Template:S-ttl/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template creates a single succession box center column to be used with succession boxes for the function of listing titles.

[edit] Usage

The format is {{s-ttl|title=enter title here|years=enter years title was held here|parameter=}}, where parameter= can be used optionally for any of the additional parameters listed in the following table.

district — For use with parliamentary offices. Insert as a wikilink the district represented during the tenure in office.

regent1 (or regent 2, or regent 3) AND years1 (or years2, or years3) — These parameters can be used when an office is held in tandem with another person. Examples of this include co-rulers of a country or region and regencies. It does not include consorts or sub-positions such as vice presidencies. The "years" parameter should only contain years, not days or months, but all other guidelines rules apply.

alongside — This parameter is reserved for political positions where two people share power, such as US senators.

lords — Designates that the person was a member of the House of Lords. The parameter is asking for the dates they served in the house.

creation — Adds a sub-line beneath the title that allows for a "creation" number for certain noble titles (such as the Dukes of Cornwall).

dynasty — Adds a sub-line beneath the title that allows for a "dynasty" number for certain royal dynastic lines (such as the Pharaohs of Egypt).

This template allows for multiple row-spans using the parameter |rows=| between the template name and the first parameter.
