Purpose
To show gross register tonnage in a consistent manner that is compliant with WP:MOSNUM. In particular it:
- capitalization and spelling are standardized (i.e. GRT, Grt, grt, G.R.T., g.r.t. and so forth),
- the link to the definition is standardized,
- spells out "XXX gross register tons" and introduces the abbreviation GRT on the first use in an article,
- links to Gross Register Tonnage on the first use in an article,
- uses the abbreviation GRT on subsequent uses in the article, and
- inserts a between the number and the unit.
Usage
{{GRT|number|first=yes}}
Specify first=yes to create a verbose description suitable for the first occurrence on a page.
Specify first=short to create a linked GRT suitable for tables or infoboxes.
Examples
| Input | Displays as |
| {{GRT|36,000|first=yes}} | 36,000 GRT |
| {{GRT|36,000|first=short}} | 36,000 GRT |
| {{GRT|36,000}} | 36,000 GRT |
