Usage
ਸੋਧੋThis 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
ਸੋਧੋBy 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 |
| 1 | ID | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|1}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|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 |
