Usage

This infobox template is used to generate an infobox on the right-hand side of articles pertaining to:
a) specific spans of geologic time accepted for general use (i.e Cambrian),
b) regionally used subdivisions of geologic time (i.e Arenig),
c) proposed subdivisions of geologic time (i.e Chaotian),
d) subdivisions of extraterrestrial geologic time (i.e Nectarian).

[Restrictive parameters (above)]
color = Cenozoic
top_bar = all time
time_start = 654
time_end = 321

The following parameters control the images, horizontal timeline bar, and title text at the top of the infobox template.

Header and Title Parameters
Parameter Function
name The text at the top of the template.
color Determines the color behind the title using Template:Period color. A valid period name string is required for this to work. For custom RGB values, see manual_set_color.
manual_color Sets the color behind the title with RGB values.
top_bar Determines the variety of horizontal timeline bar below the title text. Defaults to a horizontal Phanerozoic timeline when not invoked. Current accepted values are:

- mercury/mercurial (Mercurial geologic timeline)
- moon/lunar (Lunar geologic timeline)
- mars/martian (Martian geologic timeline)
- long fossil/long/all time (complete timeline of earth's history)
(NOTE: Upper/lower case does not matter for these values.)

earliest Adds a translucent green bar to the solid green bar of the horizontal timeline, extending to the earliest possible timeframe the time span could be considered as occupying.

It is recommended not to use this parameter unless there is ongoing dispute involving the time span's boundaries. See Template:Geological range for more information.

latest Adds a translucent green bar to the solid green bar of the horizontal timeline, extending to the latest possible timeframe the time span could be considered as occupying.

It is recommended not to use this parameter unless there is ongoing dispute involving the time span's boundaries. See Template:Geological range for more information.

top_bar_ref Inserts a reference into the text above the timeline bar.
time_start The time when the geologic time span starts, in millions of years.
time_start_prefix Used to add a ~ in front of the displayed numerical start time. Should not be used for other purposes.
time_start_uncertainty The level of uncertainty on the measurement of time span start time.
time_end The time when the geologic time span ends, in millions of years.
time_end_prefix Used to add a ~ in front of the displayed numerical end time. Should not be used for other purposes.
time_end_uncertainty The level of uncertainty on the measurement of time span end time.
top_bar_prefix Adds text before the "xxx Ma" text above the horizontal timeline. It is recommended not to use this parameter unless absolutely necessary. See Template:Geological range for more information.
top_bar_ps Adds text after the "xxx Ma" text above the horizontal timeline. It is recommended not to use this parameter unless absolutely necessary. See Template:Geological range for more information.
image_map Reconstruction of the Earth as it appeared during the geologic time span.
caption_map Caption for the above image.
image_outcrop Picture of a rock outcrop with rocks dating to the geologic time span.
caption_outcrop Caption for the above image.
image_art Reconstruction of a landscape/ecosystem as it may have appeared during the time span.
caption_art Caption for the above image.

Parameter Function
celestial_body The celestial body to which the time span applies. Some celestial objects will automatically link to their respective articles when entered (upper/lower case ignored). These are:

- Mercury
- Venus

timescales_used What timescales the time span is used in. (i.e North American, ICS)
used_by Specific countries/entities that use the time span officially.
(NOTE: Only use if a minority of countries/entities use the time span officially! Any officially ratified ICS time interval should NOT use this parameter.)
formerly_used_by Use only if the time span was once used in an official capacity by one country/entity, but has fallen out of favor.
not_used_by Specific countries/entities that do not use the time span officially.
(NOTE: Only use if a minority of countries/entities don't use the time span officially! Unlike the above "used_by" parameter, this can be used with officially ratified ICS time intervals, but only if applicable).
