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

| abbreviation = <!-- IAU three letter abbreviation -->
| genitive = <!-- genitive form of the constellation,
as used in Bayer or Flamsteed designations -->

( distance < 10 parsecs ) -->

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 designations and Flamsteed designations
- pronounce – (Optional) — The pronunciation of the constellation's name, and the genitive form. Please use the IPA and optionally respelling.
|pronounce=
;Name
* ((IPAc-en|IPA)) ((respell|respelling))
;Genitive
* ((IPAc-en|IPA)) ((respell|respelling))
- 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 ((RA)) or ((Deg2HMS)) template to fill in this parameter
- the right ascension of the lower and upper extremes of the constellation
- dec – (Mandatory) — declination, use the ((DEC)) template to fill in this parameter
- the declination of the lower and upper extremes of the constellation
- RA – (Mandatory) — right ascension, use the ((RA)) or ((Deg2HMS)) template to fill in this parameter
- liststyle – (Optional) — style for included lists; default is plain,
hlistfor horizontal andflatlistfor bulleted.
