This template is intended to simplify the wikicode needed for properly italicizing a starship's name, such as:
[[USS Yamato|USS ''Yamato'']]
This template should not be used directly, much like {{RevShip}}, but rather be accessed via the template series.
The template series allows for up to three variables:
- Ship's name
- Disambiguation (if any)
- Textual postfix (if any)
{{USS|Shipname|Disambiguation|Postfix text}}
Usage[]
The simplest use is with the ship's name, such as:
{{USS|Yamato}}
Use of the single variable version should be avoided if a name has been given to more than one ship, unless the object is to direct the user to a disambiguation page. An example of this would be:
{{USS|Enterprise}}
To use a link to a disambiguating starship name, enter the disambiguation text as the second variable to the template:
{{USS|Exeter|NCC-1672}}
Please note that for ship names listed with a letter following, such as USS Enterprise-D, that letter that should given as the third variable which is postfixed to the name (unlike the typical third variable which is the entire text):
{{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}}
