Template:Cathead wwii merchant ships of/doc

This template is for creating a standardized appearance for categories of merchant ships that were designed, built, or operated during World War II (1939–1945), and categorized in Category:World War II merchant ships.

Usage

For countries not prefixed with the definite article the, like "Belgium" or "France", use:

• {{cathead wwii merchant ships of | Country name }}

where Country name is replaced by the specific country's name. For countries that are prefixed with the definite article, like "the Netherlands" or "the United Kingdom", use:

• {{cathead wwii merchant ships of | the = yes | Country name }}

For countries that should sort under something other than their full name—like "Republic of China" sorting under C for China, rather than R for Republic—use an optional sort parameter, as in this example:

• {{cathead wwii merchant ships of | the = yes | Republic of China | China, Republic of }}

(This works with or without the parameter the.)
