[edit] [purge] Template documentation

This is the {{shipindex}} or ship index article template.

It can be used to mark a page as a set index article about ships. It is usually placed at the bottom of the page.

This template adds the page to Category:Set indices on ships.

[edit] Usage

This template can be used without any parameters like this:

{{shipindex}}

But usually we want to control how the page is sorted in Category:Set indices on ships. Then use it with the "name=" parameter, like this:

{{shipindex|name=ship, prefix}}

ship is the name of the ship index page without prefixes or preceding national identifiers.

prefix is the ship prefix or navy identifier.

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Guidelines#Index pages for guidance on formatting ship index pages.
