Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Infobox lunar eclipse}} is an {{

geocentric coordinates and delta T to avoid information bloating and keeping the infobox as short as reasonably possible. This infobox is designed with a subheading parameter, two image parameters, one caption parameter, sixteen cell parameters and two succession link parameters. Its syntax makes use of a collapsible list, two {{#if:}}, and two {{#ifexist:}} parser functions, along with a hCalendar

microformat.

Parameters

Parameter(s)	Description
`type`	Specifies in the infobox headline what type of eclipse the event was. This parameter has three defined inputs, all of which correspond to a subheader style. The input `total` can be used for a total eclipse, `partial` for a partial eclipse, and `penumbral` for penumbral eclipses.
`image`	This first image parameter displays an image thumbnail at the size of the user's preferences as specified in their settings. This parameter is intended to be used to display a photograph of the lunar eclipse, preferably in a tight square crop filled with a full disc view of the moon. This image would be an example of the kind intended to be displayed in this parameter. Omit the `File:` prefix in the filename when pasting it as an input to this parameter.
`alt`	This image alt caption parameter allows for the input of an alt caption, which displays a description of the image when it fails to load. A simple description such as "A dark-red coloured Moon" should suffice.
`caption`	This image caption parameter is intended to describe the photograph used in the `image` parameter above it, formatted as follows: the point during the eclipse it was taken, the location on Earth it was taken from, and the time it was taken in UTC. For example, "Totality from Wollongong, New South Wales, 09:48 UTC"
`date`	This parameter is used to display the date of the eclipse in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), formatted in day-month-year. If the eclipse's penumbral stages occur across two dates in UTC, input only the date in which greatest eclipse occurs. For example, the July 2019 lunar eclipse occurs over 16–17 July 2019, though greatest eclipse occurs on 21:30:45 UTC on 16 July. Therefore, "16 July 2019" should be the input for the date.
`gamma`	This parameter is used to display the gamma value of an eclipse, with positive values written as a decimal number and negative values written with a minus sign (−) as a prefix. For example, the gamma of the May 2022 lunar eclipse is written as "-0.2532", and the gamma value for the May 2021 lunar eclipse is written as "0.4774".
`magnitude`	This parameter is used to display either the penumbral or umbral magnitude of the eclipse. If an eclipse is partial or total, the umbral magnitude is written in this parameter, while the penumbral magnitude is written in this parameter for penumbral eclipses.
`saros_ser`, `saros_no`	These parameters are used to display both the wikilink to that article, and if not it simply displays the input as normal text. The second use is achieved using the `saros_no` parameter, where both the entry number the eclipse represents is displayed along the total amount of eclipses in the series, preferably conjoined with the preposition "of". For example, the June 2010 lunar eclipse is described in this parameter as "58 of 84" in Lunar Saros 120 .
`totality`, `partiality`, `penumbral`	These parameters are used to display the amount of time each phase of the eclipse lasted, intended to be formatted in worded minutes and seconds. For example, 102 minutes, 50 seconds. `totality` is used to display how long the totality phase of the eclipse lasted, `partiality` for the partiality phase, and `penumbral` for the penumbral phase. Omit the `totality` parameter completely if it is only a partial eclipse, and omit both `totality` and `partiality` if it is a penumbral eclipse.
`p1`, `u1`, `u2`, `greatest`, `u3`, `u4`, `p4`	These parameters that form part of the collapsed "Contacts" section of the infobox are used to detail the exact times, in umbra (U1 contact) and is completely enveloped by it (U2). The `greatest` parameter corresponds to the point at which the moon is at its greatest eclipse. If an eclipse occurs over two dates, be sure to note the date that is not represented in the `date` parameter. For example, `u4` for the July 2019 lunar eclipse should be set to "00:17:36 (17 July)"
`previous`, `next`	These succession parameters at the bottom of the infobox are used to display the previous and next eclipse in chronological order and regardless of eclipse type, relative to the current one being detailed. The wikilink if a wikipedia article on the previous and/or next eclipse exists. For example, setting either parameter to `January 2018` will set the wikilink to January 2018 lunar eclipse .

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. Within the hCalendar is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Dates will only be included if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates, but do not use any of these if the date is before 1583 CE). {{End date}} requires that a time be specified, but display of this time may be suppressed by adding |nodate=yes to the end.

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

attendee
dtend
dtstart
location
summary
url
vevent

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

geo
latitude
longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Also, when giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
