Usage
This template is intended for use in infoboxes; specifically {{Infobox person}} and templates calling Infobox person.
{{Marriage}} takes up to three unnamed parameters (name, start date, end date)—plus an optional named parameter |end=
—to produce output such as the following:
The above were produced by:
{{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
{{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
{{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}
{{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}
{{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
{{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}
{{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
{{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}
{{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
{{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--unknown-->}}
{{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}
{{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|<!--uncertain-->}}
Use of |end=
will cause a line break between the name and the start date.

Infoboxes already reduce text size to 88%, and MOS:FONTSIZE sets a lower limit for text size at 85% of the normal page font size, so it is not appropriate to use font size reduction when this template is used in an infobox. The example here is produced by:
{{Infobox person |spouse = {{Plainlist|
* {{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
* {{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
* {{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
* {{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--unknown-->}}
* {{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}
* {{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|<!--uncertain-->}} }}
}}
Syntax and parameters
