== Section II: Planet Page Formatting ==
Remember to view [[Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy#Basic_Editing_Do's_and_Don'ts|Do's and Don'ts]] section of this page.
== Top of Page ==
Reference [[Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy#Top_of_The_Page_(Notices_and_Information)|Top of The Page (Notices and Information)]]. Additionally, remember to give a brief description of the planet, similar as you would a ship.
== Planet Infobox ==
This is similar to the [[Template:Ship Infobox Template|Ship Infobox Template]], but also different. See the example on the [[Template:Planetary Infobox V1|template]], and see existing [[:Category:Planets|planet]] pages to familiarize yourself with using the template, as well as getting an understanding of what the page should look like. Note that the tip about galleries in [[Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy#Ship_Infobox|Ship Infobox]] section still applies to this infobox.
== Planet Description ==
Similar to ships; give a through, detailed description of the planet.
== Planet Appearance ==
Identical to the [[Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy#Ship_Appearance|Ship Appearance]] of this page, but planet-oriented.
== Planet Oddities ==
Describe anything like [[:Category:Quest|quests]], [[:Category:Events|events]], [[:Category:Galaxy Lore|lore]], etc. that are directly related to the planet. Remember to use '''third level headings''' for each topic (including quests) discussed in the section. If there is also a page present that is related to the quest or topic title, hyperlink it in the section title. Quest sections on planet pages should have a brief description of the quest, and the same goes for other types of topics. Example:</br>
<nowiki>=== Quest XX: Name === <--Note that "XX" is where you should put the Quest ID, while "Name" is where the quest name should go. Additionally, if there is a related quest page present, hyperlink it in the title like this: === [[<page name>|Quest XX: Name]] ===
Quest XX is found in the Y of <planet name>... (and so on). <--"Y" should be where the quest is on the planet.</nowiki>
== Planet Version History ==
Same as the [[Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy#Version_History|Version History]] section on this page, but planet-oriented.
== Planet Gallery ==
Make use of the [[Template:Image Infobox|Image Infobox Template]] and the gallery formatting class when creating an image gallery in this section of a planet page.
== Planet Trivia ==
Same as the [[Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy#Trivia|Trivia]] section on this page.
