Project: Planets is in the midst of a major overhaul to all the (approximately 2,900) planet articles. Each article is being 'upgraded' in a manner intended a) to present planets within the context of star systems, b) highlight the text information provided for each planet within the canon and c) ensure the factual nature of the information presented. This effort is anticipated to require a large number of dedicated and task-driven team members or a small number of team members working over years. While we intend to strike out with whom ever provides us with their time and initiative, we hope to enjoy the assistance of numbers.<br>

;Goals

** Provide owner (faction) occupancy through all known time periods
 +
** Provide distance to nearby planets, including those within two jumps (60 LY)
 +
** Provide details on component manufacturers (BattleMech, weapon, vehicle, etc) on the system, if any exist

 +
:: I re-generated all of the "nearby planets" images for the planets. Changes include:
 +
::: Changing the X values of nearby planets to be their correct values -- previously, the nearby planet's X values were reversed, so it was like looking into a mirror.
 +
::: Decreasing the font size and line-weight of nearby planets to make the image less crowded.
 +
::: Coloring planet names for factions in specific colors to show friendly/hostile neighbors.

== Guidelines ==
 +
* The original wiki text for all 3,000+ planetary systems was auto-generated from the [http://www.sarna.net/files/data/planets/iscs/ ISCS planetary data].  System locations, nearby planets, images of nearby planets, and manufacturing centers was auto-generated and imported by [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]].
  
−
<h2 style="font-style:italic; text-align: left">Active Overhaul Missions</h2>
+
==Open tasks==
 +
* Change text 'Nearby Planets' to 'Nearby Systems' to be more accurate. ([[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] plans to do this via automated scripts)
 +
* Set accurate Y value (was incorrectly set to X value) ([[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] plans to do this via automated scripts)
 +
* Fill in descriptive text for planets

* I working on a template centering on on the star system [[Template:InfoBoxStarSystem]], separating the data relavant to the star system itself vs individual planets themselves. I have started with [[Terra]] as that has three individual planets. Is there other specific data for the system itself that I have not included?  I am still working on the planet/human data itself[[User:Nathan Brazil|Nathan Brazil]] 15:19, 31 March 2009 (PDT)
