Memory Alpha:Template for Planet

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

At the moment, two templates for planets exist. Use the original template (#1) only if information for most of the sections is available. Otherwise, use the new template (#2) to avoid empty sections.

Keep in mind that templates are only a suggestion. If you think that a straight article would be a better choice for the article you intend to write, go ahead.

PUT SIDEBAR HERE, IF NECESSARY

[edit] Template #2 (New)

OR image (one thumbnail showing planet)

SHORT DESCRIPTION (this one may include former sections "Location" and "Alternate Names")

== Overview ==
FURTHER SUMMARY (in this section, summarize all information that is too short
to deserve its own section below; including all information about "Location",
"Alternate Names" and "Moons" as well as former "Sidebar content" that
hasn't been used in the SHORT DESCRIPTION)

related to this planet in chronological order.

== Geography ==
Former subsection "Geographical". Use this to describe important landmarks,
list cities etc.

== Government ==
Former subsection "Political". Describe governmental structure/authorities
of this planet.

[edit] Sidebar template

Sample data is included for the table below. For unknown data, remove the complete line. Use sidebar only if there's enough information available. Incorporate the relevant information into the article text otherwise.
