This is a category for all minor planets which have been named. Items are listed in alphabetical order of their name. Also, for a split up into stand-alone articles and redirects, see Category:Minor planet objects.
This category lists all objects by their name in alphabetical order. For a correct order, a
sortkey must be used, which is the name of the minor planet omitting all
diacritical marks, with hyphens, (straight) apostrophes and periods/full stops being the only punctuation marks allowed. (A special sortkey rule even omits an apostrophe, if a name begins with O'
, so for
21774 O'Brien, the sortkey is OBrien
). This sortkey is typically defined with the
magic word
{{DEFAULTSORT:}}
and placed directly above the listed categories on a page. Apart from inconsistencies, and in rare cases of absent defaultsorts or conflicts with other categories, the sortkey may be added directly to the category (using a |
character). For example,
Pluto uses [[Category:Named minor planets|Pluto]]
. Note that a sortkey only affects internal sorting; a category item still displays its page title.
