In multiple row tables (see relevant section) it is necessary to add |- after a line that ends with this template, so that the computer can recognise the new row.
Titles and offices[தொகு]
The s-bef and s-aft templates are not the only ones to be substituted in occasions. There are two alternatives to the simple s-ttl template, for the event when a person does not hold a title in the usual way.
Often in history, some offices were held by more than one person at a time. The most common example of this is a regency, when a monarch rules with the aide of another person, like the joint occupation of the throne of England by Mary II and her husband, William III, from their accession in 1989 until her death in 1694. The standard s-ttl template is used in this case, and the regents are entered in the way demonstrated below.
The inclusion of the regents is always optional, as are the dates of their reign and those of the title holder's reign. This template currently supports up to three regents, as there can be more than one regent at a time, or a regent may be succeeded by another. In order to allow the reader make sense from complex regencies, inclusion of dates is at least preferred in such cases.
Template:s-reg (with others)
- {{s-start}}
- {{s-bef|before=Insert predecessor here}}
- {{s-ttl|title=Title of person|years=Insert years here
::<nowiki>|regent1=Title of regent|years1=Insert years here}}
- |regent2=Title of regent|years2=Insert years here}}
- |regent3=Title of regent|years3=Insert years here}}
- {{s-aft|after=Insert successor here}}
- {{end}}

There are two categories of people who have regnal titles but not the power connected to them: titular rulers and pretenders.
Titular rulers are people who legitimately deserve a title yet are somehow incapable of securing it, as in the case of Louis XVII of France, heir to the throne during the early years of the French Revolution. Titular rulers generally mean that their title will again be inherited by someone with power and remains only temporarily suspended. There is generally only one titular claimant to a title.
Pretenders are people who may or may not have a rightful claim to a title, but regardless do not possess any legitimate authority. Perhaps the most famous pretenders were Prince James Francis Edward Stuart and his son, Bonnie Prince Charles, who were respectively known to the Jacobites as James III and VIII and Charles III but nicknamed by others the Old Pretender and the Young Pretender. While James Stuart was the legitimate heir to his father, the Glorious Revolution irrevocably overruled that power in favour of his half-sister. Therefore, he lost his legitimacy to govern but still claimed his hereditary titles, as did his son. Pretenders are not always successive, as titular leaders generally are, and there can be multiple pretenders at the same time (as in France's Legitimists and Orleanists).
In cases of titular rulers or pretenders, use the s-tul template. It is possible to include a reason for the inability of the title-holder to exercise their power, but this is something optional. Note that a title of a titular ruler should go under the same header as of all the other holders of that title (usually, but not always, s-reg|), while any titles held in pretence should go under the appropriate header (s-pre).
Template:s-tul (with others)

- {{s-bef|before=Insert predecessor here}}
- {{s-tul|title=Title|years=Years claimed|reason=Reason why titular/pretender}}

Optional s-related templates[தொகு]In addition to the three basic templates (s-bef, s-ttl, and s-aft) and their substitutes, there are four kinds of templates that may be completely omitted from a Wikitable depending on the circumstances. They include Template:s-hou (and its simpler version, Template:s-hno), the header templates, Template:s-fam, and Template:s-cite.
This template is generally for use with monarchs or other rulers. It is placed at the top of a succession list, directly beneath the s-start, and establishes which royal house a person belongs to, giving their birth and death dates. If you do not know the day and month, leave a | and fill out the rest (leaving the space for the unknown date blank). For unknown birth or death dates, type Unknown; for living people, type Living. If there is such information available, you may also include the cadet branch information for the royal house. For more questions concerning this topic, see Cadet branch.
Template:s-hou (with others)
- {{s-start}}
- {{s-hou|Enter name of house here|Day and month of birth|Year of birth|Day and month of death|Year of death}}
- {{s-bef|before=[[Insert predecessor here]]}}
- {{s-ttl|title=[[Enter title here]]
- |years=[[Enter start date here]]–[[Enter end date here]]}}
- {{s-aft|after=[[Insert successor here]]}}
- {{end}}

