Ship Infobox Usage guide is a comprehensive guide for both beginners and more experienced editors for the use of {{Infobox ship}}. While not an official Wikipedia Guideline, it was put together by members of WikiProject Ships to make contributing easier for those not familiar with nautical terminology and to reduce misunderstandings, stylistic conflicts and the need of later copy editing. Although mainly based on Wikipedia's Manual of Style, existing good-rated ship articles, and factual definitions, the guide also contains stylistic hints by the authors that may not represent the consensus of other WP:SHIPS contributors.
