Template:HTMS
Usage[change source]
This is a typing short cut for linking to Royal Thai Navy ship articles named in the format "HTMS Chakri Naruebet (CV 911)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[HTMS Chakri Naruebet (CV 911)|HTMS ''Chakri Naruebet'' (CV 911)]]. This template halves that to {{HTMS|Chakri Naruebet|CV 911}}.
Formal Usage[change source]
{{HTMS|Ship Name}}{{HTMS|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.

Optional display control parameter[change source]
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 HTMS, 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 | {{HTMS|Chakri Naruebet|CV 911}}

|
[[HTMS Chakri Naruebet|''Chakri Naruebet'']]
|
Chakri Naruebet |
N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the last Chakri Naruebet 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.
Using an optional display control parameter value of 6 yields the same results as using {{warship}} to create the same link and text, but saving, coincidentally, 6 characters while editing.
{{HTMS|Chakri Naruebet|CV 911|6}}yields the same results as{{warship|HTMS|Chakri Naruebet|CV 911}}
