This template can be used to provide comparative, at-a-glance information on [[meteorite]] subdivisions.

[[Meteorite classification]] is a complex, ever evolving field with inconsistent use of terminology. This template sidesteps the complexity by providing fields for both the name of the subdivision being described ''and'' the technical term from meteorite classification that best fits it.

Subdivision is an unofficial term used here to avoid the ambiguity inherent to "Group", "Type", etc. and to "Classification" in this context.

=== Usage ===
Cut and paste the following lines at the beginning of the document and then fill with data. Do not edit the first line or field names.

=== Parameters ===
'''Bold''' fields are mandatory.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Field !! Description
|-
|'''Subdivision''' || The meteorite classification term that applies, most likely one of Type/Class/Clan/Group/Subgroup/Grouplet/Duo/... Note that this ''must'' be entered as a [[proper noun]] for the template to work; initial capital letter followed by lower case.

In addition to appearing at the top of the Infobox, this field places the article into ''Category:Meteorite <subdivision>s''.
|-
|'''Name''' || The official name of the meteorite subdivision without any abbreviation; likely to be in ''Table 1'' below.
|-
|Alternative_names || Comma separated alternative names.
|-
|Image || Name of an example image of the subdivision without "File:" or any other wikitext (e.g. ''Willamette Meteorite AMNH.jpg'').
|-
|Image_caption || Most captions draw attention to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text. See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Captions]].
|-
|Image_alt_text || Description of the image for visually impaired readers. See [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images]].
|-
|Compositional_type || Set to ''Iron'' if describing a subdivision of the Iron meteorites or ''Stony'' if describing a subdivision of the Iron meteorites.
|-
|Type || Choose from the first column of ''Table 1'' below.
|-
|Class || Choose from the middle column of ''Table 1'' below.
|-
|Clan || A clan name from a referenced source.
|-
|Group || Likely to be in the last column of ''Table 1'' below.
