TemplateData for Extrasolar planet counts
Centralizes the counts of verified extrasolar planets and systems
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| data field | 1 | Specifies the data value to be inserted
| String | required |
| format code | 2 | Controls the format for as-of data
| String | optional |
| data source | source | Switches the data source as reference
| String | optional |
The first parameter can be assigned these data values:
- asof - the date as of which the data is valid. With asof only, a second parameter can be specified indicating the format of the date to be inserted. {{date}} is used, and the format codes are defined there.
- planet_count - the number of extrasolar planets
- system_count - the number of systems with extrasolar planets
- multiplanetsystem_count - the number of systems with more than one extrasolar planet
- ref - adds a reference to The Extrasolar Planet Encyclopaedia Catalog Listing
- full - if the entire message displayed on this template is desired
Data source
These numbers are sourced from the frequently updated Interactive Extra-solar Planets Catalog, located here.
