Template talk:HMS

This template is intended to be kept in sync with {{tl|USS}}, but as with many things documentation may fall out of sync with code changes. So looking at Template talk:USS may yield additional insight, or not. If one falls too far out of sync, please chastise us over on WP:Ships. Thanks, --J Clear 23:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Please see section by the same name in Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships) for a discussion on use of "the" or not with H.M. ships. Comments welcome at that page. — Johan the Ghost _seance 15:47, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Per a discussion at WikiProject Ships, I've updated this template to use {{tl|ship}} as a meta-template. The changes were tested in the template sandbox and the template testcases page. If there are any problems with these changes, please revert and let me know. Thanks. — Bellhalla (talk) 05:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi ! Could you add [[fr:Modèle:HMS]] to the interwiki links ? Thanks ! Gonzolito (talk) 21:16, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

His Majesty's Brittanic Ship/Schooner was used in the late 1700s, predating the use of His Majesty's Ship. In the case of the ship Gaspee, I can find references to the ship name in longform as, His Britannic Majesty's Schooner Gaspee but not as HBMS Gaspee.Bartlett, [http://books.google.com/books?id=Xr80AQAAMAAJ A History of the Destruction of His Britannic Majesty's Schooner Gaspee, in Narragansett Bay, on the 10th June, 1772: Accompanied by the Correspondence Connected Therewith; the Action of the General Assembly of Rhode Island Thereon, and the Official Journal of the Proceedings of the Commission of Inquiry, on the Same]. What's the right thing to do for ships that were never called HMS but were still part of the Royal Navy? --Mike32065 (talk) 01:03, 10 November 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhickey (talk • contribs) 21:38, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

The "_" (underscore) character is converted into a non-breaking space. This leads to some long titles that do not have breaks in them. I noticed this on the 1773 page. On January 17 the template was used for {{HMS|Resolution|1771}} and there was excessive white space at the end of the line before the link. Changing the template to a link fixed this, though this should not be necessary. Mike32065 (talk) 01:03, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
