{{high-use| 3103 }}

==Usage==
Place this template in the footer of any [[Minor-planet designation#Syntax|numbered minor planet]] article and don't forget to add parameter {{para|number}} to enable additional features ''(see example below)''. When used in articles other than numbered minor planets (such as in [[Asteroid]] or [[Minor planet]]), it is best to start the navigator from the start, that is:
* <code><nowiki>{{Minor planets navigator|PageName=[[Ceres (dwarf planet)|1 Ceres]]||2 Pallas|state=autocollapse}}</nowiki></code>

=== Arguments ===
* {{para|}} the first unnamed argument is for the designation of the ''preceding minor planet''
* {{para|number}} contains the object's number (current article). It will produce a link to the corresponding entry in the [[LOMP|catalog]] and [[:Category:Minor planet object articles (numbered)|categorize]] the article.
* {{para|PageName}} allows to format/override the displayed title (current article), analogous to DISPLAYTITLE.
* {{para|}} the second unnamed argument is for the designation of the ''subsequent minor planet''

=== Example ===
For article '''{{mpl|(55637) 2002 UX|25}}''', which has the catalog number '''55637''':
: {{pre|style=font-size: smaller; color:#333; width: 860px;|<nowiki>

{{Minor planets navigator |(55636) 2002 TX300 |number=55637| PageName={{mp|(55637) 2002 UX|25}} |(55638) 2002 VE95}}

|-------------------------|-------------------|------------|------------------------------------|----------------- -|
|                         | preceding article | article-num|     article-title formatted        |succeeding article |
|-------------------------|-------------------|------------|------------------------------------|----------------- -|
</nowiki>
}}
; This will produce: 
<!-- for this example, use mock-up of {{Minor planets navigator}}, to avoid documentation page being categorized -->
: {{Navbox
| name       = Minor planets navigator
| title      = [[LOMP|Minor planets navigator]]
| listclass  = hlist
| state      = expanded
| list1      = [[(55636) 2002 TX300]]{{·}}'''{{LoMP|55637|{{mp|(55637) 2002 UX|25}}}}'''{{·}}[[(55638) 2002 VE95]]
}}
<!-- end of example -->

The four parameters are set as follows:
* {{para|}} (55636) 2002 TX300 — ''the designation of the preceding minor planet''
* {{para|number}} 55637 — ''current article; number only''
* {{para|PageName}} <nowiki>{{mp|(55637) 2002 UX|25}}</nowiki> — ''current article; formatted version, numeric indices are then displayed in subscript''
* {{para|}} (55638) 2002 VE95 — ''the designation of the succeeding minor planet''
The ''PageName'' 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 the {{LoMP|55638|corresponding entry}} in the [[LoMP|list of minor planets]]. The first and last item of the triplet will link directly to the article.  

=== Category ===
