Template:Infobox ship/doc

The Ship Infobox as presented here is a template with placeholders for the most basic ship data. It was adapted from our own character infobox.

How to use the Ship Infobox
The long and involved process works thusly. If you just want the Box, go directly to the Cheat Sheet.

Trigger the use of the Ship Infobox on your page if you plan to include it. At the top of your edit window, enter:

And with this, you're set.

List of Parameters
Unless otherwise noted, parameters will simply not appear in the box if the value is left blank (eg. | image = ). This versatility will allow us to add new parameters to the box in the future without removing the existing ones, and letting you pick and choose which ones to fill out.


 * image - Vessel image. Should not be wider than 300 pixels. If it's too wide (or too small) it will be automatically reduced (or expanded) to the appropriate size (but clicking on the image will display the actual image rather than the adjusted version). If you have no image, leave this blank. It is suggested you upload your image files rather than try to link to them.
 * caption - Text that goes right beneath the image, if you think the image requires further commentary. If not, leave this parameter blank and there will be no space between picture and the rest of the information.
 * class - The class of your vessel.
 * category - Which of the three main ship categories the ship belongs to, e.g. Escort, Science or Cruiser.
 * registry - The official registry number, such as NCC-1701.
 * faction - The Star Trek group you are aligned with. Initial reports say the game will release with only two: United Federation Of Planets and the Klingon Empire.
 * fleet - If this vessel is part of a player group (Called fleets in Star Trek Online), enter the name of it here.
 * baseofoperations - Your ship's current stomping ground, if any.
 * co - Commanding Officer, probably you. We may add room for the rest of the command staff later.
 * status - The current operational status of the ship. Generally this will be active or some other short descriptive text. If the vessel is no longer active, include the year it left operational service.
 * commissioned - The year your vessel first entered operational service.

The Ship Infobox Cheat Sheet
Just copy/paste the below list into your ship's Edit box and fill in any categories that you might care to fill in. Leave all other lines blank, but do not delete them (parameters with no value will not be displayed in the final infobox, but deleted parameters still appear - very annoying, we're working on it).

As an example, the Ship Infobox on this page for USS Enterprise uses the following:
