Usage
This template is designed to make an easy external link to a ship's page at Navsource.com
Formal usage
{{navsource|URLcode|Shipname}}
where URLcode is extracted from the navsource.com URL (see below) and Shipname is the optional, unformatted name of the ship.
URLcode
To obtain the URLcode parameter value:
- Find the navsource.com url.
- The url for the USS Houston (CL-81) navsource page is
http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/081/04081.htm
- The url for the USS Houston (CL-81) navsource page is
- The URLcode parameter value is that part of the URL between
archives/
and.htm

04/081/04081
- In this example you would use
Shipname
This optional parameter provides the name of the ship in the rendered link. If omitted or left blank, the template uses the current page name in the link. If Shipname
parameter is one of the standard forms <prefix> <name> <disambiguator>; <prefix> <name>; or <name> <disambiguator>; or <name> where <name> is part of the article title; then {{navsource}}
will apply proper formatting to Shipname
.
Error messages
When {{navsource}}
cannot figure out how to format Shipname
, it will return the Shipname
in its original format along with an error message that may help to get the name right. If the name render's as you think it should add the parameter |showerrs=no
to disable the error message.
