How to create a category for a ship
A. When to create a category for a specific ship
If you know the name of a ship in a photo, you might want to create a category for the ship.
B. How to name the category
  1. In general, name the category with the ship's name as painted on the vessel (when the picture was taken).
    Sample: This photo shows "Isla de Botafoc" in 2008. The category is named "Isla de Botafoc (ship, 1980)". This even if the ship had other names before and afterwards.
  2. The general format for category titles is "<name of ship> (ship, <year>)". <year> is the year the ship was completed, see Category:Ships by year of manufacture for further information.
    Samples: "Golden Hind (ship, 1973)" or "Pacific Dawn (ship, 1991)".
  3. "<name of ship> (ship, <year>)" is a naming convention rather than a disambiguation rule. "(ship, <year>)" is added even if there is no other category named "<name of ship>". The "<name of ship>" may already mean ship.
    Samples: "Norwood (ship, 1899)" or "Europic Ferry (ship, 1968)" or "Mein Schiff 2 (ship, 1997)" or "The Big Red Boat II (ship, 1966)".
  4. Submarines use "<name> (submarine, <year>)" and tugs/towboats use "<name> (tugboat, <year>)". All other types are identified by category:Ships by type.
    Samples: "Akula (submarine, 1909)" or "Cape Romain (tugboat, 1979)".
  5. Fishing ships display their license number. Categories for these have the format "<license number> <name> (ship, <year>)" (see Category:Fishing vessels by license number).
    Sample: This image shows "N206", the category is named "N206 Castle Bay (ship, 1965)".
  6. Prefixes are generally omitted.
    Samples: "Titanic (ship, 1912)" instead of "RMS Titanic (ship, 1912)". Rather "Ammonia (ship, 1929)" than "DF Ammonia (ship, 1929)" or "SF Ammonia (ship, 1929)" .
    • Exception: If the name as painted on the ship always includes the "prefix", the category name includes it as well.
    Sample: MS. Volendam (ship, 1990) as the name on the vessel reads "MS. Volendam".
  7. If there are several ships with the same name built in the same year, the place where the ship was built/location of the shipyard is added: "<name of ship> (ship, <year>, <place>)".
    Sample: "Mistral (ship, 1999, Saint-Nazaire)" as there are several Mistral (ship, 1999).
    • In the rare case that there are several ships with the same name built the same year at the same place, the yard number is also added: "<name of ship> (ship, <year>, <place>, <yard number>)".
    Sample: "Stena Transporter (ship, 1978, Ulsan, 649)" and Stena Transporter (ship, 1978, Ulsan, 651).
  8. If you don't know the year the ship was built or can't find it, just use "<name> (ship)".
    Sample: "Ben Campbell (ship)".

D. More elements to add to the category description

The following can be added manually or in series by bot.

 

E. Categories to add to photos rather than categories

There are series of subcategories of Category:Ships that are suitable for photos rather than for categories about specific ships. Samples:

Category:Watercraft#Ships Category:Transport by vehicle
