Template:Infobox star system
More actions
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.
