1. Cut & paste the following code into the blank planet article.
2. For the infobox code:
   1. AffiliationImage: just the name of the image is sufficient. e.g., Example.jpg, Example.png, etc. If there is no available image, leave the field blank.
   2. Class: replace the question mark ("?") with the letter representing the planetary classification.
   3. Designation: the cartographical "name" for the planet (see Naming Conventions for Planets).
   4. Affiliation: use wikilinks.
   5. Location: use the solar system (with wikilinks), if it is located there; otherwise briefly describe. (ex: "Rogue planet," "deep space," etc.)
   6. Sector: use wikilinks; default to proper name (ex: Terra Nova sector) over numbered sectors.
   7. Quadrant: use wikilinks.
   8. World Status: state the status of the planet, according to the Economy rules.
   9. Distance: indicate the mean distance of the planet from the star (in AUs).
   10. Orbit: indicate the numerical number of the planet's orbit around the star.
   11. Orbital Zone: Indicate the type of zone within which the planet is located: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue.
   12. Orbital Duration: Indicate the length of time in years (and days) for the planet to orbit the star.
   13. Class: replace the question mark ("?") with the letter representing the planetary classification.
   14. Rotation Duration Indicate the length of time (in hours) for the planet to rotate.
   15. Atmospheric Density: Describe the density of the planet's atmosphere.
   16. Gravity: Indicate the strength of the planet's gravity.
   17. Diameter: Indicate the diameter of the planet (in kilometers).
   18. Surface Area: Indicate the overall surface area of the planet (regardless of water area) in square kilometers.
   19. Water Area: Indicate the overall percentage of water presence on the planet's surface (including ice).
   20. Landmasses: Describe the overall presence of landmasses on the planet.
   21. Tectonic Activity: Indicate the intensity of tectonic activity.
   22. Volcanic Activity: Indicate the intensity of volcanic activity.
   23. Temperature Ranges: If the temperature ranges are to be displayed, place "in Celsius" in this field
   24. Satellites: Indicate the number of satellites/moons.
   25. Dominant Lifeform: If life is present, indicate most advanced form.
   26. Lifeform Sentience: If life is present, indicate sentience with "yes" or "no." If not present, leave blank.
   27. Sentient Species: Indicate the dominant (may be multiple) species present, regardless of their origin point.
   28. Tech Level: Indicate the present tech level of the planet's culture(s).
   29. Society Type: Indicate the society type of the planet's culture(s).
   30. Global Population: Indicate the present population present on the planet.
   31. Population Capacity: Indicate the maximum capacity the planet can reliably sustain.

1. For the article template:
   1. Change the italicized comments accordingly.
   2. {{systemnameIntrasystem}}: change 'systemname' to the actual system's name; otherwise remove the template tag.
   3. [[Category:affilliationPlanets]]: change 'affilliation' to the actual affiliated nation's name; if unaffiliated, remove the category tag.
   4. [[Category:# Class Planets]]: change '#' to the planetary class letter (from above infobox).
   5. [[Category:Locations #]]: change '#' to the first letter of the planet's name.
2. Save the new article.
