Usage

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Marriage in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Marriage

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 provide the reason for the end of the marriage.

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Spouse's name	1	Name of the person to whom the subject married. May be omitted, typically for remarriages to the same spouse.	String	suggested
Date married	2	Date the marriage began.	Date	suggested
Date ended	3	Date the marriage was dissolved or the spouse of the article's subject died.	Date	optional
Reason marriage ended	end reason	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. Suggested values died divorced separated annulled	String	optional

Examples and usage notes

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">

• 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 |end= (|reason=) 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., Template:Tla.
