Template:Class

Purpose

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

Code: {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}

Result: Ket-pattern battlecruiser

Usage

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

Code: {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}

Result: Ket-pattern 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 empty.

Code: {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser|}} and the text that comes after.

Result: Ket-pattern and the text that comes after.
