Difference between revisions of "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:
