<br />
==Purpose==<br />
This template provides a standardized infobox for the 88 IAU recognized constellations; the modern constellations used in modern-day science.<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{Infobox constellation<br />

| symbolism = <!-- symbolic meaning of the constellation --><br />

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