In case you do not want to include any birth and death date information, you can use an alternate table produced by the template s-hno which will only ask for the house and the optional cadet branch information.
Sometimes there are no dates available for an individual. To allow for this issue, a secondary template, Template:s-hno, exists which is identical to the above minus the dates. If you do not know any dates for an individual, use this template. The cadet branch option is still available.
The question of succession often comes up in succession lists, especially in those of royal families. To trace that, Template:s-fam allows for a three-generation family tree to be added to any succession box, placing it after all the titles listed. In the third generation (the individual's grandparents), there is a second option to include the family or royal house (if any) for each individual. Wikilinks are appreciated on all family members and houses if available. All family trees must be sourced via s-cite (see below).
To add a family tree, type:
{{s-fam
|F=Type Father's name
|FF=Type Father's Father's name
|FFH=Type Father's Father's house
|FM=Type Father's Mother's name
|FMH=Type Father's Mother's house
|M=Type Mother's name
|MF=Type Mother's Father's name
|MFH=Type Mother's Father's house
|MM=Type Mother's Mother's name
|MMH=Type Mother's Mother's house
}}
It will look like this when completed:

Template:S-cite is for the purpose of sourcing a succession table. Considering the effort put by Wikipedia to qualify all articles on the site, this template should be used in all succession boxes whenever possible. It is designed to host individual references based on whatever medium preferred, except, of course, other Wikipedia article links; Wikipedia should not be used to verify itself. To use:
After completing a succession box, instead of end, type the following:
{{s-cite|Write out source 1 here|Write out source 2 here|Write out source 3 here}}
After adding, you do not need to add Template:end to close the succession box, as that is included in this template.
It will result in this added to the bottom of any succession box:

வார்ப்புரு:S-cite
There are various headers that can be placed in Wikitables to sort the various titles into categories. Although they are usually used in multiple row tables in order to distinguish the various titles and lessen the feeling of confusion created to the reader by a large table, they might be used for plain, one-row tables as well.
Some of these headers can be further specialised with the use of parameters (e.g. s-par|us produces "Congress of the United States", while s-par|eu produces "European Parliament"). Further information about the use of headers and the categorisation of titles in general can be found here.
The headers are:
- {{s-aca}} — Academic offices (Senior positions in major institutions)
- {{s-awards}} — Awards (Prestigious regular awards like Academy Awards etc.)
- {{s-bus}} — Business positions (CEOs of large corporations etc.)
- {{s-dip}} — Diplomatic posts (Ambassadors etc.)
- {{s-ecc}} — Religious posts (Cardinals, archbishops and other senior clerics)
- {{s-gov}} — Government offices (Appointed governors, civil servants etc.)
- {{s-herald}} — Heraldic offices (Kings of Arms, Heralds etc.)
- {{s-hon}} — Honorary offices (This is a vague description and should be used with caution)
- {{s-legal}} — Legal offices (Solicitors general, district attorneys etc.)
- {{s-media}} — Media offices (Important positions in large newspapers, TV channels etc.)
- {{s-mil}} — Military offices (Chiefs of Staff, Commanders-in-Chief etc.) Used for army, navy and air force appointments.
- {{s-off}} — Political offices
- {{s-par|uk}} — Parliament of the United Kingdom (Members of the House of Commons only. The s-par applies generally to parliaments and is specialised with parameters)
- {{s-pol}} — Police appointments (Commissioners etc.)
- {{s-ppo}} — Party political offices (Party leaders etc.)
- {{s-pre}} — Titles in pretence (Includes all titles held in pretence)
- {{s-prec|}} — Order of precedence (Can be further specialised)
- {{s-reg|}} — Regnal titles (Can be further specialised for titles of nobility)
- {{s-sports}} — Sporting positions (Champions, sport award winners etc.)
- {{s-culture}} — Cultural titles
- {{s-other}} — Other offices (Not belonging to any other category)
Here are examples for each of the above (in order):

