What always comes first after the templates on a ship-related page is a brief description of the ship, typically describing the class and one or two characteristics of the ship in a short summary. | What always comes first '''<u><span style="color:yellow">after the templates</span></u>''' (this includes the Ship Infobox) on a ship-related page is a brief description of the ship, typically describing the class and one or two characteristics of the ship in a short summary. | ||
For example, let's hypothetically say we are making a brief description of the Colossus; a Titan-class ship based off the [[Prototype X-1]]. The summary would go something like this: "The Colossus is a [[United Nations of Earth|U.N.E]] Titan that is very durable; and is armed with unique, colossal weaponry." | For example, let's hypothetically say we are making a brief description of the Colossus; a Titan-class ship based off the [[Prototype X-1]].

The [[Template:Ship Infobox | The [[Template:Ship Infobox|Ship Infobox Template]] is used on every ship page to give a quick run-down on the statistics and appearance of a ship. However, it is not that easy to become familiarized with it if you're new to using templates with parameters. Fortunately, this is an excellent place to learn how to use the Ship Infobox template; though before continuing to read this section, please click on the hyperlink to the template page and read the documentation there. When utilizing the template, try to enter the arguments to the template parameters in a manner similar to that on all other ship pages. That way, it will be easier for you and other editors to edit the template arguments later on if need be. See the source of the [[Andromeda]] for an example (from this point on, you should reference the Andromeda page if you need an example of something described on this page). | ||
As for inserting multiple images into the template, see the image example below: | As for inserting multiple images into the template, see the image example below: | ||
