| File:Ambox warning yellow.svg | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
| Warning | This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

Usage
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=" to provide the reason for the end of the marriage.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spouse's name | 1 | Name of the person to whom the subject married. May be omitted, typically for remarriages to the same spouse. | String | suggested |
| Date married | 2 | Date the marriage began. | Date | suggested |
| Date ended | 3 | Date the marriage was dissolved or the spouse of the article's subject died. | Date | optional |
| Reason marriage ended | end reason | Reason for marriage's end. Suggested reasons are automatically abbreviated. If the marriage ended due to death of article's subject, do not provide a reason.
| String | optional |
Examples and usage notes
{{Infobox person}} | |
|---|---|
| Spouses | John Smith (m. 1895–Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)John Doe
(m. 1885; died Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)Jane Doe (m. 2002)John Q. Public (m. 2002–Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[".)John Q. Citizen
(m. 2002; div. Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[".)
(m. 2012)John Q. Taxpayer
(m. 2002, divorced)Joe Blow (div. Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[".)Joe Bloggs (before Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[".)Joe Sixpack (until Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[".)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">

</syntaxhighlight>
- 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.
- Use of the first two parameters with
|end=(|reason=) will cause a line break between the name and the start date. - Use of Template:Dc or Template:Dc for this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion).
- If the marriage ended with the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource.
- For either date parameter, only the year will be displayed; if a full date is provided, it is included via a tooltip; i.e., Template:Tla.
