Skabelon:SMS

Skabelondokumentation[vis] [redigér] [historik] [opfrisk]

Usage

This is a typing short cut for linking to Imperial German Navy or Austro-Hungarian Navy ship articles named in the format "SMS Germania (1899)". Since Ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[SMS Germania (1899)|SMS ''Germania'' (1899)]]. This template halves that to {{SMS|Germania|1899}}.

Formal Usage

{{SMS|Ship Name}}
{{SMS|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
`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912)\|SMS ''Novara'' (1912)]]`	SMS Novara (1912)
`{{SMS\|Sankt Georg}}`	`[[SMS Sankt Georg\|SMS ''Sankt Georg'']]`	SMS Sankt Georg

Last example could be used to link to a 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. It's value is treated as a binary number and will display the corresponding "bits". So setting the 4's bit will display SMS, 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	`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912) \|SMS ''Novara'' (1912)]]`	SMS Novara (1912)
1	3rd	`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912\|1}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912) \|1912]]`	1912
2	2nd	`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912\|2}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912) \|''Novara'']]`	Novara
3	2nd, 3rd	`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912\|3}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912) \|''Novara'' (1912)]]`	Novara (1912)
4	invalid result	`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912\|4}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912) \|Invalid Optional Parameter]]`	Invalid Optional Parameter
5	1st, 3rd	`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912\|5}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912) \|SMS (1912)]]`	SMS (1912)
6	1st, 2nd	`{{SMS\|Novara\|1912\|6}}`	`[[SMS Novara (1912) \|SMS ''Novara'']]`	SMS Novara
	2nd (no 3rd)	`{{SMS\|Sankt Georg\|3=2}}` Alternate usage: `{{SMS\|Sankt Georg\|\|2}}`	`[[SMS Sankt Georg \|''Sankt Georg'']]`	Sankt Georg

N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the Sankt Georg 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.

 {{SMS|Novara|1912|6}} yields the same results as {{warship|SMS|Novara|1912}}

Optional submarine prefix parameter

Submarines or U-boats in the German Imperial Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy were prefixed with SM rather than SMS. Using an optional sub parameter allows the proper link generation for U-boat articles. The sub parameter also works in conjunction with the optional display parameters listed above.

Template usage	Equivalent wikicode	Final result
`{{SMS\|U-90\|sub=y}}`	`[[SM U-90\|SM ''U-90'']]`	SMS U-90
`{{SMS\|U-4\|Austria-Hungary\|sub=y}}`	`[[SM U-4 (Austria-Hungary)\|SM ''U-4'' (Austria-Hungary)]]`	SMS U-4 (Austria-Hungary)
`{{SMS\|U-4\|Austria-Hungary\|6\|sub=y}}`	`[[SM U-4 (Austria-Hungary)\|SM ''U-4'']]`	SMS U-4
