User:Maralia/Template workshop

This is a central workspace for WP:SHIPS to work through standardization issues for infobox, navigational, and other templates.

Infobox Ship Example
The actual template consists of Infobox Ship Begin, which incorporates Infobox Ship Image, Infobox Ship Career, and Infobox Ship Characteristics.
 * We should relocate the contents of Infobox Ship Example to Template:Infobox Ship Begin/doc. Infobox Ship Example itself is purely documentation, and once the contents are moved, it can be deleted, and all of our project documentation repointed to Template:Infobox Ship Begin/doc.

Infobox Ship Class

 * I think Infobox Ship Class should be incorporated into Infobox Ship Begin.
 * Some additional parameters are under discussion: Template talk:Infobox Ship Class.
 * There is a pending issue with the initial header box displaying exactly the text entered in the 'Class type' field&mdash;if the type is interwiki linked, it's interwiki linked in the header too, resulting in a blue link on a blue background. Can this perhaps be fixed by hardcoding the header text to use, which should absolutely output the exactly proper class name?

Submarine

 * This template supports some fields we don't have: separate surfaced and submersed fields for displacement, speed, and range&mdash, as well as fields for launching tubes and magazine. Magazine would easily be relocated under Armament, but the other fields should be considered for addition.

Infobox Ferry and WAFerry

 * Discussion underway at Template talk:Infobox Ship Example concerning implementing any fields needed to bring this into the Infobox Ship Begin fold.

Infobox Military Submarine

 * This template should be replaced by Infobox Ship Begin and service record.

Infobox Polish Navy

 * This template should be replaced by Infobox Ship Begin. ✅

Infobox Ship

 * This template should be replaced by Infobox Ship Begin. This is low priority, as the infobox is close to standard and there are over 3,000 transclusions to fix; it's a bot project for 'someday'.

Convert to use navbox

 * Equipment of the Turkish Navy
 * SSBN classes in service
 * Norwegian gunships
 * Norwegian patrol boats
 * WWIIGermanShips

Category:Naval navigational boxes
This category needs to be recursively checked for proper format:
 * all should use navbox
 * ship names, and classes named after ships, should be italicized
