Template:S-new/doc

This template creates a single succession box column to be used with succession boxes.

Usage
The format is, where parameter is replaced by one of the parameter names shown in the following table. The use of a parameter is optional.

Note: Only one parameter can be used in a single line of code.

In addition, the parameter, reason, may be used to designate the reason(s) for the title (or loss); enter a short explanation after entering this parameter, if necessary.

This template allows for multiple row-spans using the parameter |rows=| between the template name and the first parameter.
