Template:Vehicle

Reusable core for vehicle specifications. Use a class template on vehicle articles; each class forwards its common parameters to this core, so shared layout and labels are maintained here.

Core vehicle · Ground · Air · Aerospace · Space

Template hierarchy

GroundVehicle → Vehicle + ground fields.
AirVehicle → Vehicle + flight fields.
AerospaceVehicle → AirVehicle → Vehicle, adding space fields and changing the rain-protection default.
SpaceVehicle → Vehicle + propulsion and space fields.

This is native template composition/parameter forwarding. No additional wiki extension is needed. When adding a new public parameter, update the relevant wrapper's forwarding list as well as its documentation. The internal extension parameter holds table rows; the optional vehicle_class parameter changes the table caption.

Rain protection

Template	Default for `rain_protection`
GroundVehicle	Wipers
AirVehicle	Wipers
AerospaceVehicle	Bleed air system
SpaceVehicle	No rain-protection row

The A-4 Wanderer must explicitly use |rain_protection=None. To flag an unknown value instead of accepting a class default, use |rain_protection={{Vehicle missing}}.

Example

{{GroundVehicle|manufacturer=[[:Category:Galanovo|Galanovo]]|price=13,800 [[CR]]|weight=915 kg|max_speed=150 km/h|gears=3|seats=2}}

Omitted fields remain visible as missing information.

Editing conventions

Omit an unknown parameter entirely. Omitted specification fields display Not specified and place the article in Category:Vehicles needing specifications. An explicitly empty assignment (for example, |weight=) overrides the default and remains blank; remove the assignment to restore the marker.
Use None, 0, or Not applicable only when that is known, rather than when a value has not been researched.
Supply units and operating conditions in the value, including [[CR]] for prices. This preserves distinctions such as kg versus MT, km/h versus m/s, and empty versus fully loaded performance. Units are not appended automatically.
Parameter names are case-sensitive. Standard wiki links are supported in values. Use {{!}} for a literal pipe outside a wiki link.
Existing images can stay outside the specification table. The optional image parameter accepts a complete file link, for example |image=[[File:A-4.png|thumb|right|400px]], including the filename extension.
name defaults to the article title; notes adds free-form notes below the table. These optional parameters do not generate missing-field markers.
