Purpose
To showgross tonnagein a consistent manner that is compliant withWP:MOSNUM.In particular it:
- standardizes capitalization and spelling (i.e. GT, Gt, gt, G.T., g.t. and so forth),
- standardizes the link to the definition,
- links togross tonnageon the first use in an article,
- uses the abbreviation GT, i.e. "XXXGT"on subsequent uses in the article,
- inserts where needed
Note!Gross tonnage is a dimensionless index calculated with a mathematical formula. While this template allows, for the sake of backwards compatibility, the use of "tons" as the unit for gross tonnage, this is not correct and should not be used in future articles.
Usage
{{GT|number|disp=|link=}}
- Parameters
- number:numerical value of the gross tonnage;
- disp:controls how the template will render in the page:
|disp=when empty or omitted, displays the abbreviated form:{{GT|36,000|disp=}}→ 36,000GT
|disp=longcreates a verbose description suitable for the first occurrence on a page{{GT|36,000|disp=long}}→ 36,000gross tonnage(GT)
|disp=adjcreates the adjectival form:{{GT|36,000|disp=adj}}→ 36,000-gross tonnage(GT)
- link:controls when the template output is linked to thegross tonnagearticle
|link=when empty or omitted, links to the gross tonnage article; this is the default;{{GT|36,000|disp=long|link=}}→ 36,000gross tonnage(GT)
|link=offinstances of the rendered template are not linked to the gross tonnage article:{{GT|36,000|disp=long|link=off}}→ 36,000 gross tonnage (GT)
