Place this template in the footer of anynumbered minor planet article and don't forget to add parameter|number= to enable additional features(see example below). When used in articles other than numbered minor planets (such as inAsteroid orMinor planet), it is best to start the navigator from the start, that is:
| (55636) 2002 TX300 —the designation of the preceding minor planet
|number= 55637 —current article; number only
|PageName= {{mp|(55637) 2002 UX|25}} —current article; formatted version, numeric indices are then displayed in subscript
| (55638) 2002 VE95 —the designation of the succeeding minor planet
ThePageName parameter can be left empty for minor planets that are named or unnamed, but with no subscript number. In the resulting output, the article itself (central item) will link to thecorresponding entry in thelist of minor planets. The first and last item of the triplet will link directly to the article.
