Usage

{{Infobox galaxy | name = | image = | caption = | credit = | epoch = | pronounce = {{IPA-en|<!-- IPA string -->|}} | constellation name = | ra = {{RA|00|00|00}} | dec = {{DEC|±00|00|00}} | z = | h_radial_v = | gal_v = | dist_ly = {{convert|000|+/-|00|kly|kpc|abbr=on|lk=on}}{{hub|0.73}} | group_cluster = | type = | mass = <!-- In solar masses --> {{Val|0|e=0}} | mass_light_ratio = <!-- In solar units --> | stars = | appmag_v = | absmag_v = | size_v = | notes = | names = | references = }}

Notes:

• The redshift parameter (z) can either list the radial velocity of the galaxy in units of km/s, or the dimensionless quantity z. The former is used when the value of z has a very small value, such as less than 0.1.
• The dist_ly field can list the distance in both light years and parsecs by using the {{Convert}} template. For example:
    {{convert|2810|+/-|90|kly|kpc|abbr=on|lk=on}}
  gives: 2,810 ± 90 kly (862 ± 28 kpc)
