Template:Infobox geologic timespan/doc

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).

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

Chronology Parameters
The following parameters produce results that display in the "Chronology" section of the infobox. (Note that "proposed_subdivision1" and "proposed_subdivision1_coined" are the first in a series of parameters that goes sequentially in name (proposed_subdivision2 and proposed_subdivision2_coined, etc). They are not listed to avoid redundancy.)

Etymology Parameters
The following parameters produce results that display in the "Etymology" section of the infobox. (Note that "synonym1" and "synonym1_coined" are the first in a series of parameters that goes sequentially in name (synonym2 and synonym2_coined, etc). They are not listed to avoid redundancy.)

Usage Information Parameters
The following parameters produce results that display in the "Usage Information" section of the infobox.

Definition Parameters
The following parameters produce results that display in the "Definition" section of the infobox.

Atmospheric and Climatic Data Parameters
The following parameters produce results that display in the "Atmospheric and Climatic Data" section of the infobox.
