Template:Cathead navy minehunters/doc

This template is for creating a standardized appearance for categories of minehunters organized by navy in Category:Minehunters by navy.

Usage
For countries not prefixed with the definite article the, like "Belgium" or "France", use:

where Navy name is replaced by the specific navy's name and Country name is replaced by the specific country's name. For countries that are prefixed with the definite article, like "the Netherlands" or "the United Kingdom", use:

For more complex cases, where the category shouldn't sort under the navy's full name, like wanting to sort "Royal Thai Navy" under T for Thai rather than R for Royal, an optional sort parameter may be used

For a country with more than one navy through its history, like Japan with the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), another optional sort parameter may be used to sort the categories in chronological order Using "Japan 1946" will cause the JMSDF category to sort after the IJN category
