This template is part of a group of templates that are used to display information about a specific star. The list should always have {{Starbox begin}} as the first in the list, while the list should have {{Starbox end}} as the last in the list. This particular template can be used as follows. Each row in this Starbox is optional.

{{Starbox character
| engvar=en-UK <!-- for articles written in variants of English where "colour" is the correct spelling -->
| type = <!--Type of star (e.g., main sequence star, protostar, white dwarf, neutron star, etc.)-->
| class = <!--Stellar class-->
| appmag_1_passband = <!-- Passband for first apparent magnitude (e.g., H, J, K, etc.) -->
| appmag_1 = <!-- Value of first apparent magnitude  -->
| appmag_2_passband = <!-- Passband for second apparent magnitude (e.g., H, J, K, etc.) -->
| appmag_2 = <!-- Value of second apparent magnitude  -->
| appmag_3_passband = <!-- Passband for third apparent magnitude (e.g., H, J, K, etc.) -->
| appmag_3 = <!-- Value of third apparent magnitude  -->
| appmag_4_passband = <!-- Passband for fourth apparent magnitude (e.g., H, J, K, etc.) -->

Multiple components change

For multiple components, use

{{Starbox character
| component1 = Component 1
| type = Type 1
| class = Class 1
...
| component2 = Component 2
| type2 = Type 2
| class2 = Class 2
...
}}
{{Starbox character|no_heading=y
| component1 = Component 3
| type = Type 3
| class = Class 3
