<!-- Please place categories where indicated at the bottom of this page and interwikis at Wikidata (see [[Wikipedia:Wikidata]]) --> __NOTOC__ == Summary == This module generates links to ships in the Naval Vessel Register (nvr.navy.mil) database. Intended to be used by: *{{tlx|Naval Vessel Register URL}} *{{tlx|Naval Vessel Register service craft URL}} NVR have adopted a file naming convention based on a ship's [[hull classification symbol]] with an appended underscore and some number of digits. The extra digits do not seem to follow an identifiable pattern so the former rules-based system used here no longer works. To get round the 'new' file format, this version of the module adopts a brute-force mechanism by using a local database that maps a ship's hull classification symbol to its associated NVR file name. The database is two large Lua tables maintained at [[Module:Naval Vessel Register URL/data]]. == Using this module from templates == === MakeShipLink === This function returns a link to a ship's page at the Naval Vessel Register website. Usage: : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink|id=|title=}}</nowiki></code> : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink}}</nowiki></code> β uses the calling template's parameters Parameters: : '''1''' or '''id''' β the ship's case-insensitive hull classification symbol in one of five forms: :#SSBN-659 β the preferred format because it matches the format for hull classification symbols generally used for US Navy ships throughout Wikipedia :#SSBN 659 :#SSBN659 :#SSBN_659 :#SSBN_659_1635 β the NVR file name format as of September 2017 ::There are exceptions. There are three ships listed at the NVR website that do not have hull classification symbols. These are: {{USS|Constitution}}, {{USS|Maine|ACR-1|6}}, and {{USS|Texas|1892|6}}. For these three ships, use the ship's name for this parameter. The code word OLDIRON, previously used to identify ''Constitution'' is no longer supported. : '''2''' or '''title''' β A title or label for the link. Examples: : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink|DDG_1000}}</nowiki></code> produces {{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink|DDG_1000}} : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink|constitution}}</nowiki></code> produces {{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink|constitution}} : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink|maine|USS ''Maine''}}</nowiki></code> produces {{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeShipLink|maine|USS ''Maine''}} === MakeServiceCraftLink === This function returns a link to a service craft in the Naval Vessel Register. Usage: : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeServiceCraftLink|id=|title=}}</nowiki></code> : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeServiceCraftLink}}</nowiki></code> β uses the calling template's parameters Parameters: Parameters: : '''1''' or '''id''' β the ship's case-insensitive hull classification symbol in one of five forms: :#YTB-760 β the preferred format because it matches the format for hull classification symbols generally used for US Navy ships throughout Wikipedia :#YTB 760 :#YTB760 :#YTB_760 :#YTB_760_5292 β the NVR file name format as of September 2017 ::There are exceptions. NVR has separate pages for some single and some multiple sections of some floating drydocks. For these, this module adopts a convention similarly used by NVR where each section is distinguished by a letter designator; that letter must be appended to the hull classification symbol used in this parameter; see the examples : '''2''' or '''title''' β A title or label for the link. Examples: : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeServiceCraftLink|AFDB-7F}}</nowiki></code> produces {{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeServiceCraftLink|AFDB7F}} : <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeServiceCraftLink|ytb-760}}</nowiki></code> produces {{#invoke:Naval Vessel Register URL|MakeServiceCraftLink|ytb-760|''Natick''}}
