| Help keep this category in order, modify [[Category:Messier objects]] to add a sort key:
- Articles with the Messier number in the title
- use
[[Category:Messier objects|###]] , dropping the M prefix, and using only the number. The number should be padded up to 3 digits using zeroes.
- Articles without the Messier number in the title
- use
[[Category:Messier objects]] . A redirect containing the Messier number should also be added to the category, sorted as above.
