This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories.

This container maintenance category contains all pages dedicated to a specific, single minor planet object. The subcategories group these objects into stand-alone articles (numbered/ unnumbered) and redirects (primary/non-primary). For more details, see the description given in the corresponding subcategories. For objects that received a name, see Category:Named minor planets. Also, for cometary objects, see sister category.
