I've been doing some data collection off this wiki to try to straighten out duplicate world names, and I've noticed several things
- Most (if not all) of the world lists (i.e. Neworld Sector/world list) are probably out of date with T5-SS data changes
- My proposal is the world lists should be deleted; overwriting them could be done, but is most likely to result in some of them being overlooked.
- I am uncertain which of the 142 sectors listed in here have gone through the T5-SS scrub and are now "canon". Is there an accurate list available on the wiki?
- I know this should be available under Category:T5 Second Survey, but I am uncertain as to accuracy.
142 sectors leaves quite a few planets to scrub for duplicate names. The list so far includes Afawahisa though Fulani sectors and contains 15,635 distinct world entries (well there is some world data duplication; especially in the Vargr Extents).
- In trying to use the two letter code for sector differentiation (i.e. SM = Spinward Marches), I ran into several issues.
- Afawahisa and Aktifao are at the top of the list and would both be (Af 9999). So far I have not come across two worlds with the same name is similar hex locations - but that does not mean it could not happen once all of the worlds are in my spreadsheet.
- I have a list of sectors and the two letter codes that I am currently using, but i'm not sure where to post it on this wiki.
Thoughts and input are appreciated. Ssteve (talk)
