Template:Succession table monarch/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is intended to standardise monarchical succession tables.

A full listing of parameters follows, with X being replaced by the appropriate row number.

{{Succession table monarch
| nameX       = <!-- Mandatory otherwise entire row will not display. -->
| nicknameX   = 
| nativeX     = 
| lifeX       = 
| reignstartX = 
| reignendX   = 
| notesX      = 
| familyX     = 
| imageX      = Example.jpg
| altX        = 
| refX        =
}}

Name

[edit]

The name parameter is mandatory when adding a new row otherwise the entire row will not display. If the name is unknown but other information is, simply enter "Unknown" as the name. It is recommended that the name by which the monarch is generally known be bolded.

East Asian monarchs

[edit]

For East Asian monarchies, where sovereigns customarily had several names, use the sub-template {{Succession table monarch/Orient}} in the name parameter.

Parameters in this sub-template follow:

{{Succession table monarch/Orient
| ReignName    = <!-- Reign name -->
| ReignNameNa  = <!-- Reign name in native language -->
| TempleName   = <!-- Temple name -->
| TempleNameNa = <!-- Temple name in native language -->
| KhanName     = <!-- Khan name -->
| KhanNameNa   = <!-- Khan name in native language -->
| CourtName    = <!-- Courtesy name -->

| EraName      = <!-- Era name -->
| EraNameNa    = <!-- Era name in native language -->
| PostName     = <!-- Posthumous name -->
| PostNameNa   = <!-- Posthumous name in native language -->
| GivenName    = <!-- Personal name -->
| GivenNameNa  = <!-- Personal name in native language -->
| PsName       = <!-- Pseudonym -->
| PsNameNa     = <!-- Pseudonym in native language -->
}}

Egypt

[edit]

For Egypt and related states, use the sub-template {{Succession table monarch/Egypt}} in the name parameter.

Parameters in this sub-template follow.

{{Succession table monarch/Egypt
| Common       = <!-- Name in general usage -->
| Horus        = <!-- Horus name -->
| Nebty        = <!-- Nebty (Two Ladies) name -->
| GoldHorus    = <!-- Golden Horus name -->
| Praenomen    = <!-- Praenomen or Throne name -->
| Nomen        = <!-- Nomen or Personal name -->
}}

Optional parameters

[edit]
nicknameX
The person's main nickname. It is automatically italicised.
nativeX
The person's name in their native language or languages. Where appropriate, use a multilingual support template such as {{Lang-no}} or {{Lang-uz}}.
lifeX
For preference, use an age calculation template here rather than bare dates.
reignstartX
Date or year the person's reign commenced. Otherwise enter "unknown".
reignendX
Date or year the person's reign ended. Otherwise, enter "unknown" or "incumbent", as applicable.
notesX
This space is mainly for succession information, but other significant data can be added as long as it is succinct. For longer notes, either use ref tags to create a Notes section later in the article, or add it to the appropriate article rather than here.
Examples of information that can be added:
"Son of..."
"Elected after disputed succession"
"Second reign"
"First female sovereign"
familyX
Name of dynasty/house/family. Can be used in cases of elective succession as well as the commoner dynastic succession.
imageX
Image size is set at 80px. Square brackets are not needed.
altX
Alternative text for image.
