The keys of the ballparks
The park option takes a key of PARKS (PARK_IDS lists them all, in this order). See Ballparks.

About each park#
Each park has its name in English (and in Japanese for the parks of Japan), its team, its city, wikidata (the Wikidata item of the ground, such as Q49136 for Fenway Park, to join a park to other data; parkByWikidata finds a park by it), and the article and revision its figures were read from (parkSourceUrl). A past MLB park also has status: "past" and from and to, the first and last season an MLB club played there (the Polo Grounds, 1891 to 1963). PARKS has the park's last fence in points; where an article dates earlier fences they are in periods, each with its first and last season, and year (or parkPointsIn(park, year)) picks the one that stood that season: drawKyogijo({ sport: "mlb", park: "polo-grounds", year: 1915 }) draws the 277, 433 and 258 feet of 1911 to 1922, not the 279, 483 and 258 of the Polo Grounds' last years. A park an article gives no distances for is not in PARKS; they are listed in docs/references.md. The articles give distances and not directions, so the angle each figure is taken at is our reading of its label; see docs/references.md. Japanese parks are measured in metres and converted once. A fence is drawn with its wall's heights and its quirks (the Green Monster, Tal's Hill) only when walls and quirks ask for them: see Ballparks. Where an article gives them, a park also carries walls (how high the fence stands along stretches of it), quirks, labels (the words the article uses for the extra points its text gives), track_ft (the warning track's width), backstop_ft and dugouts, each read at the revision the park cites.
Each park also has its coordinates, lat and lon, which are Wikidata's (P625, CC0), and opened and closed, the years Wikidata gives for when it opened and closed (Wikidata gives none for ES CON Field's opening, so 2023 is read from its article). pnpm parks:coordinates fetches them, one request at a time, and pnpm parks:check compares them with Wikidata again. The atlas puts them on a map.
