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:

Jane Doe (m. 1895–1905)

Fred Smith (m. 2010)

Jane Smith (m. 1885; d. 1888)

Frank Lee & Aynee Text (m. 2002–2013)

The above were produced by:

{{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 & Aynee Text |2002 |2013}}

In an infobox

Infoboxes already reduce text size to 88%, and 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 & Aynee Text |2002 |2013}}
  }}
}}

Syntax and parameters

{{marriage |Template:Thinsp|Template:Thinsp|Template:Thinsp[|Template:Thinsp]}}

Parameter	Description
<text>	Some text – usually a spouse's name – preceding the parenthesis carrying the marriage date/s, etc.
<start date> <end date>	Only the year within each of these will be displayed. If either has more information (e.g., month, day), it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{Abbr}}. (See first and third examples above.)
end	Reason for marriage's end. `d`, `d.`, or `died` includes d. within the parentheses if the marriage ended on the death of the spouse. `div`, `div.`, or `divorced` includes div. within the parentheses. Otherwise, `\|end=item` includes customised text. For example: `{{marriage \|Miss Doe \|January 1, 1882 \|December 31, 1905 \|end=annulled}}` which produces: Miss Doe (m. 1882; annulled 1905) Use of the values `w`, `w.`, `wid`, `wid.`, `widow`, or `widowed` is deprecated.
