Template:CCGS/doc

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a typing short cut for linking to Canadian Coast Guard ship articles named in the format "CCGS Sir John Franklin (2017)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[CCGS Sir John Franklin (2017)|CCGS ''Sir John Franklin'' (2017)]]. This template halves that to {{CCGS|Sir John Franklin|2017}}.

Usage[edit source]

Formal usage[edit source]

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

Examples[edit source]

Template usage Equivalent wikicode Final result
{{CCGS|Simcoe|1909}} [[CCGS Simcoe (1909)|CCGS ''Simcoe'' (1909)]] CCGS Simcoe (1909)
{{CCGS|Sir John Franklin|2017}} [[CCGS Sir John Franklin (2017)|CCGS ''Sir John Franklin'' (2017)]] CCGS Sir John Franklin (2017)
{{CCGS|Sir John Franklin}} [[CCGS Sir John Franklin|CCGS ''Sir John Franklin'']] CCGS Sir John Franklin

Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page

Optional display control parameter[edit source]

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 CCGS, 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:

5 1st, 3rd {{CCGS|Simcoe|1909|5}} [[CCGS Simcoe (1909)|CCGS (1909)]] CCGS 1909
6 1st, 2nd {{CCGS|Simcoe|1909|6}} [[CCGS Simcoe (1909)|CCGS ''Simcoe'']] CCGS Simcoe
2nd
(no 3rd)
{{CCGS|Simcoe|3=2}}
Alternate usage:
{{CCGS|Simcoe||2}}
[[CCGS Simcoe|''Simcoe'']] Simcoe

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

Using an optional display control parameter value of 6 yields the same results as using {{warship}} to create the same link and text, but saving, coincidentally, 6 characters while editing.

{{CCGS|Simcoe|1909|6}} yields the same results as {{warship|CCGS|Simcoe|1909}}
