Template:BNS/doc

Usage

This is a typing short cut for linking to Bangladesh Navy ship articles named in the format "BNS Bangabandhu (M-83)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[BNS Bangabandhu (M-83)|BNS ''Bangabandhu'' (M-83)]]. This template halves that to {{BNS|Bangabandhu|M-83}}.

Formal usage

• {{BNS|Ship Name}}
• {{BNS|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.

Examples

Template usage	Equivalent wikicode	Final result
{{BNS|Bangabandhu|M 83}}	[[BNS Bangabandhu (M 83)|BNS ''Bangabandhu'' (M 83)]]	BNS Bangabandhu (M 83)
{{BNS|Bangabandhu}}	[[BNS Bangabandhu|BNS ''Bangabandhu'']]	BNS Bangabandhu

Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page
