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=
—to produce output such as the following:
John Smith (m. 1895–Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)John Doe
(m. 1885; died Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)Jane Doe (m. 2002)John Q. Public (m. 2002–Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)John Q. Citizen
(m. 2002; div. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)
(m. 2012) | John Q. Taxpayer
(m. 2002, divorced)Joe Blow (div. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)Joe Bloggs (m. before Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)Joe Sixpack (m. until Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)Joe Schmo (divorced)Juan Perez (m. after 2010) |

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="html">

Syntax and parameters
{{marriage | <text> | <start date> | <end date> [| end= ]}}
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., {{Hover title}}. (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., {{Hover title}}. (See first and second examples above.) If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, do not provide a date. |
|end= or |reason= | Reason for marriage's end. If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, do not provide a reason; use of
Miss Doe
(m. 1882; annulled Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)
|
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.
