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[Edit template data]
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">

</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 |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., {{Tooltip}}.
