I was toying around with some wikipedia templates and converted one for use here. It has the same fields, just presented differently. I wanted to bounce it off you guys before I implemented it -- what do you think? (edit -- forgot sig) RMF 21:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- B-E-A-UTIFUL! ----Inmobilus 21:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Nice. Though I assume all the planets will be this color? -- Riffsyphon1024 05:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Copy and paste this code to use the Planet template.
Maybe change these to "orbital/rotation period", like on Wikipedia (Wikipedia:Coruscant)? I think it would be more encyclopedic. - Sikon [Talk] 16:37, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. Changed. RMF 21:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
How about a wildlife field for the non-sentient creatures that live on the planet? Could also be a place for plants etc. Not to go overboard and have a huge list in theri but I think it could be good. --Eyrezer 01:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Or, you know, this could be added under its own "Flora and fauna" section in the actual article, where it could be explained more in-depth and not clutter up the infobox. --Imp 01:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I've been away for awhile but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the expanded info box that I proposed was accepted with some formatting modification (which looks excellent). I noticed that there was a discussion that seems to have lagged over the names of the segment headings. I agree with Sikon and the change from “Length of Day/Year” to “Orbital/Rotation Period” makes it sound more encyclopaedic. Further to that, I still feel that Astrometric has the right connotation of the type of information being presented ([2]), rather than "Astrographical" which refers to the imagery of astronomical things. Likewise, Planetology and Socio-political are more appropriate scientific/encyclopaedic terms than “Physical” and “Societal”. Your’s to consider... --Shiaic 15:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Main discussion moved to: Wookieepedia:Consensus track/New planet infobox template
We should probably drop some of the fields in this template, and add a few new. Here's what I'm thinking
- Remove:
- Rename:
- Discuss:
Thoughts? --Imp 08:45, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with all the above points, and would like to add:
--Azizlight 14:44, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- The problem with the "Moons" field is that it would mess up the template in cases like Yavin, which has 23 moons. I agree with your other points. --Imp 15:13, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- What's to go in the section? Nonnative, but populous species? Or creatures? In the former case, that would be impossible, especially for planets like Coruscant and Tatooine, which house thousands of different species. --Imp 22:51, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- See this is why I'd rather stay with the old infobox, as we can remove sections and add them at will depending on how much info we have. All the planets in the movies would have Distance to Core and Surface Water, but nearly nothing else. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:46, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I think it would be better to have numbers in the Suns and Moons fields, with the names (if available) listed in a section of the article. Actually, since there usually aren't a whole lot of suns, perhaps we could name the suns in the infobox, and simply give the number of moons. The number would link to a section with a title such as Orbits or Orbiting bodies which listed them all by name. This would reduce clutter in the infobox. – Aidje 05:02, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- "Capital and Major Cities" is too long and leaves little space for the cities themselves. Maybe reduce to just "Major Cities"? - Sikon 04:41, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Anyone opposed to removing the Population bar? --Imp 23:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'll post the corrected version here based on our changes. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:51, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Can we go with this? --SparqMan 05:37, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Ok to me. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:39, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
I think that we should take the source from the government infobox template, and combine it with the planet infobox. This way, instead of having to add in another infobox for planetary governments, the information will already be worked into the planet infobox. We would still keep the government infobox (obviously), but, for instance, on Naboo, while we would have native species, etc. like normal, beneath would be field for the type of government it had, who the Chief of State is, etc. I was told to propose this here instead of just adding it.--Vaklu 23:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- I know it's a bit late, but I could maybe see adding a few of these fields; at the least, add type of government. —Xwing328 16:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Does Immigrated Species mean, say, if a group of Wookies were to move to Endor and start breeding there? --DanMat6288 01:18, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
I want Spanish language link [[es:Plantilla:Planeta]] to be included (the template page is protected). --Palpatine81 23:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm attempting to make a similar template on a sci-fi wiki, but can't seem to get the CSS to install properly.
If anyone has any experience in this, contacting me at z@demon-sushi.com would be great...I am using mediawiki as well, and have installed the CSS functions, so I'm really not sure what's up with that. It's a huge jumbled mess.Gogoicarus 04:49, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Where can I put the link to a mass of water (for example an ocean) of a planet, in water or in points of interest? I do not know how to fill water camp, in some planets I have seen the percentage (%) of water of the planet but in others I have seen there links to points of interest that are rivers, lakes, seas or oceans. I want to know if this second option is correct, because sometimes there are a lot of points of interest in a planet, and a way of having less or classifing them is to put points of interest related to water in the previous blank, the water camp, but perhaps thats is not orthodox. --Palpatine81 21:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- I believe either percentages or bodies of water are acceptable in the |water= field. —Xwing328 02:38, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
I think that this info box should include a famous native section like in that section for Tatooine it would have Luke Skywalker Anakin Skywalker etc. GTQ 02:29, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
This template need to be recategorized into Astrographical infobox templates. Stake black 19:03, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
Someone needs to correct the spelling of "demonym" within the infobox, as it is currently misspelled as "denonym." Endymion105 (talk) 04:09, April 23, 2015 (UTC)
