To show deadweight tonnage, whether expressed in metric or long tons, in a consistent manner. Also to introduce the units used and the intended meaning of the abbreviation DWT the first time it is used in an article.
((DWT|number|unit|disp=|link=))
long
or metric
;|disp=
when empty or omitted, displays the abbreviated form:
((DWT|36,000|metric|disp=))
→ 36,000 t DWT|disp=long
creates a verbose description suitable for the first occurrence on a page
((DWT|36,000|metric|disp=long))
→ 36,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT)|disp=adj
creates the adjectival form:
((DWT|36,000|metric|disp=adj))
→ 36,000-tonne deadweight (DWT)|link=
when empty or omitted, links to the deadweight tonnage article; this is the default;
((DWT|36,000|metric|disp=long|link=))
→ 36,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT)|link=off
instances of the rendered template are not linked to the deadweight tonnage article:
((DWT|36,000|metric|disp=long|link=off))
→ 36,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT)Input | Displays as |
((DWT|36,000|metric|disp=long)) | 36,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT) |
((DWT|36,000|long|disp=long)) | 36,000 long tons deadweight (DWT) |
((DWT|36,000|metric)) | 36,000 t DWT |
((DWT|36,000|long)) | 36,000 LT DWT |
