System Templates

These templates represent star systems that have already been generated. The first star represents the primary, while additional stars are listed alphabetically. Therefore, a "BMM system" system will differ from a "MBM system" in that the primary stars are different classes.


New Template

When creating a new system with no surveying of any type, start with the following template:

  1. Cut & paste the following code into the blank solar system article.
  2. For the infobox code:
    1. Class=[[SFC:SC|?]]: replace the '?' with the letter code for the star class. (See Stellar classification and Help:Star Gallery for guidance.)
    2. StarImage=Type # star.png: Replace the '#' with the letter code for the star class. If it is a multiple star system, replace 'Type # star.jpg' with either Binary_system.JPG, Trinary system.JPG or Quadruple system.jpeg.
    3. Size: Add in the size, such as Super-giant (I), Giant (III), Main Sequence (V), or Dwarf (VII).
    4. Associated Bodies=: A very short summary of the bodies in the system. (ex:10 planets, numerous moons)
    5. Affiliation: use wikilinks.
    6. Coordinates: recorded as both Federation and Sector coordinates.
    7. Sector: use wikilinks; default to proper name (ex: Terra Nova sector) over numbered sectors.
    8. Quadrant: use wikilinks.
  3. 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:affiliationStars|{{PAGENAME}}]]: change 'affilliation' to the actual affiliated nation's name; if unaffiliated, remove the category tag.
    4. [[Category:# Class Stars|{{PAGENAME}}]]: change '#' to the star class letter (from above infobox).
    5. [[Category:Sector #|{{PAGENAME}}]]: change '#' to the actual sector located.
    6. [[Category:Unexplored Systems|{{PAGENAME}}]]: remove this category once explored and/or aligned, or if creating a canon/complete system
    7. [[Category: Systems To Be Placed|{{PAGENAME}}]]: remove this category if the host sector is known and has a supporting page; otherwise, this category allows for the system to be built and held until later.
  4. Save the new article.
