image = i.e. X.jpg, that is to say no [[Image:
image_size = Size to display image: 200px (set width), x300px (set height), or 200x300px (max width & max height). This defaults to frameless (default is 220px, but logged in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size) if empty or omitted. This parameter should not normally need to be set.
alt = Alt text for the image, for visually impaired readers see WP:ALT
caption = Details of artist and year, for instance see WP:CAP
succession fields
succession = Primary substantive hereditary title (regarding the following fields, "reign" 'til "suc-type"; omit the "title" field if the two would be identical)
moretext = An explanatory note about the "succession", already in <small>s — such as a link to full titles (dependent upon "succession")
reign = D Month YYYY – D Month YYYY (or other appropriate format per MOS:DATE#Dates; for monarchs and their consorts (although dates may differ between the two))
reign-type = Optional alternative text for 'Reign' (dependent upon "reign")
coronation = D Month YYYY (or other appropriate format per MOS:DATE#Dates; for monarchs and their consorts)
cor-type = Optional alternative text for 'Coronation', such as 'Investiture' (dependent upon "coronation"). Automatically links to country-specific article if one of the following values is entered:
  • britain
  • france
  • hre
  • hungary
  • japan
  • malaysia
  • norway
  • ottoman
  • poland
  • russia
predecessor = For use in succession whose titles are entirely and directly hereditary. Link should be piped as appropriate — when it is reasonably clear that the person in context is a (e.g.) King of Scots, he may be linked as "James II" rather than "James II of Scotland".

regent = Any regents of the monarch in their role in this succession only; listed by most common name/title, most recent first, using {{unbulleted list}}.

suc-type = Optional alternative text for 'Successor'. e.g. 'Heir-Apparent' or 'Heir-Presumptive' (dependent upon "successor")
"succession" to "suc-type" repeated as "successionX" to "suc-typeX" for 1–9
birth_name = If different from name or full name
birth_date =
birth_place = Residence, Town/City/County/Region/Country (although almost invariably Country is obvious) HOWEVER, TAKE CARE TO AVOID FLAGCRUFT (dependent upon "date of birth")
death_date =
death_place = See "birth_place", m.m. (dependent upon "death_date")
burial_date = See "birth_date", m.m.
burial_place = See "birth_place", m.m. (dependent upon "burial_place")
spouse fields
consort =
  • yes, if the subject is the consort of any monarch — effects "reign"
  • no, which is the default if the field is omitted
spouse = Husbands/wives only; listed by most common name/title, in chronological order, using {{unbulleted list}}, and dates if needed, e.g. (m. 2004; div. 2006). Break dates onto a new line if more visually appropriate
spouse-type = Optional alternative text for 'Spouse' (no plurals needed)
repeated as "spouseX" and "spouseX-type" for 1–9
issue = Children in order of birth, using {{unbulleted list}}; listed by name and highest shorthand title (e.g. Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex), no need for preceding styles (e.g. HM). Individuals without articles and/or who died as infants may be omitted from the list on an arbitrary basis. See also note for 'predecessor'.
issue-link = Creates small link to a section in the article for further details on offspring (dependent upon "issue")
issue-pipe = Changes the output text of the above link (dependent upon "issue-link")
full name = English/Anglicised full legal non-titular name (current/most recent), with maiden name '(née Whatever)' and translation in their native/official tongue(s) on a new line (each) underneath (use a ''{{lang-XX|}}'' Multilingual support template)

house-type = Optional alternative text for 'Royal house', such as 'Dynasty' or 'Family' (dependent upon "house")
father = Most common shorthand title, no need for preceding styles (e.g. HM). May include multiple individuals, such as (Biological), (Adoptive) or (Hanai). See also note for 'predecessor'.
mother = As "father", m.m.
occupation = Primary non-royal occupations, listed most recent first (if the subject is deceased there's no need for 'prev.') e.g. 'Theatre; prev. Broadcasting' (alive), or 'Military; Author' (dead)
signature_type = A label to replace the default 'Signature', e.g. Tughra for Ottoman sultans
signature = X.jpg, being an image of the subject's personal signature

Notes[edit source]

Peer wikilinks
The wikilinks of substantive peers (or those in another kind of numbered succession) should always show that number (eg Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall rather than Richard, Earl of Cornwall), unless other conventions say otherwise (such as that one should always see Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, never Prince Edward, 2nd Duke of Kent). Generally, use the article's title, omitting surplus fore- and surnames or disambiguation.