Complex tables[தொகு]
Many people, like monarchs and Prime Ministers, active businesspeople, prominent scientists and talented athletes have held more than one offices and/or titles in their life. As it would be unwieldy to create separate tables for all those titles, we include all of them in one table. Thus, each article has one table at the bottom, which is easier to manage and more aesthetically pleasing.
Complex tables can be sorted into two groups. The first group contains tables that consist of the plain tables examined in the previous section. The second group contains more advanced tables with a more complicated structure. For the purposes of this tutorial, the tables of the first group will be called multiple row tables and the ones of the second group will be termed advanced tables.
Multiple row tables[தொகு]
As has been mentioned, Wikitables that consist of many separate lines are made up of the previous section's simple tables, and thus their creation follows more or less the same rules; the only difference is that special care should be given to the placement and relative order of said simple tables.
Generally, in tables with many rows, it is necessary to place |- between every row on the list. However, this text is already imbedded into most of the templates, so it is no longer necessary to add it to multiple row tables. The sole exception is the template s-vac: if a line ends with this template, you need to place this character or the computer will not recognize a new row.
An example of the way multiple row tables work is this:
- {{s-start}}
- {{s-reg|}}
- {{s-bef|before=Michael}}
- {{s-ttl|title=Emperor of Oceania
- |years=[[1989]]–[[2001]]}}
- {{s-aft|after=Timothy}}
- {{s-new|reason=Unification of South America}}
- {{s-ttl|title=King of South America|years=[[1985]]–[[1993|93]]}}
- {{s-aft|after=Fernando}}
- {{s-off}}
- {{s-bef|before=Olaf}}
- {{s-ttl|title=President of Scandinavia|years=[[1982]]–[[1992|92]]}}
- {{s-vac|next=Sven}}
- |-
- {{s-bef|before=Marisa}}
- {{s-ttl|title=Prime Minister of Sub-Saharan Africa|years=[[2001]]–present}}
- {{s-inc}}
- {{end}}
Which will look something like this:
Advanced tables[தொகு]Sometimes, a person might inherit more than one titles from a single individual, and/or pass multiple titles on to one person. The several separate crowns of the Commonwealth Realms, held by the same Queen, are one good example. It is also possible that someone might take over an office from two different people who had held it jointly until then.
For these, and other scenarios, it is possible to create Wikitables that can show clearly those connections by making use of the advanced features of the new succession box model. The system for the advanced tables is a little different from the simple forms demonstrated in the previous sections, and it relies heavily on the |- character, as well as on the correct counting of the rows.
Basically, the format is the following: if a box is taking up more than one rows of the table, it can be specified how many rows exactly that will be by creating a row marker in the field immediately following the s-… field. That can be done by typing:
- {{s-...|row=Insert number of rows here|...}}
The number corresponds to the number of rows this name or title overlaps in regard to the other rows. Lists of title-holders are usually in order of the granting of the title, beginning with the oldest titles held. All successive titles should be noted, though titles tied together permanently can be listed in the same field.
An example of the way advanced tables work is this:
- {{s-start}}
- {{s-bef|before=Nicholas}}
- {{s-ttl|rows=2|title=President of the Balkans
- |years=[[2003]]–present}}
- {{s-inc|rows=2|heir=Johann}}
- |-
- {{s-bef|before=Mary}}
- {{s-bef|rows=2|before=Richard}}
- {{s-ttl|title=King of Southeast Asia|years=[[1982]]–[[1992|92]]}}
- {{s-aft|after=William}}
- |-
- {{s-ttl|title=King of New Zealand|years=[[1990]]–[[1997|97]]}}
- {{s-non|reason=New Zealand declared republic}}
- {{end}}
