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

(m. 1885; died 1888)Jane Doe (m. 2002)John Q. Public (m. 2002–2010)John Q. Citizen
(m. 2002; div. 2010)
(m. 2012)John Q. Taxpayer
(m. 2002, divorced)Joe Blow (div. 2010)Joe Bloggs (before 2010)Joe Sixpack (until 2010)Joe Schmo (divorced)Juan Perez (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="wikitext">
