Unlike the other [[Template:Starbox_begin|Starbox templates]], this template is stand-alone. It should be used as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Starbox short
| name     = <!--Star name-->
| constell = <!--Constellation name-->
| ra       = <!--Right ascension – use {{RA| hh| mm| ss.dddd}} or {{Deg2HMS| ddd.ddd| sup=yes}}-->
| dec      = <!--Declination – use {{DEC| +–dd| mm| ss.ddd}}-->
| appmag_v = <!--Apparent magnitude (Johnson-Cousins V system)-->
| absmag_v = <!--Absolute magnitude (Johnson-Cousins V system)-->
| dist_ly  = <!--Distance (in light-years, with error: see {{val}})-->
| dist_pc  = <!--Distance (in parsecs, with error)--->
| class    = <!--Stellar class(es, separated by '+')-->
| names    = <!--Other catalog designations – no line breaks-->
| Simbad   = <!--Search string for link to SIMBAD-->
| ARICNS   = <!--Search string for link to ARICNS-->
| NSTED    = <!--Search string for link to NStED-->
| EPE      = <!--Search string for link to Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia-->
}}</syntaxhighlight>

This uses the default [[epoch (astronomy)|epoch]] of [[J2000.0]] and [[equinox (celestial coordinates)|equinox]] of [[J2000.0]] ([[International Celestial Reference System|ICRS]].)  This can be overridden by using the following syntax:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Starbox short
| name     = <!--Star name-->
| epoch    = <!--Epoch of observation-->
| equinox  = <!--Equinox of coordinates (defaults to epoch)-->
| constell = <!--Constellation name-->
| ra       = <!--Right ascension – use {{RA|hh|mm|ss.dddd}} or {{Deg2HMS|ddd.ddd|sup=yes}}-->
| dec      = <!--Declination – use {{DEC|+–dd|mm|ss.ddd}}-->
| appmag_v = <!--Apparent magnitude (Johnson-Cousins V system)-->
| absmag_v = <!--Absolute magnitude (Johnson-Cousins V system)-->
| dist_ly  = <!--Distance (in light-years, with error)-->
| dist_pc  = <!--Distance (in parsecs, with error)--->
| class    = <!--Stellar class(es, separated by '+')-->
| names    = <!--Other catalog designations-->
| Simbad   = <!--Search string for link to SIMBAD-->
| ARICNS   = <!--Search string for link to ARICNS-->
| NSTED    = <!--Search string for link to NStED-->
| EPE      = <!--Search string for link to Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia-->
}}</syntaxhighlight>

The line ''absmag_v'' can be omitted if the absolute magnitude is not known; the absolute magnitude will then be omitted from the infobox. Similarly, the lines ''dist_ly'' and ''dist_pc'' can be omitted if the distance is not known, ''class'' can be omitted if the spectral type is not known, ''appmag_v'' can be omitted if the apparent magnitude is not known, ''names'' can be omitted if there are no other designations or it is not desired to list other designations, and ''Simbad'',  ''ARICNS'', ''NSTED'', and ''EPE'' can be omitted if links to [[SIMBAD]], [[ARICNS]], [[NStED]], and [[Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia]] are not desired.  If the line ''equinox'' is omitted, the equinox will be taken to be the same as the epoch.

There is an [http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/iau-spec.htx IAU standard] for the format of catalog designations.
