Template:Infobox crater data

[edit] Template documentation

[edit] Usage

This template is intended to be used to create other templates for standardized crater data infoboxes for various solar system bodies.

Its parameters are:

• name - used in the view/discuss/edit links, mandatory. For convenience you can use {{subst:PAGENAME}}

• titlecolor - background color for the title bar
• title - defaults to "Crater characteristics"
• image - an optional image
• caption - an optional caption for the image
• region - an optional freeform row where one may indicate a region the crater is in (eg, Mare Imbrium, Shakespeare quadrangle, etc)
• coordinate_title - the header for the geographic coordinates entry, defaults to [[Geographic coordinate system|Coordinates]]. The next four parameters are used to define the geographic location:
• latitude
• N_or_S
• longitude
• E_or_W

• globe - informs the "coord" template that generates links to external map tools which planet's maps to use. Since the coord template is currently not working right for this purpose, it's currently unused.

• diameter - diameter of the crater, generally in kilometers
• depth - optional, depth of crater
• discoverer - optional, name of the person or probe that discovered the crater
• eponym - optional, for whom or what the crater has been named

Here's an example usage of the template with various pass-through parameters defined:

{{Infobox crater data
|name={{subst:PAGENAME}}
|titlecolor =
|image = {{{image|}}}
|caption= {{{caption|}}}
|latitude = {{{latitude}}}
|N_or_S = {{{N_or_S}}}
|longitude = {{{longitude}}}
|E_or_W = {{{E_or_W}}}
|globe =
|diameter = {{{diameter|}}}
|depth = {{{depth|}}}
|discoverer={{{discoverer|}}}
|eponym ={{{eponym|}}}
}}
