Template:INS
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
[edit]{{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.
Examples
[edit]| Template usage | Equivalent wikicode | Final result |
|---|---|---|
{{INS|Mahé|M 83}}
|
[[INS Mahé (M 83)|INS ''Mahé'' (M 83)]]
|
INS Mahé (M 83) |
{{INS|Mahé|1983}}
|
[[INS Mahé (1983)|INS ''Mahé'' (1983)]]
|
INS Mahé (1983) |
{{INS|Mahé}}
|
[[INS Mahé|INS ''Mahé'']]
|
INS Mahé |
Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page
Usage
[edit]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
[edit]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
[edit]- Then the template by default adds the formatted label:
[[targetpage|label]]→{{HMS|Illustrious|R06}}→[[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'' (R06)]], showing as:- HMS Illustrious (R06).
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'']]→- Illustrious
The options are:
| Value | Will show | Example | Wikilink [[targetpage|label]] | Shows |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (default) | PREFIX name (ID) | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'' (R06)]] | HMS Illustrious (R06) |
| 1 | ID | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|1}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|R06]] | R06 |
| 2 | name | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|2}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|''Illustrious'']] | Illustrious |
| 3 | name (ID) | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|3}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|''Illustrious'' (R06)]] | Illustrious (R06) |
| 4 | invalid | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|4}} | — | Error: {{HMS}} invalid control parameter: 4 (help) |
| 5 | PREFIX ID | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|5}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''R06'']] | HMS R06 |
| 6 | PREFIX name | {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|6}} | [[HMS Illustrious (R06)|HMS ''Illustrious'']] | HMS Illustrious |
- Note: options default (=blank), 2 and 6 are mostly used.
