Questionable... edit
Someone used {{HMS|Poictiers|1809|2}} and {{HMS|Acasta|1797|2}} for these Royal Navy vessels. This renders as Poictiers and Acasta.
However, the usual way of describing RN vessels, [[HMS Poictiers (1809)|HMS ''Poictiers'']] would render as HMS Poictiers. As I read this article I was puzzled? Were Poictiers and Acasta RN vessels?
No one is going to object to using sensibly written templates, so long as they work right, and are used right.
However, IMO, either the template is broken, or it is not being used right.
There is a principle in engineering and related disciplines, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I think this template breaks that principle. 00:08, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
