:In real life, Pluto and Charon are '''TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!!''' Pluto is a dwarf planet, while Charon is ''the moon'' which orbits the planet. Therefore, please stop adding that untrue trivia bit to [[Charon]]'s page.

::In reality it wasn't untrue, just unclear. A standard way of referring to the natural satellites of solar system objects is to use the form <primary> (<discovery order>). Thus, Charon is Pluto (I), while Nix is Pluto (II) and Hydra is Pluto (III). Comparatively, Luna is Earth (I), and Phobos and Diemos are Mars (I) and Mars (II) respectively.
