Template:Cathead spanish-american war gunboats of/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is for creating a standardized appearance for categories of gunboats that were designed, built, or operated during the Spanish–American War (April–August 1898), and categorized in Category:Spanish–American War gunboats.

Note: Although the conflict is properly written with an un-spaced en dash, as in Spanish–American War, this cathead template and other related Spanish–American War cathead templates use a hyphen in the name for ease of typing.

Usage

[edit]

For countries not prefixed with the definite article the, like "Belgium" or "France", use:

  • {{cathead spanish-american war gunboats of | Country name }}

where Country name is replaced by the specific country's name. For countries that are prefixed with the definite article, like "the Netherlands" or "the United Kingdom", use:

  • {{cathead spanish-american war gunboats of | the = yes | Country name }}

For countries that should sort under something other than their full name—like "Republic of China" sorting under C for China, rather than R for Republic—use an optional sort parameter, as in this example:

  • {{cathead spanish-american war gunboats of | the = yes | Republic of China | China, Republic of }}

(This works with or without the parameter the.)
