Ship class link template usage

sclass2 is an editor's shortcut for creating properly formatted links to ship class articles that follow the standard naming format of Class name class ship type. If you are tired of typing [[Flower class corvette | Flower-class]] [[corvette]] or similar, this is for you. The previous is replaced by {{sclass2 | Flower | corvette}}, that's it.

The most basic form is:

{{sclass2 | Class name | ship type  }}

This form assumes that Ship type is its own separate article so produces a link to the class article, followed by a link to the ship type article.

This template is for ship classes that are named for a common theme. For ship classes that are named after the lead ship, such as the Haskell، طراز attack transport, use {{sclass}} instead.

Optional parameter: "format"

An optional third parameter allows you to control the format and use the template if Ship type is not an article:

{{sclass2 | Class name | ship type  | format }}

The values and resluts for format are:

0 - suppresses ship type display entirely. Adjectival form.
1 - displays ship type as part of the single link to the class article.
2 - displays unlinked ship type.
3 - displays ship type as a separate link. Ship type must be the name of an article.
4 - suppresses ship type display entirely. Noun form.
5 - class name only, useful for tables.

To avoid the dreaded red link, one of the first three options must be used if Ship type is not already an article. Note that option 3 is the default, so may be omitted. Other values of format will let you know the error of your ways.

2 {{sclass2|Flower|corvette|2}} [[Flower class corvette|Flower-class]] corvette Flower، طراز corvette When the ship type article does not exist
3 {{sclass2|Flower|corvette|3}} [[Flower class corvette|Flower-class]] [[corvette]] Flower، طراز corvette Same as default
4 {{sclass2|Flower|corvette|4}} [[Flower class corvette|Flower class]] Flower طراز Noun form
5 {{sclass2|Flower|corvette|5}} [[Flower class corvette|Flower]] Flower Table form

Optional parameter: "disambiguation"

An optional fourth parameter allows you to disambiguate the ship type if it would ordinarily link to a disambiguation page (i.e. minesweeper):

{{sclass2 | Class name | ship type  | format | disambiguation }}

This would only be needed with either the default or with the "format" parameter set to 3. Note: to use the disambiguation parameter, you must specify a "format" parameter, or use "||" (double pipe) between the "ship type" and "disambiguation" parameters.
