Template:S-dis/doc

This template creates a single succession box center column to be used with succession boxes for the function of listing titular titles (claimed titles with no associated authority).

Usage

The format is {{s-dis|title=enter title here|years=enter years title was held here|parameter=}}, where parameter= can be used optionally for any of the additional parameters listed in the following table.

All succession boxes using this template should have the header Template:s-reg. Dates should be inclusive of the entire disputed reign and successors of a disputed claim should, in most cases, be listed as pretenders using Template:s-tul.

reason — Use this to provide a brief description of the reasons behind the disputed title. Be sure to wikilink any events.

This template allows for multiple row-spans using the parameter |rows=| between the template name and the first parameter.

Example

From the Louis VIII of France article:

{{S-start}}
{{S-reg|}}
{{s-bef|before=[[John of England|John]]}}
{{s-dis|title=[[King of England]]|years=2 June 1216 – 20 Sep 1217|by=[[John of England|John]] and [[Henry III of England|Henry III]]|reason=[[First Barons' War]]|start=1216|end=1217}}
