Template:SV

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This is a typing short cut for linking to sailing vessel articles named in the format "SV Shipname (Year)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[SV Shipname (ID)|SV ''Shipname'' (ID)]]. This template halves that to {{MV|Shipname|ID}}.

Formal Usage

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

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 8's bit will add a slash ("/") in the prefix, the 4's bit will display SV, setting the 2's bit will display the ship name, and setting the 1's bit will display the ID.
