Template:Infobox star system

Template page
Revision as of 06:00, 18 October 2026 by Maintenance script (talk | contribs) (Redesign: Star Citizen Wiki style Main Page, infoboxes and notices; short descriptions; Create a page)

Infobox for star systems. Put it at the very top of the page. Every field is optional, and empty fields and sections are hidden. Pages using it in the main namespace are added to Category:Systems automatically.

It also sets the page's short description (the line under the title) automatically, for example "Star system in the Outer Reach". To write your own instead, fill in short_description.

Example

{{Infobox star system
| image          = Sigma Draconis.png
| stars          = 1
| star_type      = G9V (yellow-orange dwarf)
| distance       = 18.8 light-years from Sol
| planets        = [[Planet A]], [[Planet B]]
| native_species = [[Draconis Koi]]
}}

Summary box for a star system. All fields are optional; empty fields and sections are hidden. Also sets the page's short description automatically.
