Template:Pattern

From Halo: Daybreak

This template functions similarly to Template:Class and is mostly meant for use with Covenant vehicles and ships identified by their design patterns.

Purpose[edit source]

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

Code: [[Henjor-pattern attack cruiser|''Henjor''-pattern attack cruiser]]

Result: Henjor-pattern attack cruiser

Usage[edit source]

In most cases we want to provide a direct link to the article with minimum fuss.

Code: {{Pattern|Henjor|attack cruiser}}

Result: Henjor-pattern attack cruiser

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

Code: {{Pattern|Henjor|attack cruiser|ship}}

Result: Henjor-pattern ship

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

Code: {{Pattern|Henjor|attack cruiser|}} and the text that comes after.

Result: Henjor-pattern and the text that comes after.
