The template '''minor planet link''' obeys exactly the same syntax but outputs a wikilink to an article at the appropriate namespace. Use of these templates avoids [[Unicode]] complexities in article titles while still rendering subscripts. |

The template minor planet easily formats the nomenclature of those minor planets that are known in whole or in part by their provisional designation. The template minor planet link obeys exactly the same syntax but outputs a wikilink to an article at the appropriate namespace. Use of these templates avoids Unicode complexities in article titles while still rendering subscripts.
The templates have been designed to allow the designations to be entered with a minimum of modification needed; pipe | characters replace transitions to and from subscript, as well as slashes / and parentheses ( ).

To create a wikilink in the same way, use Template:minor planet link. It obeys exactly the same input syntax as described above, but instead outputs wikilinks to the appropriate namespace.
For example, to create a wikilink to 2009 YE7, use:
{{minor planet link|2009 YE|7}}
Or, to create a wikilink to (15760) 1992 QB1, use:
{{minor planet link|15760|1992 QB|1}}
Note, as with Template:minor planet, that a similar output as the above can also be obtained by placing both the catalogue number (in parentheses) and the provisional designation in a single field. To use the above example again, (15760) 1992 QB1 can also be created by using:
{{minor planet link|(15760) 1992 QB|1}}
Finally, to create a wikilink to S/2000 (1998 WW31) 1, use:
{{minor planet link|S|2000|1998 WW|31|1}}
Sometimes, you may wish to create a wikilink to a minor planet with a permanent catalogue number while abridging the catalogue number from in-line display. For this purpose use Template:minor planet link abridged
{{minor planet link abridged|<catalogue number>|<provisional designation's leading numbers and letters>|<subscript number, if applicable>}}
To create a wikilink to (15760) 1992 QB1 without showing the "(15760)" part (like so: 1992 QB1), use:
{{minor planet link abridged|15760|1992 QB|1}}
To create a wikilink to a minor planet's moon (where the minor planet is known by a provisional designation), use the following pseudocode:
{{minor planet moon link|<leading numbers and letters>|<subscript number>|<trailing letters and numbers>}}
For example, to create S/2000 (1998 WW31) 1, use:
{{minor planet moon link|S/2000 (1998 WW|31|) 1}}
To format the name of a minor planet's moon (where the minor planet is known by a provisional designation), use the following pseudocode:
{{minor planet moon link abridged|<leading numbers and letters>|<subscript number>|<trailing letters and numbers>}}
For example, to create S/2000 (1998 WW31) 1, use:
{{minor planet moon link abridged|S/2000 (1998 WW|31|) 1}}
