Starbox is an attempt at presenting each star system and its planets in a standardized format.
Deemed excessive, it was decided it would only be used for the Sol system, for now.
Syntax
{{StarBox|Star Name|Star Color|Star Size|Number of Planets in system| PlanetLine parameters}}
Example
|
Sol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Possibilities for Expansion
- It is possible to add columns for total bio points and RUs on each planet.
- It is possible to include the moons of each planet within the table, since they contain the same data.
- It is possible to include a column for Special item/encounter ... like a checkbox (Y/N).
Limitations/Problems
- Unless someone knows of a way to dynamically link N number of template entries, as in PlanetDataForN, this template is severely limited by requiring a number of statically created "helper" templates for systems with {0, 1, 2, ..., N} number of planets. I do not know enough wiki to know if the equivalent of a for-loop or something similar exists.
- A solution to the preceding limitation is likely pointless, aside from personal curiosity, since creating a page for every star system within the game was seen as filling the Ultronomicon with potentially useless data.
