User:Tomruen/polyhedron db testing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to my "Polyhedron database testing" page.
I've linked this to talk pages for polyhedra which I've replaced the stat tables.
Please use this "Talk" page for questions. (Or edit this page as well if you'd like to help with this project.)

[edit] History
- 1/20/06: User:Salix alba set up this database system. See User:Pfafrich/test
- 3/2/06: I began extending it. See: Template_talk:Polyhedra_DB
- 3/3/06: I split uniform database into 3 files: reg/semireg/uniform and accessed as infotable in all 75 uniform polyhedra models. (Also compared list of uniform polyhedra to database and made corrections (mostly in vert configurations)
- 12/29/06: Tom Ruen Updated significantly, added prisms, partial Catalans.
[edit] Active templates

[edit] Polyhedron database
Tasks completed
- 3/2/06: Added stat table to most nonconvex uniform polyhedron articles
- 3/3/06: Added platonic solid infobox, and added to articles
- NEW Template:Reg polyhedron stat table
- NEW Template:Reg nonconvex polyhedron stat table
- Extended database fields for new items (only for 9 regulars)
- Compare/correct database to current article list of uniform polyhedra
- NEW Template:Semireg polyhedron stat table
- Complete new db fields - dualname/schlafi/prop/image2
- Update articles
- 11/28/06 - Added -image3 field to 9 regular forms and 13 semiregular nonprismatic Archimedean solids and infobox links to rotating animated gifs.
- 12/27/06 - Added dual names to uniform database
- 12/29/06
- Prisms prism (geometry) and antiprism
- Catalan solids (partially done)
- 1/28/06
- Add convex uniform tiling database/templates,
Tasks ahead
- Add db uniform tilings
- Create new summary uniform polyhedron tables:
- list of uniform polyhedra and diversify into column sortable copies
- list of uniform polyhedra --> redirect to desired "default" below
- list of uniform polyhedra by u-index
- list of uniform polyhedra by w-index
- list of uniform polyhedra by wythoff
- etc.
- ALso replace: List of Wenninger polyhedron models
- list of uniform polyhedra and diversify into column sortable copies
FUTURE?!
- Do can we do last/next "fields" for sequencing in stat tables (like done with Johnsons now)
- Determine (generation time) efficiency of one or multiple database files
- Expand polyhedron stat table templates and replace for all uniform forms
- New database for face-uniform (duals)
- New database for Johnson solids
- ...
