FredBot can create shorthand templates so editors can easily create links to our ship articles.
Each such has the form of XX-ShipName, where XX is a two-letter country code. It produces a link to the ship of the given name. If there is more than one such ship, the last launched prior to 1 January, 1926 is referenced, and others may be obtained by additional templates that add suffixes 1, 2, 3, etc, counting backward in time. e.g., H.M.S. Dreadnought (1906) is to be referenced by {{UK-Dreadnought}}, as it is the last ship by that name launched prior to 1926. The old ship H.M.S. Dreadnought (1875) should be referenced by a template named {{UK-Dreadnought1}}, as it is the next-previously launched ship by that name.
Another parameter, "f" can be set to "p", "t", or "pt" to cause the name to be embellished with any national prefix (e.g., "H.M.S.") or the ship type, e.g., "armoured cruiser".
For instance, using Devonshire as an example,
- {{UK-Devonshire}} produces: Devonshire
- {{UK-Devonshire|f=t}} produces: heavy cruiser Devonshire
- {{UK-Devonshire|f=p}} produces: H.M.S. Devonshire
- {{UK-Devonshiref=pt}} produces: heavy cruiser H.M.S. Devonshire
