Template:JDS

Usage

This is a typing short cut for linking to Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force ship articles named in the format "JDS Deep Six (AWOL-99)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[JDS Deep Six (AWOL-99)|JDS ''Deep Six'' (AWOL-99)]]. This template halves that to {{JDS|Deep Six|AWOL-99}}.

Formal usage

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

Example

Template usage	Equivalent wikicode	Final result
{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|JDS ''Wakaba'' (DE-261)]]	JDS Wakaba (DE-261)

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 BRP, 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	{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|JDS ''Wakaba'' (DE-261)]]	JDS Wakaba (DE-261)
1	3rd	{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261|1}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|DE-261]]	DE-261
2	2nd	{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261|2}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|''Wakaba'']]	Wakaba
3	2nd, 3rd	{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261|3}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|''Wakaba'' (DE-261)]]	Wakaba (DE-261)
4	invalid result	{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261|4}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|Invalid Optional Parameter]]	JDS Wakaba (DE-261)
5	1st, 3rd	{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261|5}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|JDS (DE-261)]]	JDS DE-261
6	1st, 2nd	{{JDS|Wakaba|DE-261|6}}	[[JDS Wakaba (DE-261)|JDS ''Wakaba'']]	JDS Wakaba
