Template:Net register tonnage

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Purpose

To show net register tonnage in a consistent manner that is compliant with WP:MOSNUM. In particular it:

standardizes capitalization and spelling (i.e. NRT, Nrt, nrt, N.R.T., n.r.t. and so forth),
standardizes the link to the definition,
links to net register tonnage on the first use in an article,
uses the abbreviation NRT, i.e. "XXX NRT" on subsequent uses in the article,
inserts   where needed

Note! For ships built on or after 18 July 1982, use {{NetT}}.

{{NRT|number|disp=|link=}}

Parameters

number: numerical value of the gross register tonnage;

disp: controls how the template will render in the page:

|disp= when empty or omitted, displays the abbreviated form:

{{NRT|36,000|disp=}} → 36,000 NRT

|disp=long creates a verbose description suitable for the first occurrence on a page

{{NRT|36,000|disp=long}} → 36,000 net register tons (NRT)

|disp=adj creates the adjectival form:

{{NRT|36,000|disp=adj}} → 36,000-net register ton (NRT)

link: controls when the template output is linked to the net register tonnage article

|link= when empty or omitted, links to the gross register tonnage article; this is the default;

{{NRT|36,000|disp=long|link=}} → 36,000 net register tons (NRT)

|link=off instances of the rendered template are not linked to the gross register tonnage article:

{{NRT|36,000|disp=long|link=off}} → 36,000 net register tons (NRT)
