Ship templates question

Greetings Lynda, {{ship|US|West Nohno||2}} is this the right notation for (WWII) US merchant ships and is there a WP with a list for Panama, Norway etc please? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 14:53, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

As I understand it all you need is SS (or MV/MS if a motorship) ie {{SS|West Nohno||2}} Lyndaship (talk) 14:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Bugger! I'll have to take them out, :O( Keith-264 (talk) 14:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Lol - I thought they were a previous editors doing. Got a sneaky feeling the flags should be UKGBNI too - no difference in graphic Lyndaship (talk) 15:03, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, someone else mentioned that. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 15:47, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Just noticed that {{naval|UKGBNI|civil}} shows as Royal Navy and {{naval|UKGBI|civil}} as Merchant Navy....?!? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 16:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Beyond me as to why but looking at Template:Country data United Kingdom it would appear that {{naval|UKGBNI|naval-merchant}} gets the output desired and satisfies having the right state in the mark-up. As the output is the same for the existing UKGBI usage and this one I'm not much bothered Lyndaship (talk) 16:56, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

  This is because the |civil option is missing from the {{Country data UKGBNI}}. See the available options in the {{naval}} template. --85.249.31.96 (talk) 20:15, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Problem solved. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 20:00, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
