This template works differently than other templates you'll find in the wiki. The main purpose of this template is to produce something like this {{Ship|Drake|tooltip}} (you can try hovering the text to see what i mean) or his bigger brother | |||
{{Ship|Drake|box}} | |||
With just typing something as simple as this | |||
<div style='background-color: #111111;border: 1px dashed #555555;color: #CCCCCC;line-height: 1.1em;padding: 1em;'> | |||
<span style='color:white'><nowiki>{{Ship|Drake|tooltip}}</nowiki></span> for the tooltip-look, and<br><br> | |||
<span style='color:white'><nowiki>{{Ship|Drake|box}}</nowiki></span> for the bigger box-styled version | |||
</div> | |||
As you noticed, by using this template we don't need to write any additional ship information to produce something more informative, as long as the ship information is written on the [[Template:ShipDatabase|Template:ShipDatabase]]. This should cut down the time needed for editors and/or contributors to write articles which includes any particular ship information, not to mention the tooltip mode will enable users to put a hoverable ship information text on their articles. The tooltip mode can be used on any place on any form of wiki stylings or locations, for example inside a table or a list, since the hoverable text would be treated as a normal link by the wiki. | |||
