Template:Incumbent pope

Maintenance

Following the death or the resignation of the reigning pope, please update both {{Incumbent pope}} and {{Incumbent pope 2}} to ''[[Sede vacante]]'' until a new pope is elected. When the name of the new pope is announced, update {{Incumbent pope}} to [[Pope <papal name>|<papal name>]] and {{Incumbent pope 2}} to [[Pope <papal name>|Pope <papal name>]]. The Roman numeral, if there is one, should be preceded with a non-breaking space ( ) in the piped-link text, as per the guideline at MOS:NBSP.

Example:

[[Pope John XXIII|John XXIII]] produces "John XXIII".

[[Pope John XXIII|Pope John XXIII]] produces "Pope John XXIII".
