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= (|reason=)—to produce output such as the following:

Examples

Template	Output
{{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}	John Smith ​ (m. ୧୮୯୫⁠–⁠)​
{{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}	John Doe ​ ​ (m. ୧୮୮୫; died )​
{{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}	Jane Doe ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨)​
{{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}	John Q. Public ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨⁠–⁠)​
{{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}} {{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}	John Q. Citizen ​ ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨; div. )​ ​ ​ (m. ୨୦୧୨)​
{{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}	John Q. Taxpayer ​ ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨, divorced)​
{{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}	Joe Blow ​ (div. )​
{{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}	Joe Bloggs ​ (before )​
{{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}	Joe Sixpack ​ (until )​
{{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}	Joe Schmo ​ (divorced)​
{{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}}	Juan Perez ​ (after ୨୦୧୦)​

Use of the first two parameters with |end= (|reason=) will cause a line break between the name and the start date.

In an infobox

{{Infobox person}}
ବୈବାହିକ-ସାଥୀs	John Smith ​ (m. ୧୮୯୫⁠–⁠)​ John Doe ​ ​ (m. ୧୮୮୫; died )​ Jane Doe ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨)​ John Q. Public ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨⁠–⁠)​ John Q. Citizen ​ ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨; div. )​ ​ ​ (m. ୨୦୧୨)​ John Q. Taxpayer ​ ​ (m. ୨୦୦୨, divorced)​ Joe Blow ​ (div. )​ Joe Bloggs ​ (before )​ Joe Sixpack ​ (until )​ Joe Schmo ​ (divorced)​ Juan Perez ​ (after ୨୦୧୦)​

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 |spouse = {{Plainlist|
* {{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
* {{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
* {{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
* {{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}
* {{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}
* {{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}} }}
}}

Syntax and parameters

{{marriage |ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Thin space|ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Thin space|ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Thin space[|ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Thin space]}}

Parameter	Description
<text>	(First unnamed parameter) Some text—usually a spouse's name—preceding the parenthesis carrying the marriage date/s, etc. This parameter may be omitted, typically for a remarriage to the same spouse.
<start date>	(Second unnamed parameter) Year or full date when the marriage began. Only the year will be displayed. If a full date is provided, it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{Tooltip}}. (See first and second examples above.)
<end date>	(Third unnamed parameter) Year or full date when the marriage ended. Only the year will be displayed. If a full date is provided, it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{Tooltip}}. (See first and second examples above.) If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Insource.
|end= or |reason=	Reason for marriage's end. If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Insource; use of ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Dc or ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Dc for this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion). ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Bxtn, ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Bxtn, or ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Bxtn includes ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Xtn within the parentheses if the marriage ended on the spouse's death. ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Bxtn, ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Bxtn, or ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Bxtn includes ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Xtn or ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Xtn within the parentheses. Otherwise, |end=value includes customized text. For example: {{marriage |Miss Doe |January 1, 1882 |December 31, 1905 |end=annulled}} which produces: Miss Doe ​ ​ (m. ୧୮୮୨; annulled )​ ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Qnote

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.
