Template:S-new/doc

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...
command	New command
creation	New creation
first	First
loss	Loss of title
minister	New ministerial post
post	New post
regiment	New regiment

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.
