Template:Infobox planet/doc

This template has been designed for the presentation of information on non-stellar astronomical bodies: planets (including extrasolar planets), dwarf planets, moons and minor planets. Some parameters will not be applicable to individual types; these may be omitted without any problems to the template's function.

Usage notes

 * This template expects that the tag will be present in articles setting the minorplanet parameter to yes. Pages without a  tag  will show Cite error: There are tags on this page for a group named "note", but the references will not show without a   tag; see Help:Cite errors. at the bottom of the page.
 * When parameters relating to minor planets are used (e.g. mp_name), several subheadings and wikilinks within the template are made specific to minor planets. For standard formulas for computable values and sources of physical data, see Template talk:Infobox Nonstellar body and Standard asteroid physical characteristics.
 * For bodies orbiting bodies other than the Sun, include the parameter |apsis = (appropriate suffix) . This will replace various parameters' default "-helion" suffix to the suffix set by the apsis parameter. For example, setting |apsis = astron converts the labels "perihelion", "aphelion" and "Argument of perihelion" into "periastron", "apastron" and "Argument of periastron" respectively.

Recommended parameters
For a list of all parameters, see All parameters below.

Exosolar planets


Minor planets


See here for means of semi-automating this template's transclusion as regards minor planets.
 * For satellites of minor planets, include the parameter |apsis = astron (see above).
