Template:ISS
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
This template is intended to simplify the wikicode needed for properly italicizing a mirror universe starship's name, such as:
[[ISS Avenger|ISS ''Avenger'']]
The template allows for up to three variables:
- Ship's name
- Disambiguation (if any)
- Textual postfix (if any)
{{ISS|Ship Name|Disambiguation|Postfix text}}
[edit] Usage
The simplest use is with the ship's name, such as:
{{ISS|Avenger}}
Use of the single variable version should be avoided if a name has been given to more than one ship, unless the object is to direct the user to a disambiguation page. An example of this would be:
{{ISS|Enterprise}}
To use a link to a disambiguating starship name, enter the disambiguation text as the second variable to the template:
{{ISS|Enterprise|NX-01}}
Please note that for ship names listed with a letter following, such as the non-existent ISS Enterprise-D, that letter that should given as the third variable which is postfixed to the name (unlike the typical third variable which is the entire text):
{{ISS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}}
