Basic usage
This template uses information from the NASA Solar Eclipse Database when invoked using the following syntax <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="font-size:95%; overflow:auto;">
| For instructions on use, see Template:Infobox Solar eclipse | |
|---|---|
| Type of eclipse | |
| Maximum eclipse | |

Here, YYYY is the year, Mon is the three letter abbreviation for the month, and DD is the two digit abbreviation for the day. For example, 2015Mar20 for March 20, 2015.
Images etc..
A given value of YYYYMonDD automatically displays information from a matching date in one of the data pages at Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Solar eclipse/db. Module:Solar eclipse/db/200 is for 2001–2050. Other template parameters including image may be ignored with no way to override the data page.

Microformat
The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. Within the hCalendar is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Dates will only be included if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates, but do not use any of these if the date is before 1583 CE). {{End date}} requires that a time be specified, but display of this time may be suppressed by adding |nodate=yes to the end.
To include a URL, use {{URL}}.
hCalendar uses HTML classes including:
- attendee
- dtend
- dtstart
- location
- summary
- url
- vevent
Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
- geo
- latitude
- longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Also, when giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
