typesetting the names of vessels

According the

WP:MOSSHIP, the entries for PS Mexico on this dab page are typeset incorrectly. The italics have been erroneously applied to the ship prefix and not applied at all on the blue link to USS General Bragg (1851). According to the Manual of Style the italics should only be used for the ship's proper name (italic typesetting is not to be used for the prefix

or any suffix: hull number or postfix disambiguator). I note that the list entry for:

Mexico (barque), a ship wrecked at Southport on 9 December 1886

is correctly typeset, but the one for:

PS Mexico, a sidewheel paddle steamer, see USS General Bragg

is not correctly set. It could be typeset either with the convenience of the {{USS}} template or with wiki markup by hand as:

PS Mexico, a sidewheel paddle steamer, see
USS General Bragg (1851)

I hope that helps you to improve this dab page. 69.115.42.244 (talk) 11:19, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
