The example on the far right is the recommended table format for minor planets. It is generated by the {{Инфокутија Планета}} template. The template has an optional astron argument whose default value is helion; this allows its use to describe asteroid moons, as in the S/2000 (1998 WW31) 1 example.
Urhixidur wrote a nifty Windows tool (AstOrb Browser) that can greatly facilitate preparation of these. The most recent version can be downloaded from http://www.bigfoot.com/~D.U.Thibault (at the bottom of the page, under the heading "Delphi 7 and Wikipedia"). Since version 1.4.4, it uses the {{Инфокутија Планета}} format instead of {{Minor Planet}}. It also automatically generates the footers mentioned below, and integrates the necessary diacriticals.
Some values require special attention, as they are not filled in by AstOrb Browser, or are filled in using default values (the default Diameter, Albedo and Density can be overridden, and will revise the dependent values accordingly):
- The discoverer and discovered values can be obtained from the "Discovery" link, or from the List of asteroids.
- The alt_names link should be followed to reach the MPC query form, whence you can obtain the alternative designations (for 61 Danaë, you'd enter "(61)"). Since this page has been broken for a long time now, you can reach the alt_names listing directly by specifying the URL
http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/~cgi/PDes?pm=05178 (for (5178) in this example).
- The mp_category is defaulted to "Main belt", and should be changed as appropriate.
- The dimensions can be replaced by more accurate/recent values, supplying the reference (this value should be entered in AstOrb Browser in order to recompute the mass, gravity and escape velocity accordingly).
- The mass, surface_grav and escape_velocity should be marked with a ? if the density and/or dimensions are guesswork.
- The guesswork albedo, should whenever possible be replaced by a more accurate/recent value, supplying the reference, as was done here (you should use <ref> instead of <sup>, however).
A few short-hand templates are useful when dealing with asteroids with provisional designations. They are Template:mp, Предлошка:мпв, Предлошка:мпв-, Предлошка:мпм, and Предлошка:мпм-:
- mpl ("minor planet link") is used to write a link, like so {{мпв|(15874) 1996 TL|66}} = (15874) 1996 TL66, whilst
- mp ("minor planet") saves you from typing <sub></sub> if you'd rather not: {{мп|(15874) 1996 TL|66}} = (15874) 1996 TL66.
- mpl- is used with numbered asteroids that have kept (so far) their provisional designations: {{мпв-|15760|1992 QB|1}} = 1992 QB1 instead of (15760) 1992 QB1.
- mpm ("minor planet moon") is used to write a link to a minor planet's moon (where the minor planet is known by a provisional designation), such as S/2000 (1998 WW31) 1, which is written {{mpm|S/2000 (1998 WW|31|) 1}}.
- mpm- ("minor planet moon") writes just the name, without the link (e.g. S/2000 (1998 WW31) 1, which is written {{mpm-|S/2000 (1998 WW|31|) 1}}).
Particularly useful are {{Мали планети-редослед }} and {{Мали тела во Сончевиот Систем}}. Scroll down beyond the table to the right to see examples of these.
Comets
Предлошка:Comet
As discussed above, кометиs might be served better by a different template. Here is a suggestion for {{Comet}} we can toy with until we are happy with it. Awolf002 00:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

This table is composed of the following sub-templates:

Short star template
This template is for stubby star articles, and should be replaced with the full template when the article is expanded.
Obsolete:
Replaced by:
Предлошка:Extrasolar Planet
Supernovae
Template: {{Supernova }}
This is a table template that should be used for supernovae. It automatically assigns the article to Category:Supernovae.
Open Clusters
Template: {{Cluster}}
Sample table for M22. Please modify and improve as needed.
Globular Clusters
Предлошка:Globular cluster
Template: {{Globular cluster}}
Sample table for M22. Please modify and improve as needed.
The template is for globular clusters.
Galaxies
Template: {{Infobox Galaxy}}
This example table should be edited and used for galaxies.
Notes: Please see List of galaxies to find galaxies that do not yet have infoboxes/factsheets.
Please categorise your galaxy in a subcategory of Category:Galaxies
Galaxy cluster
Template: {{Galaxy cluster}}
This example table should be edited and used for galaxy groups, clusters, and superclusters. It automatically assigns the article to Category:Galaxy clusters.
The sample data for this group was taken from the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) on 2006-09-18. However, NED may not be the best reference for all galaxy groups. It can be reliably used for compact groups such as the one in this example, and it can be used reliably for most Abell clusters and other moderate and high-redshift clusters, but it should be used cautiously (if used at all) for nearby galaxy groups such as the M81 Group.
Quasar
Template: {{Quasar}}
This example table should be edited and used for quasars.

Please place new planetary nebulae on this list, and categorize in Category:Planetary nebulae, the category of its constellation, and the category of its catalog (ex:Category:Messier objects), in that order.
Protoplanetary Nebulae
Предлошка:Protoplanetary nebula
Template: {{Protoplanetary nebula}}
This example should be copied and used for all protoplanetary nebulae. See List of protoplanetary nebulae for articles on protoplanetary nebulae.

Dark Nebulae
Template: {{Dark nebula}}
Currently (2007) there are only six dark nebulae on Wikipedia, see List of dark nebulae.
