Designations for WASP planets
The correct designations for these planet are WASP-1b, WASP-2b, ..., WASP-15b, with no spaces. This is what is used by the SuperWASP web site. The use by the Extrasolar Planets Enyclopaedia of a space is inconclusive since this source uniformly uses lower-case letters preceded by a space for planet designators even when, as in the case of PSR B1257+12, this is definitely wrong. (According to this discussion, this is due to a software limitation.) Remarks on individual planets follow.
 * WASP-1b. Discovery paper  does not use space; SIMBAD  does not use space.  Other papers (e.g., ) also generally use no space.
 * WASP-2b. Discovery paper  does not use space; SIMBAD  does not use space.  Other papers (e.g., ) also generally use no space.
 * WASP-3b. Discovery paper  does not use space; SIMBAD  does not use space.
 * WASP-4b. Discovery paper  does not use space; SIMBAD  does not use space.
 * WASP-5b. Discovery paper  does not use space; SIMBAD  does not use space.
 * WASP-7b. Discovery paper  does not use space.
 * WASP-10b. Discovery paper  does not use space; SIMBAD  does not use space.
 * WASP-14b. Discovery paper  does not use space; SIMBAD  does not use space.

Comparison point
Maybe it's just me but it seems like drawing comparisons to Mercury would also be a useful point of reference? Circéus (talk) 09:37, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Color accessibility
While the size comparison to Jupiter in the infobox is informative of the planet's size and approximate color, it is almost impossible to see WASP-12b in the diagram. I'd suggest adding a thin outline around the edge of the disk, either in white or the approximate blackbody color. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 23:42, 1 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Isn't the blackbody colour more accurate anyways? There's no way the thing appears black with a 3000+ K temperature. 192.12.181.234 (talk) 20:20, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
