From CruisersWiki

This template is to be used for passages. For example For example Aegean to West Mediterranean Passages, Trans-Atlantic, Europe to Caribbean, etc.

Note: There is a newer template Passage2 that is simpler and less error prone than this one. You may consider using it instead.

The items in this template are for your guidance and assure a certain homogeneity and consistency across the CruisersWiki but are not cast in concrete. Use your judgment.

Items in magenta are to be substituted including the {{MagentaText|xx}} template or the <span style="color:Magenta">xx</span>.

Please remove instructions in green, including these lines, after reading them. Also, keep in mind that this template is Protected which means that you cannot alter it, however, if you think that any changes to the template are desirable, contact the wiki administrators by making an entry describing the proposed changes and your reason in the discussion (second right button at the top of this page).

COPY all of the dashed box below and paste it on the newly created passage page:
