Template:M/V/doc

From blackwiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This template links to an unslashed target page [[Template:NnbspMV Aurora (2000)Template:Nnbsp]], but it shows the slash: "M/V": Template:Ship/special

Usage

  • When the target pagename has a "/" slash, use {{Ship}}:
Target: [[Template:NnbspS/Y ManitouTemplate:Nnbsp]]
Use: {{ship|S/Y|Manitou}}S/Y Manitou

Usage

This is a typing short cut for linking to steamship articles named in the format "MV Shipname (year)", showing "M/V". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[MV Shipname (ID)|M/V ''Shipname'' (ID)]]. This template halves that to {{M/V|Shipname|ID}}.

Formal Usage

  • {{M/V|Ship Name}}
  • {{M/V|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
{{M/V|Aurora|2000}} [[MV Aurora (2000)|M/V ''Aurora'' (2000)]] Template:Ship/special
{{M/V|Queen Victoria|ship}} [[MV Queen Victoria (ship)|M/V ''Queen Victoria'' (ship)]] Template:Ship/special
{{M/V|Princess of Norway}} [[MV Princess of Norway|M/V ''Princess of Norway'']] Template:Ship/special

Label format options

By default, the wikilink is build like this:

  • {{M/V|Aurora|2000}}, the targetpage is
[[MV Aurora (2000)]].
Then the template by default adds the formatted label:
[[targetpage|label]]
[[MV Aurora (2000)|M/V ''Aurora'' (2000)]], showing as:
Template:Ship/special.

The default label can be changed with a simple parameter. The extra third position, unnamed parameter allows setting which elements of the ship's full name are shown in the wikilink. 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:

  • {{MV|Aurora|2000|2}}
[[MV Aurora (2000)|''Aurora'']]
Template:Ship/special

The options are:

(default) PREFIX name (ID) {{M/V|Aurora|2000}} [[MV Aurora (2000)|M/V ''Aurora'' (2000)]] Template:Ship/special
