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

Template:Markup

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

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: <syntaxhighlight style="font-size:small;" lang="wikitext">

</syntaxhighlight>

Syntax and parameters

Template:((marriage |Template:Thin space|Template:Thin space|Template:Thin space[|Template:Thin space]Template:))

Template:Aligned table

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.
