Usage

This is a typing short cut for linking to Irish Navy ship articles named in the format "LÉ Emer (P21)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[LÉ Emer (P21)|LÉ ''Emer'' (P21)]]. This template halves that to {{LÉ|Emer|P21}}.

Formal usage

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

Examples

Template usage Equivalent wikicode Final result
{{LÉ|Emer|P21}} [[LÉ Emer (P21)|LÉ ''Emer'' (P21)]] LÉ Emer (P21)
{{LÉ|Emer}} [[LÉ Emer|LÉ ''Emer'']] LÉ Emer

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