This template is used to include a link to the astronomical database SIMBAD. It should be called as {{SIMBAD link|id=''id''|label=''label''}}
, where id is the designation to be used in the SIMBAD URL and label is the designation as it should appear on the page. For example:
{{SIMBAD link|id=LHS+245|label=LHS 245}}
produces LHS 245.
The template can also be used without keyword parameters by placing id first and label second. For example:
{{SIMBAD link|HD+69830|HD 69830}}
produces HD 69830.
