Examples and usage notes

{{Infobox person}}
Spouses	John Smith ​ (m. 1895⁠–⁠1905)​ John Doe ​ ​ (m. 1885; died 1888)​ Jane Doe ​ (m. 2002)​ John Q. Public ​ (m. 2002⁠–⁠2010)​ John Q. Citizen ​ ​ (m. 2002; div. 2010)​ ​ ​ (m. 2012)​ John Q.

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: <syntaxhighlight style="font-size:small;" lang="wikitext">

• None of the parameters are required on their own, but if a template is missing all three of start date, end date, and reason, an error message will be displayed.
• Use of the first two parameters with |end= (|reason=) will cause a line break between the name and the start date.
• Use of Template:Dc or Template:Dc for this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion).
• If the marriage ended with the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource.
• For either date parameter, only the year will be displayed; if a full date is provided, it is included via a tooltip; i.e., Template:Tla.
