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

Usage

  • 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

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:
