Template:Uses Wikidata

  1. redirect Template:Parameter names example

Description

This template is for use at the start of articles on astronomical objects that do not have a specialized infobox template of their own.

Usage

Just add:

{{infobox astronomical object}}

to the top of an article, and data will be automatically included from Wikidata where they are available. These values can be overridden by passing values to the relevant parameters in the article. The full list of parameters is:

Parameter Default Description
name Wikidata label (en)
(Or Page name)
The designation of the object
image Lua error in Module:Wd at line 196: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P18) Illustration

ra The parameter for right ascension. Please use {{RA|00|00|00}} or {{Deg2HMS|000.0000|sup=yes}} templates to specify this
dec The parameter for declination. Please use the {{DEC|00|00|00}} template to specify this

mass / mass_msol Depending on the mass of the object, use kg, ML, M, MJ, or Template:Solar mass (via {{Lunar mass|link=y}}, {{Earth mass|link=y}}, {{Jupiter mass|link=y}}, or {{Solar mass|link=y}}).
