{{Infobox star}} is an {{Infobox}}-based template designed to present a summary of important facts about a specified star. It is intended to be used at the top of an article about a star, but may also be used in a section about a star in an article about a broader or loosely related topic, if appropriate. Designed as a replacement for the {{Starbox begin}} series, it features an integrated star map and interchangeable sections that can be activated by simple cell parameters, with support for a summary of double and triple star systems. It is an intricate template that is made up of inputs for 25 parameters, with up to 24 additional parameters for expansion when summarising information about a two or three-star system. A <div> phrase is used to create the frameless location map that appears as the default lead image, and 37 {{#if:}} parser functions are used for the template's interchangeable sections.
