قالب:INS/doc

This is a typing short cut for linking to Indian Navy ship articles named in the format "INS Mahé (M-83)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[INS Mahé (M-83)|INS ''Mahé'' (M-83)]]. This template halves that to {{INS|Mahé|M-83}}.

 Formal usage

• {{INS|Ship Name}}
• {{INS|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.

 Examples

Template usage	Equivalent wikicode	Final result
{{INS|Mahé|M 83}}	[[INS Mahé (M 83)|INS ''Mahé'' (M 83)]]	آي‌إن‌إس Mahé (M 83)
{{INS|Mahé|1983}}	[[INS Mahé (1983)|INS ''Mahé'' (1983)]]	آي‌إن‌إس Mahé (1983)
{{INS|Mahé}}	[[INS Mahé|INS ''Mahé'']]	آي‌إن‌إس Mahé

Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page قالب:Ship/doc/fixed prefix: label format options
