Main planets, Belt planets, Moon planets etc
I think wikipedia should use adjectives to distinguish different types of planets:

Planet (massive enough to be round, not so massive as to have fusion)

Main planet (orbiting roughly in ecliptic plane, not part of a belt):
 * Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

Belt planet (orbiting within a belt):
 * Ceres, Pluto-Charon etc

Scattered planet (scattered):
 * Eris etc

Moon planet (orbiting another planet):
 * The Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan, Dione, Ariel, Umbriel, Triton etc

Floating planet (orbiting the galaxy itself rather than another object).

This is a lot simpler than IAU's recent technical definition. The word planet on its own would usually refer to a Main planet but this would depend on the context. Moon planets would still be referred to as moons most of the time.
