{{Lua|Module:Infobox|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}

==Purpose==
This template provides a standardized infobox for the 88 IAU recognized constellations; the modern constellations used in modern-day science.

==Usage==
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Infobox constellation
| name = 
| abbreviation = 
| genitive = 
| pronounce = 
| symbolism = 
| RA = {{RA}} – {{RA}} 
| dec = {{DEC}} – {{DEC}} 
| (deprecated, won't appear) family = 
| (deprecated) quadrant = 
| areatotal =
| arearank =
| numbermainstars = 
| numberbfstars = 
| numberstarsplanets = X (Y with candidates)

| numberbrightstars = 
| numbernearbystars =

| neareststarname =
| stardistance =
| numbermessierobjects =
| meteorshowers =
| bordering =
| latmax =
| latmin =
| month =
| notes =
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

==Parameters==
* ''name'' – '''(Mandatory)''' — The name of the constellation, as defined by the IAU
* ''abbreviation'' – '''(Mandatory)''' — The three letter IAU abbreviation for the constellation
* ''genitive'' – '''(Mandatory)''' — The genetive form of the constellation's name used in the construction of star names in [[Bayer designation]]s and [[Flamsteed designation]]s
* ''pronounce'' – '''(Optional)''' — The pronunciation of the constellation's name, and the genitive form. Please use the [[Help:IPA/English|IPA]] and optionally [[Help:Pronunciation respelling key|respelling]].
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
|pronounce=
;Name
* {{IPAc-en|IPA}} {{respell|respelling}}
;Genitive
* {{IPAc-en|IPA}} {{respell|respelling}}
</syntaxhighlight>
* ''symbolism'' – '''(Optional)''' — the meaning of the constellation
::ie. Draco, is "the dragon", so fill in as ''the dragon''
* RA and dec -- coordinates of the constellation
** RA – '''(Mandatory)''' — [[right ascension]], use the {{tl|RA}} or {{tl|Deg2HMS}} template to fill in this parameter
**: the right ascension of the lower and upper extremes of the constellation
** dec – '''(Mandatory)''' — [[declination]], use the {{tl|DEC}} template to fill in this parameter
**: the declination of the lower and upper extremes of the constellation
* ''liststyle'' – '''(Optional)''' — style for included lists; default is plain, <code>hlist</code> for horizontal and <code>flatlist</code> for bulleted.
