Purpose[edit]
To show gross register tonnage in a consistent manner that is compliant with WP:MOSNUM. In particular it:
- standardizes capitalization and spelling (i.e. GRT, Grt, grt, G.R.T., g.r.t. and so forth),
- standardizes the link to the definition,
- links to gross register tonnage on the first use in an article,
- uses the abbreviation GRT, i.e. "XXX GRT" on subsequent uses in the article,
- inserts where needed
Note! For ships built on or after 18 July 1982, use {{GT}}.
Usage[edit]
{{GRT|number|disp=|link=}}

|disp=longcreates a verbose description suitable for the first occurrence on a page{{GRT|36,000|disp=long}}→ 36,000 gross register tons (GRT)
|disp=adjcreates the adjectival form:{{GRT|36,000|disp=adj}}→ 36,000-gross register ton (GRT)
- link: controls when the template output is linked to the gross register tonnage article
