Template:Freemason

All parameters, vertical format

just copy, paste into the top of the target page, fill in, & done.

Fields not filled will not appear

{{Template:Freemason
|Lodge1 = 
|Lodge2 = 
|Lodge3 = 
|Initiated = 
|Passed = 
|Raised = 
|Source1 = 
|Source2 = 
}}

So, this form, as-is, will produce this output

{{Template:Freemason
|Lodge1 = 
|Lodge2 = 
|Lodge3 = 
|Initiated = 
|Passed = 
|Raised = 
|Source1 = 
|Source2 = 
}}
}}

So, the following form, filled out for George Washington, will produce this output

{{Template:Freemason
|Lodge1 = Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4, Virginia
|Lodge2 = 
|Lodge3 = 
|Initiated = November 4, 1752 at Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4
|Passed = March 3, 1753 at Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4
