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= (also called |reason=)—to produce output such as the following:

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

In an infobox

{{Infobox person}}
Spouses	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)​ ​ ​ (m. 2012)​ John Q. Taxpayer ​ ​ (m. 2002, divorced)​ Joe Blow ​ (div. 2010)​ Joe Bloggs ​ (before 2010)​ Joe Sixpack ​ (until 2010)​ Joe Schmo ​ (divorced)​ Juan Perez ​ (after 2010)​

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

Template:((marriage | <text> | <start date> | <end date> [| end= ]}}
