Optional display control parameter
There is an optional third parameter that controls which pieces of text are displayed in the article. Its value is treated as a binary number and will display the corresponding "bits". So setting the 4's bit will display "HMCS", setting the 2's bit will display the ship name, and setting the 1's bit will display the ID. If binary math isn't your thing, refer to these examples:
| Value | Parameter(s);br>displayed | Example | Equivalent wikicode | Final result | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3rd | {{HMCS|Bonaventure|CVL 22|1}} | [[HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22)|CVL 22]] | CVL 22 | |
| 2 | 2nd | {{HMCS|Bonaventure|CVL 22|2}} | [[HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22)|''Bonaventure'']] | Bonaventure | |
| 3 | 2nd, 3rd | {{HMCS|Bonaventure|CVL 22|3}} | [[HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22)|''Bonaventure'' CVL 22]] | Bonaventure (CVL 22) | |
| 4 | invalid result | {{HMCS|Bonaventure|CVL 22|4}} | — | Error: {{HMCS}} invalid control parameter: 4 (help) | |
| 5 | 1st, 3rd | {{HMCS|Bonaventure|CVL 22|5}} | [[HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22)|HMCS CVL 22]] | HMCS CVL 22 | |
| 6 | 1st, 2nd | {{HMCS|Bonaventure|CVL 22|6}} | [[HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22)|HMCS ''Bonaventure'']] | HMCS Bonaventure | |
| 2nd (no 3rd) |
{{HMCS|Athabaskan|3=2}} | Alternate usage: {{HMCS|Athabaskan||2}} | [[HMCS Athabaskan|''Athabaskan'']] | Athabaskan | |
N.B.: Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the Athabaskan example above, the "|3=2" means set the third parameter to a value of two, while the alternate syntax shows using a pair of pipes, "||2", to position the value two in the third parameter position.
