Template:1701-prefix/doc

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Usage[edit source]

Returns the ship registery preffix, based on the date entered for the vessel hull registry number of 1701

The registry prefix is typically the abbreviation USS (derived from “United Star Ship”) but can vary depending on registration and service history of the vessel.

Setting up the prefix data[edit source]

Copy the sample code below:

{{Earth-date-range-variable| 5 May 2024 | 31 Dec 2450 |{{{1}}}| USS }}

...and paste it into this template before the <noinclude> tag.

The dates should be altered to define a specific range of time that the registry prefix (shown as "USS" in the above sample code) was in use.

Likewise the registry prefix "USS" itself can be changed for the customized time-range.

Additional entries (if needed) can be added using the same format with different dates, thereby building up to form a detailed ship registry history for the vessel. This allows all calls of this template using a target date to display the correct ship registry for hull number 1701 for a specific date or time period used in articles and tables throughout the wiki.

Note: Only one entry outlined above need be used if the same registry prefix was used throughout the history of hull registry number 1701.

Additional entries need only be added if the prefix changed at any point in the vessels service history.

Example[edit source]

Entering the following hull registry number and date:

{{1701-prefix | December 7, 2271 }}

Renders as:

USS
