Select Solar System Template and Create

There are Three baseline templates to choose from:

Solar System 10 Orbit (default)

Solar System 10 Orbit (default)

Solar System 8 Orbit (default)

Eight Orbit Path (2 and 10 removed)


Solar System 5 Orbit (default)

Five orbit Path Only

Copy the code from the page selected and paste this onto your new Solar System Page and save. (Create Page help)

Remove orbit rings

Add orbit ring (adv)

Move orbit ring (adv)

Select Planet graphics and set size and location

Look over the Category:Planet and select a planet that looks about right and copy the image name.


- eg Earth is file name = Solar_System_Sol_Earth.png

edit your new solar system page and scroll down to entry 16 and paste the image name over the top of Barren One.png:

  | float16 = '''Solar_System_Sol_Earth.png'''
  | float16_width = 50px
  | float16_alt =
  | float16_caption =
  | link16 = 
  | x16 = 95
  | y16 = 320
  | t16 =<div style="font-family:'Caslon Antique';color:#e8e8e8;font-size:18px;text-indent:10px;font-weight:bold;">One</div> 

Size the planet to the size you'd like in pixels anything between 20-120 works, 30-90 are optimal.

  | float16 = Solar_System_Sol_Earth.png
  | float16_width = '''60px'''
  | float16_alt =
  | float16_caption =
  | link16 = 
  | x16 = 95
  | y16 = 320
  | t16 =<div style="font-family:'Caslon Antique';color:#e8e8e8;font-size:18px;text-indent:10px;font-weight:bold;">One</div> 

Set the mouse over caption and page to load when the user clicks the planet. Leaving them blank is okay

  | float16 = Solar_System_Sol_Earth.png
  | float16_width = 60px
  | float16_alt =
  | float16_caption = Earth
  | link16 = Earth
  | x16 = 0
  | y16 = 0
  | t16 = 

Next align the planet on the required Orbit ring, planets don't need to be added in order so the first planet could be placed on Orbit 3. Assuming your using a circular shaped planet (no rings). Use the below table to cross-reference the correct X,Y coordinates in relation to planet size in pixels. eg Earth at 60px and Orbit 3 has an X,Y of x= 315, y= 315. This should give you good alignment if using the base templates but any issues just adjust the X,Y values manually +-5px increments.

  | float16 = Solar_System_Sol_Earth.png
  | float16_width = 60px
  | float16_alt =
  | float16_caption = Earth
  | link16 = Earth
  | x16 = 315
  | y16 = 315
  | t16 =

Last add a Planet name Copy this (I should template this I think):

<div style="font-family:'Caslon Antique';color:#e8e8e8;font-size:18px;text-indent:10px;font-weight:bold;">Earth</div>

The key in the above is the text-indent, for shorter planet names you'll need less indent for longer you'll need negative indent. This also depends on the size of the planet. Start with the above settings and then save and adjust.

  | float16 = Solar_System_Sol_Earth.png
  | float16_width = 60px
  | float16_alt =
  | float16_caption = Earth
  | link16 = Earth
  | x16 = 315
  | y16 = 315
  | t16 = <div style="font-family:'Caslon Antique';color:#e8e8e8;font-size:18px;text-indent:10px;font-weight:bold;">Earth</div>

Save the page and your first planet will appear, repeat the above for other planets in the system.

Add Large planet info box(s)

Use these for large important planets

The planet info box is created by basically inserting a second template inside the superimpose2 template.

Usage

 
{{SS Info Box Large
           |Image=
           |Imagelink=
           |Name=
           |AU=

           |Trade=
           |Aestimare=
           |Tithe=
         }}

Parameter definitions

  • Image: The planet image you would like to appear on the right
  • Imagelink: The page to load if the image is clicked - best if this matches the link name on the Solar system map for that planet. Although it dosen;t need to you could link to external source with more information.
  • Name: The planet name that that appears at the top of the box
  • AU: The Average Distance in AU's from the Solar systems Star
  • Region: No real idea, is there some warhammer40k standard?
  • Gravity: Average Gravity on planet at the surface
  • AvgTemp: Average Temp on surface globally per year. eg Earths global average is about 15C
  • Owner: Main Species or Species+Political eg Human-Imperial
  • Trade: Another no idea any W40k standard?
  • Aestimare: Another no idea?
  • Tithe: Very Basic Explanation Here


Add Small planet info box(s)

Similar to above but smaller box size use

 
{{SS Info Box Small
           |Image=
           |Imagelink=
           |Name=

 - Info to be added Sirrob01 (talk) 20:21, 24 August 2013 (CDT)


Add Solar system name

Edit your page and add the below to Slot 50 change "SOL SYSTEM MAP" to the name of the Solar system.

  | float50 =
  | float50_width =
  | float50_alt = 
  | float50_caption = 
  | link50 =
  | x50 = 600
  | y50 = 5
  | t50 = <div style="font-family:'Caslon Antique';color:#e8e8e8;font-size:30px;text-indent:0px;font-weight:bold;">SOL SYSTEM MAP</div>
