Hello everyone and thanks for visiting the wiki!

Infoboxes
RoleInfobox
ShipInfobox
CommodityInfobox
SystemInfobox
CelestialInfobox
StationInfobox

To help standardize a lot of the pages and help condense the code I've made some infoboxes. Currently there are six and in this blog I'm going to try to very briefly go over each one. To add an infobox to a page just copy the code listed on the infobox's template page into the page's source code and then fill in the fields.

Note that all of the infoboxes automatically add pages to their corresponding category.

Thanks for reading this blog and if there are any questions please feel free to message me or leave a comment.

Used on all of the role pages.

Automatically adds pages to Category:Roles

Base code:

{{RoleInfobox
| risk              = 
| reward            = 
| timeinvestment    = 
| suggestedship     = 
| suggestedupgrades = 
}}

Used on all of the ship pages.

Automatically adds pages to Category:Ships

This infobox is nice because it will hide hardpoint and internal compartment sections that aren't filled in so that smaller ships won't have sections with no information being displayed. I've only included information that can be found in-game and thus there is no "type" field or "dimensions" field currently.

Base code:

{{ShipInfobox
| image               = 
| manufacturer        = 
| cost                = 
| topspeed            = 
| boostspeed          = 
| maneuverability     = 
| shields             = 
| armour              = 
| hullmass            = 
| cargocapacity       = 
| fuelcapacity        = 
| jumprange           = 
| utility             = 
| small               = 
| medium              = 
| large               = 
| huge                = 
| size1               = 
| size2               = 
| size3               = 
| size4               = 
| size5               = 
| size6               = 
| size7               = 
| size8               = 
}}

Add following text above the }} for faction requirements:

| factionreq          = 
| factionrank         = 

Used on all commodity pages.

Automatically adds pages to Category:Commodities and (depending on if the classification is Rare Commodity) will also add Category:Rare Commodities

Base code:

{{CommodityInfobox
| classification = 
| type           = 
| gap            = 
}}

-Note- Currently under construction as I'm still trying to figure out how to display the faction information on the System pages -Note-

Used on all of the main system pages. An example can be seen on the Delphin system page.

Automatically adds pages to Category:Star Systems

Base code:

{{SystemInfobox
| controller = 
| government = 
| state      = 
| allegiance = 
| population = 
| security   = 
}}

Used on celestial pages (stars/planets/moons/asteroid belts).

There are different types of celestials and thus there are different variations of this infobox. For information on how to use this infobox I recommend reading through the documentation available here. Examples of this infobox can be found on these pages: Delphin, Delphin 1, Delphin 6 A

Automatically adds pages to either Category:Stars, Category:Planets, Category:Moons, or Category:Asteroid Belts based on the "celestialtype" field.

The generic code of this infobox is below and should work for all celestials (stars/planets/moons/asteroid belts) but should avoid being used if possible:

{{CelestialInfobox
| celestialtype       = 
| reserves            = 
| ringtype            = 
| moonmasses          = 
| earthmasses         = 
| radius              = 
| age                 = 
| solarmasses         = 
| solarradius         = 
| surfacetemp         = 
| surfacepressure     = 
| volcanism           = 
| atmospheretype      = 
| atmosphere          = 
| composition         = 
| orbitalperiod       = 
| semimajoraxis       = 
| orbitaleccentricity = 
| orbitalinclination  = 
| argofperiapsis      = 
| rotationalperiod    = 
| axialtilt           = 
| planetaryring       = 
| pr_reserves         = 
| pr_type             = 
| pr_mass             = 
| pr_semimajoraxis    = 
| pr_innerradius      = 
| pr_outerradius      = 
}}

Used on station pages. An example of this infobox can be found on the Joliot-Curie_Dock page.

Automatically adds pages to Category:Stations

Base code:

{{StationInfobox
| faction             = 
| government          = 
| allegiance          = 
| influence           = 
| state               = 
| facilities          = 
| economy             = 
| imports             = 
| exports             = 
| prohibited          = 
| orbitalperiod       = 
| semimajoraxis       = 
| orbitaleccentricity = 
| orbitalinclination  = 
| argofperiapsis      = 
| rotationalperiod    = 
| axialtilt           = 
}}
