Template:HNLMS
 | This template is used on approximately 2,600 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This is a typing short cut for linking to Royal Netherlands Navy ship articles named in the format "HNLMS Deep Six (A000)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[HNLMS Deep Six (A000)|HNLMS ''Deep Six'' (A000)]]. This template halves that to {{HNLMS|Deep Six|A000}}.
Usage
Formal usage
{{HNLMS|Ship Name}}{{HNLMS|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.
Examples
| Template usage | Equivalent wikicode | Final result |
|---|---|---|
| {{HNLMS|De Zeven Provinciën|C802}} | [[HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën (C802)|HNLMS ''De Zeven Provinciën'' (C802)]] | HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën (C802) |
| {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|1935}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter (1935)|HNLMS ''De Ruyter'' (1935)]] | HNLMS De Ruyter (1935) |
| {{HNLMS|De Ruyter}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter|HNLMS ''De Ruyter'']] | HNLMS De Ruyter |
Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page
Optional display control parameter
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 HNLMS, 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:
| Value | Parameter(s) displayed |
Example | Equivalent wikicode | Final result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| None | all | {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|F804}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter (F804)|HNLMS ''De Ruyter'' (F804)]] | HNLMS De Ruyter (F804) |
| 1 | 3rd | {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|F804|1}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter (F804)|F804]] | F804 |
| 2 | 2nd | {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|F804|2}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter (F804)|''De Ruyter'']] | De Ruyter |
| 3 | 2nd, 3rd | {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|F804|3}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter (F804)|''De Ruyter'' (F804)]] | De Ruyter (F804) |
| 4 | invalid result | {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|F804|4}} | — | Error: {{HNLMS}} invalid control parameter: 4 (help) |
| 5 | 1st, 3rd | {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|F804|5}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter (F804)|HNLMS (F804)]] | HNLMS F804 |
| 6 | 1st, 2nd | {{HNLMS|De Ruyter|F804|6}} | [[HNLMS De Ruyter (F804)|HNLMS ''De Ruyter'']] | HNLMS De Ruyter |
| 2nd (no 3rd) |
{{HNLMS|De Ruyter|3=2}} Alternate usage: {{HNLMS|De Ruyter||2}} |
[[HNLMS De Ruyter|''De Ruyter'']] | De Ruyter |
N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the last De Ruyter 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.
