Template:List of minor planets/header2/doc

Description

This template creates a wikitable-header used in hundreds of partial minor planet lists, for example: List of minor planets: 1–1000. It also adds a back-to-top link to make the table of contents navigation bar more accessible. This table-header is sortable and used on each sequentially numbered group of 100 minor planets. The header-titles link to the corresponding sections on the main page, or to other articles, lists and categories as follows:

• Designation → List of minor planets § Designation
  • Permanent → Minor planet designation
  • Provisional → Provisional designation in astronomy
  • Citation → Meanings of minor planet names
• Discovery → List of minor planets § Discoverers
  • Date → Category:Astronomical objects by year of discovery
  • Site → List of observatory codes
  • Discoverer(s) → List of minor planet discoverers
• Properties → Standard asteroid physical characteristics
  • Category → List of minor planets § Orbital groups
  • Diam. → List of minor planets § Diameter
• Ref → none

Usage

• {{List of minor planets/header2}} substitutes any regular wikitable-header
• Since the first table-header on any partial list is already located on top of the page, use parameter |top-link=no to suppress the back-to-top link being displayed
