Template:S/V

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template links to an unslashed target page [[ SV Argo (1841) ]], but it shows the slash: "S/V": S/V Argo  (1841)

Usage

• To show "SV" (unslashed), use {{SV}}: SV Argo (1841)

• 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 "SV Shipname (year)", showing "S/V". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[SV Shipname (ID)|S/V ''Shipname'' (ID)]]. This template halves that to {{S/V|Shipname|ID}}.

Formal Usage

• {{S/V|Ship Name}}
• {{S/V|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
{{S/V|Argo|1841}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|S/V ''Argo'' (1841)]]	S/V Argo  (1841)
{{S/V|Queen Victoria|ship}}	[[SV Queen Victoria (ship)|S/V ''Queen Victoria'' (ship)]]	S/V Queen Victoria  (ship)
{{S/V|Princess of Norway}}	[[SV Princess of Norway|S/V ''Princess of Norway'']]	S/V Princess of Norway

Label format options

• To show "S/V", use {{S/V}}: S/V Argo  (1841)
• To link to S/Y Manitou, use {{Ship|S/Y|Manitou}}

By default, the wikilink is build like this:

• {{S/V|Argo|1841}}, the targetpage is

[[SV Argo (1841)]].

Then the template by default adds the formatted label:

[[targetpage|label]]

[[SV Argo (1841)|S/V ''Argo'' (1841)]], showing as:

S/V Argo  (1841).

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:

• {{SV|Argo|1841|2}} →

[[SV Argo (1841)|''Argo'']] →

Argo

The options are:

Value	Will show	Example	Wikilink [[targetpage|label]]	Shows
(default)	PREFIX name (ID)	{{S/V|Argo|1841}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|S/V ''Argo'' (1841)]]	S/V Argo  (1841)
1	ID	{{S/V|Argo|1841|1}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|1841]]	1841
2	name	{{S/V|Argo|1841|2}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|''Argo'']]	Argo
3	name (ID)	{{S/V|Argo|1841|3}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|''Argo'' (1841)]]	Argo  (1841)
4 (dflt)	PREFIX name (ID)	{{S/V|Argo|1841|4}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|S/V ''Argo'' (1841)]]	S/V Argo  (1841)
5	PREFIX ID	{{S/V|Argo|1841|5}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|S/V ''1841'']]	S/V 1841
6	PREFIX name	{{S/V|Argo|1841|6}}	[[SV Argo (1841)|S/V ''Argo'']]	S/V Argo

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