Template:EML
This is a typing short cut for linking to Estonian Navy ship articles named in the format "EML Admiral Pitka (A230)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[EML Admiral Pitka (A230)|EML ''Admiral Pitka'' (A230)]]. This template halves that to {{EML|Admiral Pitka|A230}}.
Usage[edit]
Formal usage[edit]
{{EML|Ship Name}}{{EML|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.
Examples[edit]
| Template usage | Equivalent wikicode | Final result |
|---|---|---|
| {{EML|Wambola|A433}} | [[EML Wambola (A433)|EML ''Wambola'' (A433)]] | EML Wambola (A433) |
| {{EML|Kalev|1937}} | [[EML Kalev (1937)|EML ''Kalev'' (1937)]] | EML Kalev (1937) |
| {{EML|Kalev}} | [[EML Kalev|EML ''Kalev'']] | EML Kalev |
Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page
Optional display control parameter[edit]
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 EML, 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 | {{EML|Wambola|A433}} | [[EML Wambola (A433)|EML ''Wambola'' (A433)]] | EML Wambola (A433) |
| 1 | 3rd | {{EML|Wambola|A433|1}} | [[EML Wambola (A433)|A433]] | A433 |
| 2 | 2nd | {{EML|Wambola|A433|2}} | [[EML Wambola (A433)|''Wambola'']] | Wambola |
| 3 | 2nd, 3rd | {{EML|Wambola|A433|3}} | [[EML Wambola (A433)|''Wambola'' (A433)]] | Wambola (A433) |
| 4 | invalid result | {{EML|Wambola|A433|4}} | — | Error: {{EML}} invalid control parameter: 4 (help) |
| 5 | 1st, 3rd | {{EML|Wambola|A433|5}} | [[EML Wambola (A433)|EML (A433)]] | EML A433 |
| 6 | 1st, 2nd | {{EML|Wambola|A433|6}} | [[EML Wambola (A433)|EML ''Wambola'']] | EML Wambola |
| 2nd (no 3rd) |
{{EML|Lembit|3=2}} Alternate usage: {{EML|Lembit||2}} |
[[EML Lembit|''Lembit'']] | Lembit |
N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the last Wambola 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.
