Template:HMPNGS/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This is a typing short cut for linking to Papua New Guinean Navy ship articles named in the format "HMPNGS Rabaul (P01)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[HMPNGS Rabaul (P01)|HMPNGS ''Rabaul'' (P01)]]. This template halves that to {{HMPNGS|Rabaul|P01}}.

Formal Usage

[edit]
  • {{HMPNGS|Ship Name}}
  • {{HMPNGS|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
{{HMPNGS|Rabaul|P01}} [[HMPNGS Rabaul (P01)|HMPNGS ''Rabaul'' (P01)]] HMPNGS Rabaul (P01)
{{HMPNGS|Salamaua|L 131}} [[HMPNGS Salamaua (L 131)|HMPNGS ''Salamaua'' (L 131)]] HMPNGS Salamaua (L 131)
{{HMPNGS|Rabaul}} [[HMPNGS Rabaul|HMPNGS ''Rabaul'']] HMPNGS Rabaul

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 HMPNGS, 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:

(no 3rd)
{{HMPNGS|Rabaul|3=2}}
Alternate usage: >{{HMPNGS|Rabaul||2}}
[[HMPNGS Rabaul|''Rabaul'']] Rabaul

N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the last Rabaul 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.
