Template:S/S/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:S/S. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This subpage Template:S/S is not related to parent page Template:S. It is located here for technical reasons (having a "/" slash in its title). See parent template {{Ship}} (talk). |
This template links to an unslashed target page [[ SS City of Los Angeles (1922) ]], but it shows the slash: "S/S": S/S City of Los Angeles (1922)
Usage[edit source]
- To show "SS" (unslashed), use {{SS}}: SS City of Los Angeles (1922)
- 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 "SS Shipname (year)", showing "S/S". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[SS Shipname (ID)|S/S ''Shipname'' (ID)]]. This template halves that to {{S/S|Shipname|ID}}.
Formal Usage[edit source]
{{S/S|Ship Name}}{{S/S|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 |
|---|---|---|
| {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|S/S ''City of Los Angeles'' (1922)]] | S/S City of Los Angeles (1922) |
| {{S/S|Queen Victoria|ship}} | [[SS Queen Victoria (ship)|S/S ''Queen Victoria'' (ship)]] | S/S Queen Victoria (ship) |
| {{S/S|Princess of Norway}} | [[SS Princess of Norway|S/S ''Princess of Norway'']] | S/S Princess of Norway |
Label format options[edit source]
- To show "S/S", use {{S/S}}: S/S City of Los Angeles (1922)
- To link to S/Y Manitou, use {{Ship|S/Y|Manitou}}
By default, the wikilink is build like this:
{{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922}}, the targetpage is
[[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)]].- Then the template by default adds the formatted label:
[[targetpage|label]][[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|S/S ''City of Los Angeles'' (1922)]], showing as:- S/S City of Los Angeles (1922).
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:
{{SS|City of Los Angeles|1922|2}}→
[[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|''City of Los Angeles'']]→- City of Los Angeles
The options are:
| Value | Will show | Example | Wikilink [[targetpage|label]] | Shows |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (default) | PREFIX name (ID) | {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|S/S ''City of Los Angeles'' (1922)]] | S/S City of Los Angeles (1922) |
| 1 | ID | {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922|1}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|''1922'']] | 1922 |
| 2 | name | {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922|2}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|''City of Los Angeles'']] | City of Los Angeles |
| 3 | name (ID) | {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922|3}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|''City of Los Angeles'' (1922)]] | City of Los Angeles (1922) |
| 4 (dflt) | PREFIX name (ID) | {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922|4}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|S/S ''City of Los Angeles'' (1922)]] | S/S City of Los Angeles (1922) |
| 5 | PREFIX ID | {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922|5}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|S/S ''1922'']] | S/S 1922 |
| 6 | PREFIX name | {{S/S|City of Los Angeles|1922|6}} | [[SS City of Los Angeles (1922)|S/S ''City of Los Angeles'']] | S/S City of Los Angeles |
