Template:Officeholder

Shell Note: everything except for religion and state need to be manually linked Note: leave successor blank if there is no successor Note: always double check the output - sometimes a "the" will be needed (especially for mayor of a city - "the District of Columbia") Note: preceded does not refer to who the subject preceded, but rather the predecessor. (so, on the page for "A" preceded="B" means is the predecessor) The officers parameter of this template encloses the other two templates ... so with indentation: {{Officeholder |name= |image= |party= |spouse= |religion= |offices= {{Officeholder/president |country= |number= |terms= |vp= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/vice president |country= |number= |terms= |president= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/governor |number= |state= |terms= |lieutenant=(y or n) (OR the lieutenant governor's name) |governor= (If lieutenant) |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/senator |state= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/representative |state= |district= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/mayor |number= |city= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/Supreme Court Justice |role=(Associate or Chief) |nominator= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/ambassador |for= |to= |president= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/attorneygeneral |jurisdiction=(state/country) |number= |deputy=(y or n) |governor=(Leave blank if on federal level) |president= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/secretary (cabinet) |of= |state=(if fed leave blank) |number= |deputy=(y or n) |governor=(Leave blank if on federal level) |president= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/chairman |party= |number= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/sheriff |county= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} {{Officeholder/misc |office= |terms= |preceded= |former=(y or n) |succeeded= }} |military=(y or n) #if not military leave all these out |allegiance= |branch= |serviceyears= |rank= |unit= |commands= |battles= |awards= }}
