Template:Place Summary

Summary

This template provides a uniform look for all in-game location pages other than astral bodies (use {{System Infobox}} or {{Planet Infobox}}, and should be used at the top of the pages for any cities, houses, starstations, random POIs, etc. It automatically fills in the breadcrumb trails, primary image, and primary description. The description is also made available for other templates, such as Place Link.

Parameters

Parameters marked as being "autolinked" can be provided either as links or plain text and will convert plain text to links.
