To build a sector requires more effort than just applying a template and filling in the standard data fields. However, doing exactly that is the first step:

Template Placement

  1. Cut & paste the following code into the blank sector article.
  2. For the infobox code:
    1. SectorImage= : the associated graphic for the sector is placed here; otherwise use the default image.
    2. Name= : Add the common name, if assigned. If none assigned, use the Sector Number in place of the name.
    3. Number= : If the Sector Number is not used in place of an unassigned name, add it to this field.
    4. Designation= : The galactic designation (e.g., 15-02-076-12) is placed here.
    5. Systems= : The number of star systems, including remnants but excluding unusual items or unidentified interstellar phenomenon (such as black holes or nebulae), is placed here.
    6. Affiliations= : List the wikilinked affiliations, if any, here. Otherwise, "unaligned."
    7. Capital= : If the sector has any designated capital systems or worlds, indicate them here (in wikilinks).
    8. Quadrant= : Indicate which of the four quadrants the sector is located.
  3. For the article template:
    1. Systems: Create a line item for every star system, unusual object, and interstellar phenomenon, placing just the page name inside the first column's wikilinks. This will serve as a checklist for page creation.
    2. Extrasolar Facilities: Generally left blank at time of sector page creation, this tracks all known facilities or otherwise important locations that do not exist in the Systems section. Generally, anything built (i.e., not naturally occuring) will be placed here, but non-star systems will also be placed in here, as important locations of note. If something exists within a star system, it will not be indicated on the sector page.
    3. Sector Files: Files that constitute data records for the sector are accessed and updated through this link.
    4. Sector#: Change the pound (#) sign to the number (usually 0) or first letter of the sector. The template will add the sector to that category page.
