Template:BAP
Usage
[edit]This is a typing short cut for linking to Peruvian Navy ship articles named in the format "BAP Montero (FM-53)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|BAP ''Montero'' (FM-53)]]. This template halves that to {{BAP|Montero|FM-53}}.
Formal Usage
[edit]{{BAP|Ship Name}}{{BAP|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.
Examples
[edit]| Template usage | Equivalent wikicode | Final result |
|---|---|---|
| {{BAP|Montero|FM-53}} | [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|BAP ''Montero'' (FM-53)]] | BAP Montero (FM-53) |
| {{BAP|Independencia|1865}} | [[BAP Independencia (1865)|BAP ''Independencia'' (1865)]] | BAP Independencia (1865) |
| {{BAP|Montero}} | [[BAP Montero|BAP ''Montero'']] | BAP Montero |
Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page
Optional display control parameter
[edit]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 BAP, 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 | {{BAP|Montero|FM-53}} | [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|BAP ''Montero'' (FM-53)]] | BAP Montero (FM-53) |
| 1 | 3rd | {{BAP|Montero|FM-53|1}} | [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|FM-53]] | FM-53 |
| 2 | 2nd | {{BAP|Montero|FM-53|2}} | [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|''Montero'']] | Montero |
| 3 | 2nd, 3rd | {{BAP|Montero|FM-53|3}} | [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|''Montero'' (FM-53)]] | Montero (FM-53) |
| 4 | invalid result | {{BAP|Montero|FM-53|4}} | — | Error: {{BAP}} invalid control parameter: 4 (help) |
| 5 | 1st, 3rd | {{BAP|Montero|FM-53|5}} | [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|BAP (FM-53)]] | BAP FM-53 |
| 6 | 1st, 2nd | {{BAP|Montero|FM-53|6}} | [[BAP Montero (FM-53)|BAP ''Montero'']] | BAP Montero |
| 2nd (no 3rd) |
{{BAP|Montero|3=2}} Alternate usage: >{{BAP|Montero||2}} |
[[BAP Montero|''Montero'']] | Montero |
N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the last Montero 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.
