Template:BAE
Template documentationThis is a typing short cut for linking to Armada del Ecuador ship articles named in the format "BAE Moran Valverde (FM-02)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[BAE Moran Valverde (FM-02)|BAE ''Moran Valverde'' (FM-02)]]. This template halves that to {{BAE|Moran Valverde|FM-02}}.
Usage
Formal usage
{{BAE|Ship Name}}{{BAE|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 |
|---|---|---|
| {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|BAE ''Guayas'' (BE-21)]] | BAE Guayas (BE-21) |
| {{BAE|Huacolpo|TR-61}} | [[BAE Huacolpo (TR-61)|BAE ''Huacolpo'' (TR-61)]] | BAE Huacolpo (TR-61) |
| {{BAE|Huacolpo}} | [[BAE Huacolpo|BAE ''Huacolpo'']] | BAE Huacolpo |
Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page
Optional display control parameter
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 BAE, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| None | all | {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|BAE ''Guayas'' (BE-21)]] | BAE Guayas (BE-21) |
| 1 | 3rd | {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21|1}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|BE-21]] | BE-21 |
| 2 | 2nd | {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21|2}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|''Guayas'']] | Guayas |
| 3 | 2nd, 3rd | {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21|3}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|''Guayas'' (BE-21)]] | Guayas (BE-21) |
| 4 | invalid result | {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21|4}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|Invalid Optional Parameter]] | BAE Guayas (BE-21) |
| 5 | 1st, 3rd | {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21|5}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|BAE (BE-21)]] | BAE BE-21 |
| 6 | 1st, 2nd | {{BAE|Guayas|BE-21|6}} | [[BAE Guayas (BE-21)|BAE ''Guayas'']] | BAE Guayas |
| 2nd (no 3rd) |
{{BAE|Presidente Eloy Alfaro|3=2}} Alternate usage: {{BAE|Presidente Eloy Alfaro||2}} |
[[BAE Presidente Eloy Alfaro|''Huacolpo'']] | Presidente Eloy Alfaro |
N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the last Guayas 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.
{{BAE|Guayas|BE-21|6}} yields the same results as {{warship|BAE|Guayas|BE-21}}
