Template:Class

Purpose

To avoid having to enter the following code to achieve the proper link and italics:

Code: [[CCS-class Battlecruiser|''CCS''-class Battlecruiser]]

Result: CCS-class Battlecruiser

Usage

Most cases we want to provide a direct link to the article with the minimum of fuss.

Code: {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}}

Result: CCS-class Battlecruiser

Sometimes, we don't want to use the ship's type as the follow on text.

Code: {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser|ship}}

Result: CCS-class ship

If we want to leave out the follow-on text altogether, we make the third parameter an empty space. Note that the third parameter's space is not included in the output.

Code: {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser| }} and the text that comes after.

Result: CCS-class and the text that comes after.

If you don't have the space, the following happens:

Code: {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser|}} and the text that comes after.

Result: CCS-class and the text that comes after.
