Usage

This template (mp for "minor planet") easily formats provisional designations of minor planets. It avoids Unicode complexities in article titles while still rendering subscripts.

Template:Mp

To quickly format a minor planet known by a provisional designation, insert the below string:

{{mp|leading numbers and letters|subscript number}}

For example, to create (15760) 1992 QB₁, insert

{{mp|(15760) 1992 QB|1}}

Or, to create 2004 MN₄, insert

{{mp|2004 MN|4}}

Template:Mpl & Template:Mpl-

To insert a link in the same way, use Template:mpl.

To insert a wikilink to (15760) 1992 QB₁ without showing the "(15760)" part (like so: 1992 QB₁), insert:

{{mpl-|15760|1992 QB|1}}

Template:Mpm

To insert a wikilink to a minor planet's moon (where the minor planet is known by a provisional designation), insert the below string:

{{mpm|leading numbers and letters|subscript number|trailing letters and numbers}}

For example, to create සැකිල්ල:Mpm, insert

{{mpm|S/2000 (1998 WW|31|) 1}}

Template:Mpm-

To insert the name of a minor planet's moon (where the minor planet is known by a provisional designation), insert the below string:

{{mpm-|leading numbers and letters|subscript number|trailing letters and numbers}}

For example, to create S/2000 (1998 WW₃₁) 1, insert

{{mpm-|S/2000 (1998 WW|31|) 1}}
