Descriptionnotation that defines polytopes and tessellations
RepresentsConway polyhedron notation (Q3890115)
Data typeString
Template parameter"conway" in en:Template:Semireg_polyhedron_stat_table; "Conway" in zh:Template:Polyhedronbox
Domainpolytope (Q747980)
Allowed valuesregular expression (Q185612)

regular expression (Q185612) can be found in the source code of this webpage. According to English Wikipedia article en:Conway_polyhedron_notation#Seeds, the seed can be U for cupola (Q1792895); V for Anticupola; Q for square tiling (Q1128619); H for hexagonal tiling (Q3063631); Δ for triangular tiling (Q3063292); and J for Johnson solid (Q1059659).

Motivation

[edit]

Conway polyhedron notation (Q3890115) is a notation that used to describe polytopes and tessellations based on a seed polyhedron modified by various operations. (mathworld article) Just like Schläfli symbol (P3228) and Bowers acronym (P9997), This property is proposed to keep the Conway polyhedron notation (Q3890115) symbols of uniform polytope (Q3887718) and uniform tessellation (Q2907891) on Wikidata so the data could be managed easily. Some 3rd party polyhedron generator (e.g. antiprism.com, georgehart.com, andrewmarsh.com) can use Conway polyhedron notation (Q3890115) generate the corresponding 3D model immediately, to assist readers to better understand the polytope described in the Wikipedia article. -- [雪菲🐉蛋糕🎂] >[娜娜奇🐰鮮果茶☕](☎️·☘️16:55, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
