Template:Marriage/doc

From SPCodex, The Smashing Pumpkins wiki

Usage[edit source]

This template is intended for use in infoboxes; specifically {{Infobox personnel}}.

{{Marriage}} takes up to three unnamed parameters (name, start date, end date)—plus an optional named parameter |end= (also called |reason=)—to produce output such as the following:

Examples
Template Output
{{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
John Smith
(m. 1895⁠–⁠Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)
{{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
John Doe
(m. 1885; died Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)
{{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}
Jane Doe
(m. 2002)
{{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}
John Q. Public
(m. 2002⁠–⁠Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".)
{{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
{{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}
John Q. Citizen
(m. 2002; div. Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".)
(m. 2012)
{{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
John Q. Taxpayer
(m. 2002, divorced)
{{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}
Joe Blow
(div. Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".)
{{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
Joe Bloggs
(before Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".)
{{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}
Joe Sixpack
(until Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".)
{{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}
Joe Schmo
(divorced)
{{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}}
Juan Perez
(after 2010)

Use of the first two parameters with |end= (|reason=) will cause a line break between the name and the start date.

In an infobox[edit source]

Template:Infobox person 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. Citizen-->|2012}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
* {{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}
* {{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}
* {{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}} }}
}}

Syntax and parameters[edit source]

{{marriage | <text> | <start date> | <end date> [| end= ]}}

Parameter Description
<text> (First unnamed parameter) Some text—usually a spouse's name—preceding the parenthesis carrying the marriage date/s, etc. This parameter may be omitted, typically for a remarriage to the same spouse.
<start date> (Second unnamed parameter) Year or full date when the marriage began. Only the year will be displayed. If a full date is provided, it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{Tooltip}}. (See first and second examples above.)
<end date> (Third unnamed parameter) Year or full date when the marriage ended. Only the year will be displayed. If a full date is provided, it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{Tooltip}}. (See first and second examples above.) If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource.
|end= or |reason= Reason for marriage's end. If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource; use of Template:Dc or Template:Dc for this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion).
{{marriage |Miss Doe |January 1, 1882 |December 31, 1905 |end=annulled}} which produces:
Miss Doe
(m. 1882; annulled Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)
Template:Qnote

None of the parameters are required on their own, but if a template is missing all three of start date, end date, and reason, an error message will be displayed.
