== Usage ==
This is a typing short cut for linking to [[Paddle steamer|Paddle Steamer]] articles named in the format "PS Shipname (year)". Since Ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as <nowiki>[[PS Shipname (year)|PS ''Shipname'' (year)]]</nowiki>. This template halves that to <nowiki>{{PS|Shipname|year}}.
</nowiki>

=== Formal Usage ===
* <nowiki>{{PS|Shipname}}</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{PS Shipname|ID}}</nowiki>, where ID can be the [[hull number]], launch year, or [[pennant number]], as specified in the article title.

=== Examples ===
{|class=wikitable width="100%"
! Template usage
! Equivalent wikicode
! Final result
|-
| <nowiki>{{PS|Commonwealth|1854}}</nowiki>
| <nowiki>[[PS Commonwealth (1854)|PS ''Commonwealth'' (1854)]]</nowiki>
| {{PS|Commonwealth|1854}}
|-
| <nowiki>{{PS|Chauncey Vibbard}}</nowiki>
| <nowiki>[[PS Chauncey Vibbard|PS ''Chauncey Vibbard'']]</nowiki>
| {{PS|Chauncey Vibbard}}
|}

Last example could be used to link to ship index (disambiguation) page

=== 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 USRC, 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:
{|class=wikitable width=100%
! Value
! Parameter(s)<br>displayed
! colspan=2 | Example
! Equivalent wikicode
! Final result
|-
! None
| style="text-align:center;" | all
| colspan=2 | <nowiki>{{PS|Commonwealth|1854}}</nowiki>
| <nowiki>[[PS Commonwealth (1854)|PS ''Commonwealth'' (1854)]]</nowiki>

|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 2nd<br><small>(no 3rd)</small>
| <nowiki>{{PS|Chauncey Vibbard|3=2}}</nowiki>
| <nowiki>Alternate usage: {{PS|Chauncey Vibbard||2}}</nowiki>
| <nowiki>[[PS Chauncey Vibbard|''Chauncey Vibbard'']]</nowiki>
| {{PS| Chauncey Vibbard||2}}
|}
''N.B.'': Be careful with the third parameter if not using the second parameter. In the ''Matagorda '' 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.
