This page is the template that should be used for creating Capital Ship entries.

Every article should contain an infobox. The fighter infobox is used for both fighters and capships. Not every line needs to be filled in. Only those lines that are relevant need to be filled in.

USAGE:

{{infobox Fighter
|faction = #REQUIRED for faction design of template - terran/kilrathi/landreich/firekkan
|name = #REQUIRED <!--please avoid stating manufacturer in this field; it's stated two lines below -->
|type = #REQUIRED
|manufacturer = #REQUIRED
|image = <!--in the ''image:filename'' format, no image tags-->
|caption = <!--image caption; if it isn't descriptive it should be left blank-->
|designer = <!--only appropriate for single designers, not project leaders-->
|first flight = <!--if it hasn't happened, leave it out!-->
|introduction = <!--date the fighter entered or will enter military or revenue service-->
|retired = <!--date the fighter left military or revenue service. If vague or multiples, it probably should be skipped-->
|status = <!--in most cases, this field is redundant; use it sparingly-->
|primary user = <!--please list only one user – for military fighter, the user is a nation and not a service arm-->
|more users = <!--limited to three "more users" total; please separate with <br/>-->
|produced = <!--years in production, e.g. 2549-2599, if still in active use but no longer built-->
|number built = 
|unit cost = 
|developed from = <!-- the fighter which formed the basis for the topic type -->
|variants with their own articles = <!-- variants OF the topic type -->
}}


Following the infobox, the 5 angle shot should be placed next. Use the image tag with the following format.

[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb|300px|right|IMAGE DESCRIPTION]]

Other images should be placed in a gallery at the end of the article in a gallery. Galleries are created by using the gallery tag.

 <gallery>
Image:IMAGE NAME|IMAGE DESCRIPTION
</gallery>

Most Capital ship entries will not require long articles and may not need headings, however if they do, they are created by using the heading code. Two equal signs with the heading in the middle will create sections. This is useful when discussing ships that have extensive histories.

==Heading 1==

Article text should follow the 5 angle shot, if required use headings, if not the text can be entered simply by typing in the text. After text is inserted articles need to be categorized. Wikipedia uses the double brackets for creating links.

[[category:Capships]]

Multiple categories can be entered by creating multiple category tags.
