==Usage==

Name
*For the named irregulars use the name followed by the designation e.g. Psamathe - Neptune X
*Use the provisional designation otherwise

The following parameters for the references should be defined
* ref_discovery
** appears in the '''Discovery''' header
**Suggested default <nowiki><ref name="Discoverers_JPL">Discovery Circumstances [http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?sat_discovery (JPL)]</ref></nowiki>
*ref_orb_elems
**appears in the '''Orbital elements''' header

The following parameters are optional (defaults provided)
*orb_elems_type
**appears in front of '''Orbital elements'''
**defined default '''Mean'''
**use '''Osculating''' or '''Best-fit''' when mean elements are not available
*footnote_1
**refers to the '''inclination'''
**the default is ''to the [[ecliptic]]''; preferred for the irregulars
**use ''to the planet's equator'' if ecliptic is not available
**try to avoid ''to the Laplace plane'' as this is requires the definition of the plane
**try to avoid re-calculating the inclination
*footnote_2
**refers to the '''diameter'''
**the default is ''based on the albedo''
