| How to create a category for a ship |
- A. When to create a category for a specific ship
- If you know the name of a ship in a photo, you might want to create a category for the ship.
- In general, name the category with the ship's name as painted on the vessel (when the picture was taken).
- Sample: This photo shows "ISLA DE BOTAFOC" in 2008. The category is named "Isla de Botafoc (ship, 1980)". This even if the ship had other names before and afterwards.
- The general format for category titles is "<name of ship> (ship, <year>)". <year> is the year the ship was completed, see Category:Ships by year built for further information.
- Samples: "Golden Hind (ship, 1973)" or "Pacific Dawn (ship, 1991)"
- "<name of ship> (ship, <year>)" is a naming convention rather than a disambiguation rule. "(ship, <year>)" is added even if there is no other category named "<name of ship>". The "<name of ship>" may already mean ship.
- Samples: "Norwood (ship, 1899)" or "Europic Ferry (ship, 1968)" or "Mein Schiff 2 (ship, 1997)" or "The Big Red Boat II (ship, 1966)"
- Submarines use "<name> (submarine, <year>)" and tugs/towboats use "<name> (tugboat, <year>)". All other types are identified by category:Ships by type.
- Samples: "Akula (submarine, 1909)" or "Cape Romain (tugboat, 1979)"
- Fishing ships display their license number. Categories for these have the format "<license number> <name> (ship, <year>)" (see Category:Fishing vessels by license number)
- Sample: This image shows "N206", the category is named "N206 Castle Bay (ship, 1965)"
- Prefixes are generally omitted.
- Samples: "Titanic (ship, 1912)" instead of "RMS Titanic (ship, 1912)". Rather "Ammonia (ship, 1929)" than "DF Ammonia (ship, 1929)" or "SF Ammonia (ship, 1929)"
- Exception: If a ships name is painted on the ship that way. Sample: S/S Orion (ship, 1929).
- If you don't know the year the ship was built or can't find it, just use "<name> (ship)"
- Sample: "Ben Campbell (ship)"
The following can be added manually or in series by bot
There are series of subcategories of Category:Ships that are suitable for photos rather than for categories about specific ships. Samples:
