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:
| Template | Output |
|---|---|
{{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
|

{{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
|

{{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}

{{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
|
Joe Bloggs

{{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}
|

|
Joe Schmo
(divorced) |
{{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}}
|

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).
|
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.
