To help standardize a lot of the pages and help condense the code I've made some infoboxes.  Currently there are six and in this blog I'm going to try to very briefly go over each one.  To add an infobox to a page just copy the code listed on the infobox's template page into the page's source code and then fill in the fields.

Note that all of the infoboxes automatically add pages to their corresponding category.

Thanks for reading this blog and if there are any questions please feel free to message me or leave a comment.

<tabber>Role Infobox=
Used on all of the [[:Category:Roles|role]] pages.

Automatically adds pages to [[:Category:Roles]]

Base code:
<pre style="width: 300px;">
{{RoleInfobox
| risk              = 
| reward            = 
| timeinvestment    = 
| suggestedship     = 
| suggestedupgrades = 
}}
</pre>

|-|Ship Infobox=
Used on all of the ship pages.

Automatically adds pages to [[:Category:Ships]]

This infobox is nice because it will hide hardpoint and internal compartment sections that aren't filled in so that smaller ships won't have sections with no information being displayed.  I've only included information that can be found in-game and thus there is no "type" field or "dimensions" field currently.

Base code:
<pre style="width: 300px">
{{ShipInfobox
| image               = 
| manufacturer        = 
| cost                = 
| topspeed            = 
| boostspeed          = 
| maneuverability     = 
| shields             = 
| armour              = 
| hullmass            = 
| cargocapacity       = 
| fuelcapacity        = 
| jumprange           = 
| utility             = 
| small               = 
| medium              = 
| large               = 
| huge                = 
| size1               = 
| size2               = 
| size3               = 
| size4               = 
| size5               = 
| size6               = 
| size7               = 
| size8               = 
}}
</pre>

Add following text above the <nowiki>}}</nowiki> for faction requirements:

<pre style="width: 300px">
| factionreq          = 
| factionrank         = 
</pre>
</noinclude>

|-|Commodity Infobox=
Used on all commodity pages.

Automatically adds pages to [[:Category:Commodities]] and (depending on if the classification is Rare Commodity) will also add [[:Category:Rare Commodities]]

Base code:
<pre style="width: 300px">
{{CommodityInfobox
| classification = 
| type           = 
| gap            = 
}}
</pre>

|-|System Infobox=
<span style="color: red;">-Note-</span> Currently under construction as I'm still trying to figure out how to display the faction information on the System pages <span style="color: red;">-Note-</span>

Used on all of the main system pages.  An example can be seen on the [[Sol]] system page.

Automatically adds pages to [[:Category:Star systems]]

Base code:
<pre style="width: 300px">
{{SystemInfobox
| controller = 
| government = 
| state      = 
| allegiance = 
| population = 
| security   = 
}}
</pre>

|-|Celestial Infobox=
Used on celestial pages (stars/planets/moons/asteroid belts).

There are different types of celestials and thus there are different variations of this infobox.  For information on how to use this infobox I recommend reading through the [[Template:CelestialInfobox/doc|documentation available here]].  Examples of this infobox can be found on these pages: [[Mercury]], [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]].

Automatically adds pages to either [[:Category:Stars]], [[:Category:Planets]], [[:Category:Moons]], or <nowiki>[[:Category:Asteroid Belts]]</nowiki> based on the "celestialtype" field.

The generic code of this infobox is below and should work for all celestials (stars/planets/moons/asteroid belts) but should avoid being used if possible: 

<pre>{{CelestialInfobox
| celestialtype       = 
| reserves            = 
| ringtype            = 
| moonmasses          = 
| earthmasses         = 
| radius              = 
| age                 = 
| solarmasses         = 
| solarradius         = 
| surfacetemp         = 
| surfacepressure     = 
| volcanism           = 
| atmospheretype      = 
| atmosphere          = 
| composition         = 
| orbitalperiod       = 
| semimajoraxis       = 
| orbitaleccentricity = 
| orbitalinclination  = 
| argofperiapsis      = 
| rotationalperiod    = 
| axialtilt           = 
| planetaryring       = 
| pr_reserves         = 
| pr_type             = 
| pr_mass             = 
| pr_semimajoraxis    = 
| pr_innerradius      = 
| pr_outerradius      = 
}}</pre>

|-|Station Infobox=
Used on station pages.  An example of this infobox can be found on the [[Leonard Nimoy Station]] page.

Automatically adds pages to [[:Category:Stations]]

Base code:
<pre style="width: 300px">
{{StationInfobox
| faction             = 
| government          = 
| allegiance          = 
| influence           = 
| state               = 
| facilities          = 
| economy             = 
| imports             = 
| exports             = 
| prohibited          = 
| orbitalperiod       = 
| semimajoraxis       = 
| orbitaleccentricity = 
| orbitalinclination  = 
| argofperiapsis      = 
| rotationalperiod    = 
| axialtilt           = 
}}
</pre>
