Usage[edit source]

Template:TemplateData header <templatedata>{ "format": "inline", "description": "Intended for use in Infoboxes, specifically Template:Infobox person and templates calling Infobox person.\n\n

(Template:Error-small)

takes up to three unnamed parameters (name, start date, end date) plus an optional named parameter \"end=\" to provide the reason for the end of the marriage.",

   "params": {

"1": { "label": "Spouse's name", "description": "Name of the person to whom the subject married. May be omitted, typically for remarriages to the same spouse.", "type": "string", "suggested": true }, "2": { "label": "Date married", "description": "Date the marriage began.", "type": "date", "suggested": true }, "3": { "label": "Date ended", "description": "Date the marriage was dissolved or the spouse of the article's subject died.", "type": "date", "required": false }, "end": { "label": "Reason marriage ended", "description": "Reason for marriage's end. Suggested reasons are automatically abbreviated. If the marriage ended due to death of article's subject, do not provide a reason.", "type": "string", "required": false, "aliases": [ "reason" ], "suggestedvalues": [ "died", "divorced", "separated", "annulled" ] } } }</templatedata>

Examples and usage notes[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: <syntaxhighlight style="font-size:small;" lang="wikitext"> Template:Infobox person </syntaxhighlight>

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.
Use of the first two parameters with Template:Para (Template:Para) will cause a line break between the name and the start date.
Use of Template:Dc or Template:Dc for this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion).
If the marriage ended with the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource.
For either date parameter, only the year will be displayed; if a full date is provided, it is included via a tooltip; i.e., {{Tooltip}}.
