From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template is part of the new WikiProject Ships ship infobox. It adds a Characteristics section to the infobox. Each section, except Infobox Ship Begin, can be repeated as necessary to support multiple careers, multiple sets of characteristics, etc. The header of the Characteristics box can be hidden by setting its "Hide header=yes". This allows you to repeat certain fields by adding a second Characteristics box with a hidden header. Also, additional text can be added to the Characteristics box with "Header caption=". If you have any questions or comments, please ask User:TomTheHand.
This ship infobox supports a very large number of fields, including some specialty fields that will rarely be used. Some fields simply don't make sense in some cases. Some different sets of code have been prepared using only the most common fields. Select the most appropriate set below and copy and paste the entire code to the top of a ship article, then fill in as many fields as possible. Empty fields should generally be kept so that a future editor can fill them in unless they make no sense for the ship in question.
Generally, the "Simplified" code will work for most warships. Specialized code is available for some other situations. The "Full" code contains every field the template supports. If you want, you can copy the "Simplified" code and add a few fields from the "Full" code. If you develop your own set of fields, please add them to Template:Infobox Ship Example so that other people can use them.
