[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T175578: Wikidata Query Service function geof:distance is not working outside Earth

the actual calculation is just “Earth distance × (globe radius / Earth radius)”, right?

Yes, that appears to be the case, but we'd have to store the radius data for all globes. OTOH, we already have them in the database, so we could probably just look them up via properties... With some caching it might work.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T175578EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: SmalyshevCc: Smalyshev, thiemowmde, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Jonas, VIGNERON, Aklapper, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, EBjune, merbst, Avner, debt, Gehel, FloNight, Xmlizer, Izno, jkroll, Wikidata-bugs, Jdouglas, aude, Tobias1984, Manybubbles, Mbch331___

If we assume spherical globes (which is already slightly inaccurate for Earth, but probably okay), the actual calculation is just “Earth distance × (globe radius / Earth radius)”, right? And I think a predefined set of globes is acceptable.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T175578EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDECc: Smalyshev, thiemowmde, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Jonas, VIGNERON, Aklapper, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, EBjune, merbst, Avner, debt, Gehel, FloNight, Xmlizer, Izno, jkroll, Wikidata-bugs, Jdouglas, aude, Tobias1984, Manybubbles, Mbch331___

So... The other way round now:


if it's only for Earth, should it *not* give results on other places ?
