Purpose

The Succession templates are collectively used to show when a person held a specific title, who had it before them, after them, and when they held it. While the purpose of these templates are to show what characters ruled which states and when, it is plausible to use them for real people as well (for example, the BattleTech line developer).

Use

• Use "{{S-start}}". This sets up the format and begins the box.
• Use "{{S-bef}}" for the person who came before. The first parameter, "rows", denotes how large the box will be. The second, "before", denotes the character that came before. A completed template should read something like "{{S-bef|rows=1|before=dead person}}".
• Use "{{S-title}}" for the position. The first parameter, "rows", denotes how large the box will be, "title", is the title in question, while the third, "years", is the years that the title was held. A completed template should read something like "{{S-title|title=leader|years=3001-3002}}".
• Use "{{S-aft}}" to note a successor. The first parameter, "rows", denotes how large the box will be, while "after" is the successor. A completed template should read something like, "{{S-aft|rows=1|after=child}}".
• Finally, use {{S-end}} to complete it.
