Template:R/V

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

This template links to an unslashed target page [[ RV Vityaz (1939) ]], but it shows the slash: "R/V": R/V Vityaz (1939)

Usage[edit source]

  • When the target pagename has a "/" slash, use {{Ship}}:
Target: [[ S/Y Manitou ]]
Use: {{ship|S/Y|Manitou}}S/Y Manitou

Usage[edit source]

This is a typing short cut for linking to steamship articles named in the format "RV Shipname (year)", showing "R/V". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[RV Shipname (ID)|R/V ''Shipname'' (ID)]]. This template halves that to {{R/V|Shipname|ID}}.

Formal Usage[edit source]

  • {{R/V|Ship Name}}
  • {{R/V|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
{{R/V|Vityaz|1939}} [[RV Vityaz (1939)|R/V ''Vityaz'' (1939)]] R/V Vityaz (1939)
{{R/V|Queen Victoria|ship}} [[RV Queen Victoria (ship)|R/V ''Queen Victoria'' (ship)]] R/V Queen Victoria (ship)
{{R/V|Princess of Norway}} [[RV Princess of Norway|R/V ''Princess of Norway'']] R/V Princess of Norway

Label format options[edit source]

By default, the wikilink is build like this:

  • {{R/V|Vityaz|1939}}, the targetpage is
[[RV Vityaz (1939)]].
Then the template by default adds the formatted label:
[[targetpage|label]]
[[RV Vityaz (1939)|R/V ''Vityaz'' (1939)]], showing as:
R/V Vityaz (1939).

The default label can be changed with a simple parameter. The extra third position, unnamed parameter allows setting which elements of the ship's full name are shown in the wikilink. It sets the label in the link: For example, in your article, the hull number (disambiguator) may not be needed to show. In that case, add option |2, and the result is:

  • {{RV|Vityaz|1939|2}}
[[RV Vityaz (1939)|''Vityaz'']]
Vityaz

The options are:
