This is a typing short cut for linking to Indian Navy ship articles named in the format "INS Mahé (M-83)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[INS Mahé (M-83)|INS ''Mahé'' (M-83)]]. This template halves that to {{INS|Mahé|M-83}}.

Formal usage

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

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

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

ਸੋਧੋ

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

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

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'']]
ਫਰਮਾ:HMS

The options are:

Value Will show Example Wikilink [[targetpage|label]] Shows
(default) PREFIX name (ID) {{HMS|Illustrious|R06}} [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'' (R06)]] ਫਰਮਾ:HMS

2 name {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|2}} [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|''Illustrious'']] ਫਰਮਾ:HMS
3 name (ID) {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|3}} [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|''Illustrious'' (R06)]] ਫਰਮਾ:HMS
4 (dflt) PREFIX name (ID) {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|4}} [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'' (R06)]] ਫਰਮਾ:HMS
5 PREFIX ID {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|5}} [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''R06'']] ਫਰਮਾ:HMS
6 PREFIX name {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|6}} [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'']] ਫਰਮਾ:HMS
Note: options default (=blank), 2 and 6 are mostly used.
