{{main|Template:Infobox planet}}

This template has been designed for the presentation of information on non-stellar astronomical objects: planets (including extrasolar planets), dwarf planets, moons and minor planets. For {{section link||Extrasolar planets}} and {{section link||Comets}}, alternative templates exist.

The adjunct infobox-example is generated by the {{tl|Infobox planet}} template for the minor planet {{mpl|(78799) 2002 XW|93}}. This example uses the following wikicode:

• for a clean syntax, citations should be listed separately in the article's "References" section {{crossreference|(see {{section link||References: segregated citations used in infobox}})}}.
• The above example uses a basic parameter selection for minor planets with some parameters such as {{para|image}} and {{para|mass}} left empty.
• The template has an optional astron argument whose default value is helion; this allows its use to describe asteroid moons, as in the S/2000 (1998 WW31) 1 example.
• Formatting unnamed minor planets
• use {{tl|mp}} to format unnamed minor planets: {{mp|(78799) 2002 XW|93}} displays as {{mp|(78799) 2002 XW|93}}
• use {{tl|mpl}} to add a link: {{mpl|(78799) 2002 XW|93}} displays as {{mpl|(78799) 2002 XW|93}}
• use {{tl|mpl-}} to suppress the designation's number part: {{mpl-|78799|2002 XW|93}} displays as {{mpl-|78799|2002 XW|93}}
• for more details {{crossreference|see :Template:mp/doc}}
• to modify the article's title with subscripted index, use {{DISPLAYTITLE:}}. See first line in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=(78799)_2002_XW93&action=edit#editform edit window] of article {{mpl|(78799) 2002 XW|93}}

Template: {{tl|Infobox galaxy cluster}}

This example table should be edited and used for galaxy groups, clusters, and superclusters. It automatically assigns the article to :Category:Galaxy clusters.

The sample data for this group was taken from the [http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/ NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED)] on 2006-09-18. However, NED may not be the best reference for all galaxy groups. It can be reliably used for compact groups such as the one in this example, and it can be used reliably for most Abell clusters and other moderate and high-redshift clusters, but it should be used cautiously (if used at all) for nearby galaxy groups such as the M81 Group.
