Template:Infobox Ship Characteristics/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is part of the 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 is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox Ship Characteristics (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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.

The "Full" code contains every field the template supports. If you want, you can copy one of the the simplified sets of code and add a few fields from the "Full" code.

If you have ideas for improvements or would like to add brand new fields to these templates, please post on Template talk:Infobox Ship Begin/doc to discuss the changes and how they should be implemented.
