Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a typing short cut for linking to Estonian Navy ship articles named in the format "EML Admiral Pitka (A230)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[EML Admiral Pitka (A230)|EML ''Admiral Pitka'' (A230)]]. This template halves that to {{EML|Admiral Pitka|A230}}.

Usage

Formal usage

  • {{EML|Ship Name}}
  • {{EML|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.

Examples

Template usage Equivalent wikicode Final result
{{EML|Wambola|A433}} [[EML Wambola (A433)|EML ''Wambola'' (A433)]] EML Wambola (A433)
{{EML|Kalev|1937}} [[EML Kalev (1937)|EML ''Kalev'' (1937)]] EML Kalev (1937)
{{EML|Kalev}} [[EML Kalev|EML ''Kalev'']] EML Kalev

Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page

Optional display control parameter

There is an optional third parameter that controls which pieces of text are displayed in the article. Its value is treated as a binary number and will display the corresponding "bits". So setting the 4's bit will display EML, setting the 2's bit will display the ship name, and setting the 1's bit will display the ID. If binary math isn't your thing, refer to these examples:

2nd
(no 3rd)
{{EML|Lembit|3=2}}
Alternate usage:
{{EML|Lembit||2}}
[[EML Lembit|''Lembit'']] Lembit

N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the last Wambola example above, the "|3=2" means set the third parameter to a value of two, while the alternate syntax shows using a pair of pipes, "||2", to position the value two in the third parameter position.

Using an optional display control parameter value of 6 yields the same results as using {{warship}} to create the same link and text, but saving, coincidentally, 6 characters while editing.

{{EML|Wambola|A433|6}} yields the same results as {{warship|EML|Wambola|A433}}
