Template:Cite DANFS

Important note

This template is not intended to replace the template {{DANFS}}. Where public domain material from the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships is incorporated into an article {{DANFS}} must still be used in the article for the proper attribution of public domain text. (DANFS, as a work of the U.S. federal government, is in the public domain.)

Parameters

Required parameters

This template requires these parameters:

• title — the ship name. Will automatically format with italics
• url — the DANFS online URL. Can be from the NHC website (preferred) or elsewhere

Optional parameters

These optional parameters are similar to those in other citation templates:

• first, lastORauthor — used when there is a known author of a DANFS article (the optional authorlink will work for either)
• date — used when a date is provided. For DANFS, this is typically on new or newly updated entries.
• accessdate — the full retrieval date.

These optional parameters are specific to this template:

• short — when set to "on" (or "yes") provides a succinct entry; useful as a note in a Notes, Reference style, with a full (i.e. not using short) in the References section
  • set short to "first" to display the full name of Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships
• link — when set to "off" (or "no") provides a full entry without wikilinks for the work title and publisher information; useful for second and additional uses to avoid overlinking within the references section

Note: if the "short" and "link" options are not necessary, leave the optional parameters completely out (i.e. don't put "short = off" or "link = on")
