Template:Sclass/core/doc

This template provides essential services to {{sclass}}, {{sclass2}}, {{sclass-}}, and {{sclass2-}}.

Usage

{{sclass}}, {{sclass2}}, {{sclass-}}, and {{sclass2-}} pass all of the parameters received from the article along with a format parameter to {{sclass/core}}. The format parameter, simply the name of the calling template, controls how {{sclass/core}} formats the output. Output format is described in the appropriate template documentation.

{{sclass|class name|ship type|format|ship-type disambiguator|class-name disambiguator|format=template name}}

the unnamed third parameter (format) should not be confused with the named parameter |format=. The unnamed third parameter controls how the various parts are assembled and linked. The named |format= parameter controls italics and hyphenation.

In article space the {{sclass}} template is written:

{{sclass|Haskell|attack transport|3}}

{{sclass}} makes a call to {{sclass/core}} that more-or-less amounts to this:

{{sclass/core|Haskell|attack transport|3|||format=sclass}}

The other templates in this family do the same except that the |format= parameter is different:

{{sclass}}: |format=sclass

{{sclass2}}: |format=sclass2

{{sclass-}}: |format=sclass-

{{sclass2-}}: |format=sclass2-
