Wikipedia:Incumbent series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Biographies of incumbents (monarchs, popes, presidents, prime ministers) are often linked together by boxes, including the predecessor and successor. For other series of articles, see Wikipedia:Article series.

A sample from Moritz Leuenberger, as discussed on Talk:List of members of the Swiss Federal Council:

Preceded by Member of the Swiss Federal Council
1995-
Succeeded by
n.a. (still in office)

{{s-ttl|title= [[Member of the Swiss Federal Council]]|years=1995-}}
{{s-aft|after= ''n.a. (still in office)''}}
{{s-end}}

This structure can also work for any long chain of items:
