[edit] Choose an ensign or jack

jack
ensign

Use one of the jacks or ensigns found in Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Ensigns.

The ensign is preferred if available. Choose a flag accurate for the period the ship served in, or for their final period of active service, if they served in many eras. If the ship served in different Navies, choose at least the flag of the initial navy. If using the template below, multiple ensigns can be listed under under the single flag parameter until such time as a multi-service templace is created.

[edit] Table of statistics for a ship

Use this Wiki markup to make a table of statistics for a ship. If you have an image that just depicts the ship, then there's no need for a caption. But if the image concerns a significant event, place or date, then add a caption explaining. (Example: Japanese battleship Haruna needs a caption, but HMS Barham (1914) doesn't.) Be sure to add '300px' to the image link.

See Template talk:Infobox Ship Begin/doc for more information.

If you find an article that doesn't have an infobox, and you don't have the time or resources to add one, please put {{Ship infobox request}} on the article's talk page. This will add the article to Category:Ship articles without infoboxes so that other members can add an infobox.

This ship infobox supports a very large number of fields, including some specialty fields that will rarely be used. Some fields simply don't make sense in some cases. Some different sets of code have been prepared using only the most common fields. Select the most appropriate set below and copy and paste the entire code to the top of a ship article, then fill in as many fields as possible. Empty fields should generally be kept so that a future editor can fill them in unless they make no sense for the ship in question.

The "Full" code contains every field the template supports. If you want, you can copy one of the the simplified sets of code and add a few fields from the "Full" code.

If you have ideas for improvements or would like to add brand new fields to these templates, please post on Template talk:Infobox Ship Begin/doc to discuss the changes and how they should be implemented.

[edit] Code for ship classes

Use this Wiki markup to make a table of statistics for a ship class. Ideally the image should be of the lead ship of the class. You must write a caption naming the ship in the image. If you don't need or know any particular fact in the table, leave it as a future editor may.
