Template:M/Y/doc

This template links to an unslashed target page [[ MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ]], but it shows the slash: "M/Y": M/Y Jairo Mora Sandoval

Usage

• To show "MY" (unslashed), use {{MY}}: MY Jairo Mora Sandoval

• When the target pagename has a "/" slash, use {{Ship}}:

Target: [[ S/Y Manitou ]]

Use: {{ship|S/Y|Manitou}} → S/Y Manitou

Usage

This is a typing short cut for linking to steamship articles named in the format "MY Shipname (year)", showing "M/Y". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[MY Shipname (ID)|M/Y ''Shipname'' (ID)]]. This template halves that to {{M/Y|Shipname|ID}}.

Formal Usage

• {{M/Y|Ship Name}}
• {{M/Y|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
{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval|}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|M/Y ''Jairo Mora Sandoval'' ()]]	M/Y Jairo Mora Sandoval
{{M/Y|Queen Victoria|ship}}	[[MY Queen Victoria (ship)|M/Y ''Queen Victoria'' (ship)]]	M/Y Queen Victoria  (ship)
{{M/Y|Princess of Norway}}	[[MY Princess of Norway|M/Y ''Princess of Norway'']]	M/Y Princess of Norway

Label format options

• To show "M/Y", use {{M/Y}}: M/Y Jairo Mora Sandoval
• To link to S/Y Manitou, use {{Ship|S/Y|Manitou}}

By default, the wikilink is build like this:

• {{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval|}}, the targetpage is

[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval]].

Then the template by default adds the formatted label:

[[targetpage|label]]

[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|M/Y ''Jairo Mora Sandoval'' ()]], showing as:

M/Y Jairo Mora Sandoval .

The default label can be changed with a simple parameter. The extra third position, unnamed parameter allows setting which elements of the ship's full name are shown in the wikilink. 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:

• {{MY|Jairo Mora Sandoval||2}} →

[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|''Jairo Mora Sandoval'']] →

Jairo Mora Sandoval

The options are:

Value	Will show	Example	Wikilink [[targetpage|label]]	Shows
(default)	PREFIX name (ID)	{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval|}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|M/Y ''Jairo Mora Sandoval'' ()]]	M/Y Jairo Mora Sandoval
1	ID	{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval||1}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|'''']]
2	name	{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval||2}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|''Jairo Mora Sandoval'']]	Jairo Mora Sandoval
3	name (ID)	{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval||3}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|''Jairo Mora Sandoval'' ()]]	Jairo Mora Sandoval
4 (dflt)	PREFIX name (ID)	{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval||4}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|M/Y ''Jairo Mora Sandoval'' ()]]	M/Y Jairo Mora Sandoval
5	PREFIX ID	{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval||5}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|M/Y '''']]	M/Y
6	PREFIX name	{{M/Y|Jairo Mora Sandoval||6}}	[[MY Jairo Mora Sandoval ()|M/Y ''Jairo Mora Sandoval'']]	M/Y Jairo Mora Sandoval

Note: options default (=blank), 2 and 6 are most often used.
