 | This guideline documents an English Wikipedia naming convention. Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply. Substantive edits to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on this guideline's talk page. |
 | This page in a nutshell: This guideline describes the article titles that should be used for astronomical objects, from small Solar System bodies to galaxy groups and clusters. |
This guideline reflects established consensus about the naming conventions for articles on astronomical objects. It is a subject-specific supplement to the general article titles policy, developed by Wikiproject Astronomy. General guidance is provided on how to determine the appropriate title, followed by specific practice for certain types of object.
A separate guideline discusses the notability of astronomical objects i.e. whether they should have an article at all. This page discusses the title used for the article, if it has passed the notability threshold.
