Usage[edit]
This template is intended for use in infoboxes; specifically {{Infobox person}} and templates calling Infobox person.
{{Marriage}} takes up to three unnamed parameters (name, start date, end date)—plus an optional named parameter |end=—to produce output such as the following:
- John Smith (m. 1895–1905)
- John Doe
(m. 1885; died 1888) - Jane Doe (m. 2002)
- John Q. Public (m. 2002–2010)
- John Q. Citizen
(m. 2002; div. 2010) - John Q. Taxpayer
(m. 2002, divorced) - Joe Blow (div. 2010)
- Joe the Plumber (before 2010)
The above were produced by:
{{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}{{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}{{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}{{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}{{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}{{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}{{marriage |Joe Blow| |2010|end=div}}{{marriage |Joe the Plumber| |2010}}
Use of |end= will cause a line break between the name and the dates.
In an infobox[edit]
{{Infobox person}} | |
|---|---|
| Spouse(s) |
|
Infoboxes already reduce text size to 88%, and MOS:FONTSIZE sets a lower limit for text size at 85% of the normal page font size, so it is not appropriate to use font size reduction when this template is used in an infobox. The example here is produced by:
{{Infobox person |spouse = {{Plainlist|
* {{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
* {{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
* {{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Blow| |2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe the Plumber| |2010}}}}
}}
Syntax and parameters[edit]
{{marriage | <text> | <start date> | <end date> [| end= ]}}
| Parameter | Description |
| <text> | Some text—usually a spouse's name—preceding the parenthesis carrying the marriage date/s, etc. |
| Only the year within each of these will be displayed. If either has more information (e.g., month, day), it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{Hover title}}. (See first and third examples above.) |
| end | Reason for marriage's end.
Otherwise,
w, w., wid, wid., widow, or widowed is deprecated. See Category:Marriage template errors. |
