Template:Ship/doc/fixed prefix: label format options

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]
This section:

Basically, the template takes up to three parameters to write the target page, and to format the label shown. General setup is:

[[targetpage|label]]
[[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS Illustrious (R06)]].

Target page

[edit]

By default, the wikilink is build like this:

  • {{PREFIX|ship's name|ID}}.
With {{HMS|Illustrious|R06}}, the targetpage is
[[HMS Illustrious (R06)]].
Elements PREFIX and ID can be omitted (if they are not part of the targetpage title).

Formatted label

[edit]
Then the template by default adds the formatted label:
[[targetpage|label]]
{{HMS|Illustrious|R06}}
[[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'' (R06)]], showing as:
HMS Illustrious (R06).

The default label can be changed with a simple parameter. The extra third position, unnamed parameter allows setting which changes the elements of the ship's full name. It sets the label in the link: For example, in your article, the hull number (disambiguator) may not be needed to show. In that case, add option |2, and the result is:

  • {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|2}}
[[HMS Illustrious (R06)|''Illustrious'']]
Illustrious

The options are:
