Lunarpedia talk:Autostub1 test 1
Erratum
- Category tag for 'Location' should have been 'Locations'
-- Strangelv 18:27, 4 November 2006 (PST)
Problems
- How to tie the satellite crater articles to the main crater articles when the USGS database doesn't link them?
- What is the area of each sector in km**2?
- How might the script determine if a given feature is in a given sector? If we treat each item as a perfect circle, how do we determine which sectors include portions of that circle?
- Can we automatically do maps for features near the poles?
-- Strangelv 18:13, 4 November 2006 (PST)
To Do
- Sector areas ---- I posted the solution to this Charles F. Radley 17:53, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Match sectors and features (not just centers) -- easy to solve, will do on a weekend or snow day Charles F. Radley 17:53, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Match satellite craters with their central craters - Where is the list of satellite craters? Charles F. Radley 17:53, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- I have the data downloaded, but I can't find the URL from the USGS page I got it from. -- Strangelv 18:38, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Border case handling for when feature center is on the boundary of two or four sectors - What do you want it to do in those cases ? Charles F. Radley 17:53, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Possibly list as included in all of the above? -- Strangelv 18:38, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Automatically load and parse tab delimited CSV --- Is this done now ? Charles F. Radley 17:53, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- No. You may notice the hard-coded data entry in the script. 8) I basically cranked out the essentials to produce the test page and then got sidetracked as well as stopped by a few technical issues listed on this page. -- Strangelv 18:38, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Automatically output articles in XML for bulk import
- Automatically generate map files for suitably large features
- Automatically generate sector articles and maps
-- Strangelv 18:13, 4 November 2006 (PST)
Bonus Points
Is there a public domain database of rille?- Are there other public domain databases of use that we might be able to merge into this to add details to sectors and features (such as surface samples)?
-- Strangelv 18:13, 4 November 2006 (PST)
The precise coordinates of the Apollo sites are available on the web link provided on that page. Charles F. Radley 17:50, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Just need to add those to the database if they're not already there. I believe several features named on the ground are already in there. -- Strangelv 18:38, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Is there a public domain database that represents non-circular features in a non-circular manner?
-- Strangelv 16:25, 27 December 2006 (PST)
How about approximating them to ellipses? Standard geometry equations. Charles F. Radley 17:49, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Sounds great if it can be found. I've only seen one database though, and it treats everything as circles whether perfectly appropriate or wildly inappropriate. Manually changing them ourselves at this stage isn't feasible given the sheer number of features in the database. -- Strangelv 18:38, 16 January 2007 (PST)

Source Code
Warning: this was getting mauled in a few places. I've tinkered with the formatting to make it work.
And yes, the code is really rough in a few places (like where reinventing the wheel is faster than remembering where the wheel is). The language is Python. 2.4 and later should work; earlier may require replacing my '//' division with integer coercion.
