[[Category:Vehicles]]</includeonly><noinclude>
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.

[[Template:Vehicle|Core vehicle]] · [[Template:GroundVehicle|Ground]] · [[Template:AirVehicle|Air]] · [[Template:AerospaceVehicle|Aerospace]] · [[Template:SpaceVehicle|Space]]

== Template hierarchy ==
* <code>GroundVehicle</code> → <code>Vehicle</code> + ground fields.
* <code>AirVehicle</code> → <code>Vehicle</code> + flight fields.
* <code>AerospaceVehicle</code> → <code>AirVehicle</code> → <code>Vehicle</code>, adding space fields and changing the rain-protection default.
* <code>SpaceVehicle</code> → <code>Vehicle</code> + 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 <code>extension</code> parameter holds table rows; the optional <code>vehicle_class</code> parameter changes the table caption.

== Rain protection ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Template !! Default for <code>rain_protection</code>
|-
| GroundVehicle || Wipers
|-
| AirVehicle || Wipers
|-
| AerospaceVehicle || Bleed air system
|-
| SpaceVehicle || No rain-protection row
|}
The [[A-4 Wanderer]] must explicitly use <code>|rain_protection=None</code>. To flag an unknown value instead of accepting a class default, use <code><nowiki>|rain_protection={{Vehicle missing}}</nowiki></code>.

== Example ==
<pre>{{GroundVehicle|manufacturer=[[:Category:Galanovo|Galanovo]]|price=13,800 [[CR]]|weight=915 kg|max_speed=150 km/h|gears=3|seats=2}}</pre>
Omitted fields remain visible as missing information.

== Common parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Field !! Default
|-
| <code>manufacturer</code> || Manufacturer || Not specified
|-
| <code>role</code> || Type / role || Not specified
|-
| <code>price</code> || Price / MSRP || Not specified
|-
| <code>availability</code> || Availability || Not specified

| <code>avionics_bays</code> || Avionics bays || Not specified
|-
| <code>weapon_mounts</code> || Weapon mounts || Not specified

|-
| <code>max_speed</code> || Maximum speed || Not specified
|-
| <code>range</code> || Normal range || Not specified
|-
| <code>endurance</code> || Endurance || Not specified
|}

== 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, <code>|weight=</code>) overrides the default and remains blank; remove the assignment to restore the marker.
* Use <code>None</code>, <code>0</code>, or <code>Not applicable</code> only when that is known, rather than when a value has not been researched.
* Supply units and operating conditions in the value, including <code>[[CR]]</code> 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 <code>{{!}}</code> for a literal pipe outside a wiki link.
* Existing images can stay outside the specification table. The optional <code>image</code> parameter accepts a complete file link, for example <code><nowiki>|image=[[File:A-4.png|thumb|right|400px]]</nowiki></code>, including the filename extension.
* <code>name</code> defaults to the article title; <code>notes</code> adds free-form notes below the table. These optional parameters do not generate missing-field markers.
