Category:Minor planet object redirects (non-primary)

This category contains all pages of non-primary minor-planet designations (see description of the term below). Items, all of them are redirects by definition, are sorted by pagename and are automatically added when the page contains or. For redirects on both numbered and unnumbered primary minor-planet designations, see parent category. Contrary to their primary counterparts, do not add any categories to non-primary minor-planet redirects manually, to avoid double classification (hence the NASTRO-parameter's name).

Due to the overwhelmingly large number of minor planet objects, all redirects are divided into two basic types: primary and non-primary minor-planet designations. A redirect of a primary designation is suited as article (if the object becomes notable). On the other hand, a redirect of a non-primary designation is basically never suited for an article: it either redirects to the (already existing) article about the object, or to another target (typically to an anchored list such as in LoMP or MoMP) with its primary redirect given in "" (best-practice only). Types of non-primary designations include, but are not limited to: These are often used in combination with:
 * Context
 * — the designation is superseded due to numbering or naming,
 * — incorrectly published designation, later corrected in the M.P.C. errata section,
 * — designation lacks diacritics, but official M.P.C. publication contains them,
 * — named minor planet using parenthesis (non-standard on English Wikipedia) or modifications on hyphenated names and survey designations, or
 * — named minor planet without catalog number (i.e. a "partial" designation).
 * — if the primary designation is also a redirect, and
 * — if the page was moved to a new primary designation (upon numbering, naming or correction).
