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.
