Template:Infobox ship

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

This template accepts these named parameters. Positional parameters are not accepted. The positional parameters are:

• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|sectionn= – the value assigned to these enumerated parameters is a child infobox, typically one of:
  • {{infobox ship/image}}
  • {{infobox ship/career}}
  • {{infobox ship/characteristics}}
  • {{infobox ship/class_overview}}
  • {{infobox ship/service record}}
  • other infoboxen that can be configured as child infoboxen; {{Infobox NRHP}} with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|embed=yes

  see each template's documentation for parameters supported by those templates

• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|labeln= – the values assigned to these enumerated parameters are labels for custom infobox entries; n for <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|labeln= and <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|datan= must match
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|datan= – the values assigned to these enumerated parameters are the data for custom infobox entries; n for <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|datan= and <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|labeln= must match
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|display_title= – controls display styling of the article title
  • none – does no article-title styling
  • ital – uses {{italic title}} to style the article title
  • <article title with markup> – uses {{DISPLAYTITLE:<article title with markup>}} to style the article title
  • when empty or omitted, attempts to automatically style the article title
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|infobox_caption= – controls the infobox caption
  • yes – uses the article title as the infobox caption. The ship's name will be auto-italicized when the article title has a recognized ship prefix (USS, MV, etc) or has a parenthetical disambiguator (year, hull number, etc) or is in the form <nationality> <ship type> <name> (with or without parenthetical disambiguator); this setting overridden by <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|sclass=2
  • nodab – formats the infobox caption in the same way as the disambiguated article title except that disambiguator(s) are not displayed; for article titles with a parenthetical disambiguator, the disambiguator is omitted from the caption; for article titles in the form <nationality> <ship type> <name> (with or without parenthetical disambiguator), setting <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|infobox_caption=nodab will display only <name>; this setting overridden by <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|sclass=2
  • <other text> – when the assigned value is other than the keywords yes or nodab, that value is used as the infobox caption. Infobox caption text formatting is the responsibility of the editor.
  • when omitted or present-but-empty: the infobox does not have a caption
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|sclass= – when set to 2, forces unstyled title and also unstyled infobox caption (if enabled by <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|infobox_caption=yes or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|infobox_caption=nodab); the name is taken from {{sclass2}} which creates links to theme-named-class_articles
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|showerrs= – for use when auto-styling fails, may give a clue why it failed; requires <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|infobox_caption=yes or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|infobox_caption=nodab; the article should probably not be saved with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|showerrs=yes
