Usage[edit]
Header[edit]
Template:Launch log (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is used to create a new header. It should only be used once per log, at the top of the log.
{{Launch log
|class = <!--CSS class for launch log table, defaults to wikitable, should usually be omitted-->
|width = <!--width of the table, defaults to the full page width, should usually be omitted-->
|local = <!--whether an additional column for local times next to the UTC one should be provided, yes or no - defaults to no-->
|timezone = <!--the name of the local time zone (if the same for all launch sites), optional, only used if local is set to yes-->
|payloads = <!--whether a row should be provided for payload details, yes or no, defaults to yes*-->
|OneSite = <!--whether the rocket(s) in the table have launched from multiple sites, yes or no, defaults to no-->
|Configuration = <!--title for the column displaying the type/configuration of rocket launched, defaults to "Configuration"-->
|Serial = <!--title for the column displaying serial/tail number of rocket launched, defaults to "Serial number"-->
|Payload = <!--title for the column displaying payload names, defaults to "Payload", only used if payloads is set to yes-->
|Orbit = <!--title for the column displaying trajectories, defaults to "Separation orbit", only used if payloads is set to yes-->
}}
- * - if any launches in the log require this, include it, even if other launches do not require it.
All fields are optional.
Entries[edit]
Launch log entries are added using Template:Launch (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and Template:Launch/Payload (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). This can be called in two ways, using short or full syntax. The short syntax is simpler, but cannot support more than one payload per launch, whereas the full syntax can support any number of payloads.
- Short syntax (0-1 payloads only)
{{Launch
|date = <!--Launch date in UTC-->
|time = <!--Launch time in UTC-->
|local = <!--Launch date/time in local time*-->
|configuration = <!--configuration/variant of the rocket being used-->
|serial = <!--serial number of the rocket being launched-->
|site = <!--Launch site/pad from which the rocket was launched†-->
|outcome = <!--outcome of the launch, eg Successful, Failure, Partial failure, etc-->
|spacecraft = <!--name of the payload‡-->
|orbit = <!--orbit the payload was in at the time of separation, and target orbit if the launch failed‡-->
|function = <!--purpose for which the payload was being launched‡-->
|user = <!--organisation for whom the payload was being launched‡-->
|remarks = <!--unusual features of the flight, causes of failures, notes about payloads, etc-->
}}
- * - must only be used if the local field of the header is set to yes
- † - include pad only if OneSite is set to yes in the header, otherwise include both site and pad if known
- ‡ - should only be used if the payload field of the header is set to yes, or is undefined. Payload details should document the payloads at the time of launch, not later in their flight (ie. their original names and operators, and the orbit which they were in immediately after launch, should be the information provided)
- Full syntax (supports any number of payloads)
{{Launch|NoPL = <!--number of payloads*-->
|date = <!--Launch date/time in UTC-->
|local = <!--Launch date/time in local time†-->
|configuration = <!--configuration/variant of the rocket being used-->
|serial = <!--serial number of the rocket being launched-->
|site = <!--Launch site/pad from which the rocket was launched‡-->
|outcome = <!--outcome of the launch, eg Successful, Failure, Partial failure, etc-->
|payload = <!--see ‖--> {{Launch/Payload <!--one of these templates should be included for every payload ¶-->
|name = <!--name of the payload-->
|orbit = <!--orbit the payload was in at the time of separation, and target orbit if the launch failed-->
|function = <!--purpose for which the payload was being launched-->
|user = <!--organisation for whom the payload was being launched--> }}
|remarks = <!--unusual features of the flight, causes of failures, notes about payloads, etc-->
}}
- * - must be equal to the number of transclusions of {{Launch/Payload}} in the payload section of this launch
- † - must only be used if the local field of the header is set to yes
- ‡ - if OneSite is set to yes in the header then include the pad only, otherwise include both site and pad if known
- ‖ - should only be used if the payload field of the header is set to yes, or is undefined. Payload details should document the payloads at the time of launch, not later in their flight (ie. their original names and operators, and the orbit which they were in immediately after launch, should be the information provided)
- ¶ - number of templates should be equal to the value of NoPL, each template should start on the same line that its predecessor ended on.
Breaks in the log[edit]
To insert a break in the launch log table, insert a cell with colspan of 6, followed by whatever content needs to be placed in the break, and then a new row symbol:
|colspan=6|
<!--content here-->
|-
End of the log[edit]
At the end of the launch log, place the end table symbol:
|}
