Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 33,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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

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.
<`start date`> <`end date`>	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. `d`, `d.`, or `died` includes died within the parentheses if the marriage ended on the death of the spouse. `div`, `div.`, or `divorced` includes div. or divorced within the parentheses. Otherwise, `\|end=item` includes customised text. For example: `{{marriage \|Miss Doe \|January 1, 1882 \|December 31, 1905 \|end=annulled}}` which produces: Miss Doe (m. 1882; ann. 1905) Use of the values `w`, `w.`, `wid`, `wid.`, `widow`, or `widowed` is deprecated. See Category:Marriage template errors.
