Template:Boeing model/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Boeing model.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used to format Boeing aircraft model numbers in such a way that they are not mistaken for number ranges. Many Boeing arcraft are designated with model numbers which include one or more hyphens. This format is often mistaken for a number range by editors, and as such the hyphen is often incorrectly replaced with and en dash per MOS:RANGE, especially by automated or semi-automated editing tools such as AutoWikiBrowser.

Usage

{{Boeing model|737|800}} → 737-800
{{Boeing model|707|386C}} → 707-386C
{{Boeing model|345|9|6}} → 345-9-6

This template supports up to four parameters to be separated by hyphens.
