wasserburg|2}} produces 4765 Wasserburg
3. name - {{ats|10484|Hecht|3}} produces Hecht
4. number - {{ats|15107|Toepperwein|4}} produces 15107

For minor planets with provisional designations, use:

1. {{ats/p|35144|1992|YE|1|1}} produces (35144) 1992 YE₁
2. {{ats/p|35144|1992|YE|1|5}} produces (35144) 1992 YE1

Formats 5, 6 and 7 produce the same output as 1, 2 and 3, but without the subscript

If the asteroid's designation does not include a subscript, leave that field blank:

1. {{ats/p|163249|2002|GT||1}} produces (163249) 2002 GT
