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.

Usage

[edit]

The format is {{s-ttl|title=enter title here|years=enter years title was held here|parameter=}}, where parameter= can be any of the optional parameters listed below.

Usage note: Any parameter displayed in italics or bold in the example below must not contain line breaks in the wikitext; for values with multiple lines, use <br /> instead of a manual line break.

  • order (optional) — Indicates the nth person to hold a given office. For use with offices that have a recognized sequence. E.g. 28th
  • district (optional) — For use with parliamentary offices. Insert as a wikilink the district represented during the tenure in office.
  • dynasty (optional) — Adds a sub-line beneath the title that allows for a "dynasty" number for certain royal dynastic lines (such as the Pharaohs of Egypt).

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.
