The question about the chose of POTCAR

Dear all
The official website (wiki/index.php/Available_PAW_potentials) has such a narrative about whether p states should be regarded as valence electrons in the selection of d-element. Based on experience, how can the eigenenergy of the p state be obtained?

Well, you do the calculation for a similar environment including the p states and obtain the eigenstates from the VASP output. Similar environment in this case means that you should have a similar oxidation state.
