Planet page titles are to be named Planet Name. There are a number of systems that have the same name as their major planet, so we use "Planet" to distinguish between the system and the planet.

When in text blocks and it is obvious the context is talking about a planet, you may drop the 'Planet'. I.e. "...the corsairs invaded Malta." When it is possible to be confused with the system please use "Planet Name".

Example Planet Page: Planet Manhattan

In Text References to Planets

When referring to the planet in page text please add a capitalised "Planet" or using other forms of reference such as:

[[Category:Bretonia]]
