Template:Marriage/doc

From Soutar36

Usage

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:

(m. 1895⁠–⁠1905)
Jane Smith
(m. 1885; died 1888)
Fred Smith
(m. 2002)
Fred Smith
(m. 2002⁠–⁠2010)
Fred Smith
(m. 2002; div. 2010)

The above were produced by:

{{marriage |[[John Doe|Jane Doe]] |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
{{marriage |Jane Smith |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
{{marriage |Fred Smith |2002}}
{{marriage |Fred Smith |2002|2010}}
{{marriage |Fred Smith |2002|2010|end=div}}

In an infobox

Infobox person
Spouses
  • (m. 1895⁠–⁠1905)
  • Fred Smith
    (m. 2010)
  • Jane Smith
    (m. 1885; died 1888)
  • Frank Lee
    (m. 2002, divorced)

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|name=Infobox person |spouse = {{Unbulleted list
  | {{marriage |[[John Doe|Jane Doe]] |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
  | {{marriage |Fred Smith |2010}}
  | {{marriage |Jane Smith |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
  | {{marriage |Frank Lee |2002 |end=div}}
  }}
}}
