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:
Use of the first two parameters with |end= (|reason=) will cause a line break between the name and the start date.
In an infobox
| Spouses | |
|---|---|
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">

| Spouses | |
</syntaxhighlight>
Syntax and parameters
Template:((marriage |Template:Thin space|Template:Thin space|Template:Thin space[|Template:Thin space]Template:))
| 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., Template:Tla. (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., Template:Tla. (See first and second examples above.) If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource. |
|end= or |reason= | Reason for marriage's end. If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource; use of Template:Dc or Template:Dc for this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion).
|
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.
