Template:Pattern

Purpose

To avoid having to enter the following code to achieve the proper link and italics:

Code: [[Hekar Taa-pattern blockade runner|''Hekar Taa''-pattern blockade runner]]

Result: Hekar Taa-pattern blockade runner

Usage

Most cases we want to provide a direct link to the article with the minimum of fuss.

Code: {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner}}

Result: Hekar Taa-pattern blockade runner

Sometimes, we don't want to use the ship's type as the follow on text.

Code: {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner|ship}}

Result: Hekar Taa-pattern ship

If we want to leave out the follow-on text altogether, we make the third parameter empty.

Code: {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner|}} and the text that comes after.

Result: Hekar Taa-pattern and the text that comes after.
