Template:Pirate wealth/doc

In 2008, Forbes Magazine published a listing of the top 20 highest-earning pirates of all time. This information can be used to populate the wealth Infobox parameter in the Wikipedia articles for each of these 20 pirates. This template ensures that the information is presented accurately and consistently for each.

Usage
wealth 


 * where
 *  is the earnings, in millions of dollars, as listed in the Forbes article. Do not include the dollar sign or any other formatting.  Note that the output will be adjusted for inflation since 2008, when the article was written.
 *  is the earnings rank of this pirate, as assigned by the Forbes article. Do not include the number sign (#).

Example
Forbes listed Samuel Bellamy as the highest-earning pirate, ranked #1 after having earned $120 million (in 2008 dollars). This would be coded as:

This appears in the following code, which produces the infobox at the top of this page, including the two reference footnotes shown at the bottom of this page. Note that the earnings displayed in the infobox above was automatically adjusted to $ million in today's dollars.

Citation re-use
Should one desire to re-use the Forbes citation elsewhere in the article text, they may do so with one of these two techniques:
 * Named reference
 * – The ref name must be "ForbesRank"; it produces the footnote at the end of this sentence.


 * Shortened footnote
 * – Such a Harvard-style shortened footnote appears at the end of this sentence.
