Talk:HMS Highflyer (1813)

Questionable...
Someone used HMS Poictiers (1809) and HMS Acasta (1797) for these Royal Navy vessels. This renders as HMS Poictiers (1809) and HMS Acasta (1797).

However, the usual way of describing RN vessels, HMS Poictiers would render as HMS Poictiers. As I read this article I was puzzled? Were Poictiers and Acasta RN vessels?

No one is going to object to using sensibly written templates, so long as they work right, and are used right.

However, IMO, either the template is broken, or it is not being used right.

There is a principle in engineering and related disciplines, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I think this template breaks that principle. 00:08, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Wrong on both accounts. Template use is correct. No need to repeat prefixes. Llammakey (talk) 20:35, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
