User:OrganoMetallurgy/sandbox/ideas for non-article content

Although some ideas are regarding article content.

Ideas for or regarding potential wikiprojects
What I want is a place to discuss stuff like compounds' crystal structures, magnetism, ferroelectricity, superconductivity, phases/phase transitions.

WikiProject Crystallography
Potential Goals
 * Adding crystallographic information to all articles regarding compounds, minerals, elements, etc.
 * Creating/Improving articles covering types of structures, like, NaCl, CsCl, perovskite, spinel, fluorite, rutile, etc.
 * Creating/Improving articles regarding crystallographic techniques.
 * Creating graphics/images demonstrating crystal structures.

ideas regarding the chembox template/subtemplates
What belongs where? When should a datum be added to an article's chembox, when should it be added to the data page, and what shouldn't be listed at all? When should a parameter be added to the chembox? Should it be added if it's relevant to only one compound that has an article?

in the properties section

 * add the parameter Surface tension

in the structure section

 * Make it so that when the parameters contradict each other and/or have values that aren't physically possible are flagged


 * Add a parameter for "Lattice system" and make it so that the lattice constant parameters that are equivalent (as specified by an = beween them in the table below) only require one of them to be filled in for the value to be displayed in all of them. That the 90° angles (plus the 120° one for the hexagonal lattice system) are automatically displayed/filled out when the lattice system parameter has been filled out.

! Lattice system ! Axial distances (edge lengths) ! Axial angles
 * Triclinic || a ≠ b ≠ c || α ≠ β ≠ γ ≠ 90°
 * Monoclinic || a = b ≠ c || α = γ = 90°, β ≠ 90°
 * Orthorhombic || a ≠ b ≠ c || α = β = γ = 90°
 * Tetragonal || a = b ≠ c || α = β = γ = 90°
 * Rhombohedral || a = b = c || α = β = γ ≠ 90°
 * Hexagonal || a = b ≠ c || α = β = 90°, γ = 120°
 * Cubic || a = b = c || α = β = γ = 90°
