This template (M+J) simply combines{{MPC}} (Minor Planet Center) and{{JPL}} (JPL Small-Body Database) into a single template, used 1000 times in each of the 500+ pages in the partiallist of minor planets, seeLoMP. The only, unnamed, required parameter is the object'sminor-planet designation orprovisional designation. The template can also be used for a large number ofcometary bodies. The two external links are separated by a boldmiddot,{{·}}.
