Template:INS
This is a typing short cut for linking to Indian Navy ship articles named in the format "INS Mahé (M-83)". Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as [[INS Mahé (M-83)|INS ''Mahé'' (M-83)]]. This template halves that to {{INS|Mahé|M-83}}.
Formal usage
[change source]{{INS|Ship Name}}{{INS|Ship Name|ID}}, where ID can be the hull number, launch year, or pennant number, as specified in the article title.
Examples
[change source]| Template usage | Equivalent wikicode | Final result |

| [[INS Mahé (M 83)|INS ''Mahé'' (M 83)]]
| INS Mahé (M 83) |
{{INS|Mahé|1983}}
| [[INS Mahé (1983)|INS ''Mahé'' (1983)]]
| INS Mahé (1983) |
{{INS|Mahé}}
| [[INS Mahé|INS ''Mahé'']]
