Template {{Ship}} creates a wikilink to its article and formats the visible name correctly. That is, it handles both parts of [[targetpage|label]]. Now it is up to the editor (you) to get this right: a bluelink to the article, and well-formatted ship's full name.

The ship's article may be titled: [[HMCS Kootenay (H75)]]HMCS Kootenay (H75). The three parts are called: prefix, name, ID (ID is WP:Disambiguation, or hull number, pennant number, launch year: to identify the ship when multiple ships have the same name).

Apart from the article title, in the visible label the name could be formatted. Like: [[HMCS Kootenay (H75)|HMCS ''Kootenay'']]HMCS Kootenay (note the italics, and the omission of the hull number – linked to the same article).

Basic usage

ਸੋਧੋ
{{ship|1-prefix|2-name|3-ID}} → [[1-prefix 2-name (3-ID)|1-prefix ''2-name'' (3-ID)]]1-prefix 2-name (3-ID)
1 prefix
like HMS, USS
2 name
ship's name
3 ID
Specifier like hull number, pennant number, or launch year. Also serves as the WP:Disambiguation term in article titles.

All parameters are optional. You only need to enter the parts that build the article title.

Examples
Template usage Resulting wikicode Link showing
{{ship|ARA|General Belgrano}} [[ARA General Belgrano|ARA ''General Belgrano'']] ARA General Belgrano

Format options parameter

ਸੋਧੋ

A fourth, unnamed parameter |4= allows setting which pieces of text are displayed in the wikilink. It sets the label in the link: [[targetpage|label]]

For example, the ship's article is entered as {{ship|HMCS|Kootenay|H75}}, by default showing as HMCS Kootenay (H75).

But in your article, the hull number (disambiguator) may not be needed to show. In that case, add |4=2, and the result is:

{{ship|HMCS|Kootenay|H75|2}} [[HMCS Kootenay (H75)|''Kootenay'']] Kootenay

The options are:

ਸੋਧੋ

By setting |wl=no, the same formatting is made but the ship's name is not linked:

HMCS Kootenay (H75) (regular, {{ship|HMCS|Kootenay|H75|4}})
HMCS Kootenay (H75) (no wikilink, setting {{ship|HMCS|Kootenay|H75|4|wl=no}})

Prefix in/out option

ਸੋਧੋ

Parameter |up=yes (for unlinked prefix) can be used to have an unlinked prefix:. When set to "yes", the template will display the prefix before (outside of) the wikilink.

Examples
  • {{ship|Japanese battleship|Yamato|up=yes}} → Japanese battleship Yamato

Using a format option:

  • {{ship|Japanese battleship|Yamato||2|up=yes}} → Japanese battleship Yamato
