Template:InfoboxShip/doc

This is a infobox template for starships, space ships, and other space capable vehicle designs.

This template also stores data in the Starship Cargo table. This means the format of the elements is more specific and picky. The parameters to the template are parsed and inserted into tables in the database for query through Cargo.
