Template:S-new

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:S-new/doc. (edit | history)

This template creates a single succession box column to be used with succession boxes.

Usage

The format is {{s-new|parameter}}, where parameter is replaced by one of the parameter names shown in the following table. The use of a parameter is optional.

value	Replaces "New title" with...
creation	New creation
party	New political party
district	New district
division	New division
constituency	New constituency
institution	New institution
seat	New seat
diocese	New diocese
regiment	New regiment
loss	Loss of title
first	First

Note: Only one parameter can be used in a single line of code.

In addition, the parameter, reason, may be used to designate the reason(s) for the title (or loss); enter a short explanation after entering this parameter, if necessary.

This template allows for multiple row-spans using the parameter |rows=| between the template name and the first parameter.
