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. ⁠–⁠)

Jane Smith

(m. 1885; died )

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

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}}
  }}
}}

Syntax and parameters

{{marriage | <text> | <start date> | <end date> [| end= ]}}

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., {{Hover title}}. (See first and third examples above.)
end	Reason for marriage's end. `d`, `d.`, or `died` includes died within the parentheses if the marriage ended on the death of the spouse. `div`, `div.`, or `divorced` includes div. or divorced 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; ann. 2031) Use of the values `w`, `w.`, `wid`, `wid.`, `widow`, or `widowed` is deprecated.
