ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:GT/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:GT It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು page. |
Purpose
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿTo show gross tonnage in a consistent manner that is compliant with WP:MOSNUM. In particular it:
- capitalization and spelling are standardized (i.e. GT, Gt, gt, G.T., g.t. and so forth),
- the link to the definition is standardized,
- links to gross tonnage on the first use in an article,
- uses the abbreviation GT, i.e. "XXX GT" on subsequent uses in the article,
- inserts s where needed, and
spells out "gross tonnage (GT) of XXX tons", introducing the abbreviation GT on the first use in an article.
Note! Gross tonnage is a dimensionless index calculated with a mathematical formula. While this template allows, for the sake of backwards compatibility, the use of "tons" as the unit for gross tonnage, this is not correct and should not be used in future articles.
Usage
