ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:HMS/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:HMS It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು page. |
Usage
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]This is a typing short cut for linking to Royal Navy ship articles named in the format "HMS Gloucester (D96)". Since Ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[HMS Gloucester (D96)|HMS ''Gloucester'' (D96)]]. This template halves that to {{HMS|Gloucester|D96}}.
Formal usage
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]- {{HMS|Ship Name}}
- {{HMS|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.
Examples
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]| Template usage | Equivalent wikicode | Final result |
|---|---|---|
| {{HMS|Illustrious|R06}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'' (R06)]] | HMS Illustrious (R06) |
| {{HMS|Raisonnable|1768}} | [[HMS Raisonnable (1768)|HMS ''Raisonnable'' (1768)]] | HMS Raisonnable (1768) |
| {{HMS|Victory}} | [[HMS Victory|HMS ''Victory'']] | HMS Victory |
Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page
Optional display control parameter
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]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 "HMS", 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:
| Value | Parameter(s) displayed |
Example | Equivalent wikicode | Final result | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3rd | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|1}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|R06]] | R06 | |
| 2 | 2nd | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|2}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|''Illustrious'']] | Illustrious | |
| 3 | 2nd, 3rd | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|3}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|''Illustrious'' R06]] | Illustrious (R06) | |
| 4 | invalid result | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|4}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|Invalid Optional Parameter]] | Invalid Optional Parameter | |
| 5 | 1st, 3rd | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|5}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS R06]] | HMS (R06) | |
| 6 | 1st, 2nd | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|6}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'']] | HMS Illustrious | |
| 2nd (no 3rd) |
{{HMS|Victory|3=2}} | Alternate usage: {{HMS|Victory||2}} | [[HMS Victory|''Victory'']] | Victory | |
N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the Victory 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.
{{HMS|Illustrious|R06|6}} yields the same results as {{warship|HMS|Illustrious|R06}}
