Template:Boeing model/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is used to format Boeing aircraft model numbers in such a way that they are not mistaken for number ranges. Many Boeing arcraft are designated with model numbers which include one or more hyphens. This format is often mistaken for a number range by editors, and as such the hyphen is often incorrectly replaced with and en dash per MOS:RANGE, especially by automated or semi-automated editing tools such as AutoWikiBrowser.

Usage

[edit]
  • {{Boeing model|737|800}} → 737-800
  • {{Boeing model|707|386C}} → 707-386C
  • {{Boeing model|345|9|6}} → 345-9-6

This template supports up to four parameters to be separated by hyphens.
