Parameters

Bold fields are mandatory.

Field	Description
Name	Official name of the meteorite without any abbreviation; for the avoidance of doubt see [1]. Examples: Willamette or not Willamette Meteorite, or Sayh al Uhaymir 001 not SAU 001. The article is automatically placed into [[تصنيف:Meteorites by name|<name>]].
Alternative names	Comma separated list of alternative names.
Image	Image name without File: or other wikitext e.g. Willamette Meteorite AMNH.jpg. If there is no image the article is automatically placed into Category:Wikipedia infobox meteorite articles without images.
Image_caption	Most captions draw attention to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Captions.
Image_alt_text	Description of the image for visually impaired readers. See Wikipedia:Alternative text for images.
Type	Choose from the first column of Table 1 below so that the template can automatically place the article into the appropriate category e.g. [[تصنيف:<Type> meteorites]]
Class	Choose from the middle column of Table 1 below.
Clan	A clan name from a referenced source.
Group	Likely to be in the last column of Table 1 below.

Table 1

Type	Class	Group
Chondrite	[[Carbonaceous chondrite]]	CI, CV, CM, CR, CH, CB, CK, CO, C ungrouped
	[[Ordinary chondrite]]	H3, H4, H5, L3, LL6, etc...
	[[Enstatite chondrite]]	EH, EL
	[[Rumuruti chondrite]]
	[[Kakangari chondrite]]
Achondrite	[[Primitive achondrite]]	Acapulcoite, Lodranite, Winonaite
	[[Asteroidal achondrite]]	[[Howardite]], [[Eucrite]], [[Diogenite]], [[Aubrite]], [[Angrite]], [[Ureilite]], Brachinite
	[[Lunar meteorite]]	Mare basalts, Impact breccia
	[[Martian meteorite]]	[[Shergottite]], [[Nakhlite]], [[Chassignite]], OPX
Iron	Nonmagmatic	IAB, IIE, Udei Station grouplet, Pitts grouplet, sLL, sLM, sLH, sHL, sHH
	Magmatic	IC, IIAB, IIC, IID, IIF, IIG, IIIAB, IIIE, IIIF, IVA, IVB
Stony-iron	[[Pallasite]]	Main group, Eagle Station grouplet, Pyroxene grouplet
	[[Mesosiderite]]

Field	Description
Structural_classification	Only for irons and, if applicable, stony-irons. Choose from: [[Hexahedrite]] [[Coarsest octahedrite]] [[Coarse octahedrite]] [[Medium octahedrite]] [[Fine octahedrite]] [[Finest octahedrite]] [[Plessitic octahedrite]] [[Ataxite]].
Parent_body	Best referenced guess or Unknown.
Composition	Chemical (irons) or mineral (stony) composition (e.g. 93% Fe, 5.9% Ni, 0.42% Co, 0.46% P)
Shock	For example, S4, see Meteorite shock stage.
Weathering	For example, W1, see meteorite weathering.
Country	For example, United States or Sweden.
Region	For example, Oregon or Uppsala.
Lat_Long	Coordinates using this format [https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8:Infobox_meteorite&params=46_09_N_134_39_E_ 46°09′N 134°39′E]; if omitted, the article is placed in Category:Wikipedia infobox meteorite articles without coordinates.
Observed_fall	Yes or No; if "Yes", automatically places the article into Category:Meteorite falls.
Fall_date	Date of the observed fall in YYYY-MM-DD format to the level of detail known (e.g. 1947-02-12) or estimated date (e.g. 20,000 years ago).
Found_date	Date of find in YYYY-MM-DD format to the level of detail known.
TKW	The total known weight in both metric and imperial units using {{convert}} e.g. {{convert|300|kg}}
Strewn field	Yes or No. Yes means that the strewn field is documented (in the literature). Falls often have one but not all do. Finds often don't. If set to "Yes" the article is automatically placed into Category:Strewn field (meteorite)
Image2	a second image showing additional details (e.g. chondrules or Widmanstätten pattern, see for example Gibeon (meteorite))
Image2_caption	short description of the second image (e.g. Widmanstätten pattern)
Image2_alt_text	Description of the image for visually impaired readers. See Wikipedia:Alternative text for images.
