Template:Succession

Preceded by: {{{before}}}

{{{title}}} {{{years}}}

Succeeded by: {{{after}}}

Usage

I (Gareth Arthur) procured this template from the OrthodoxWiki (it's a wiki for Catholics) because ShireWiki seemed to lack the plugins required for traditional succession boxes. That's why you'll see remnants of Catholicism in the example below. :P

Other than that, though, it works perfectly for our needs in Shireroth.

Start with the Start box template, use the Succession template as many times as needed, and end with the End box template.

{{start box}}
{{succession|
before=?|
title=Bishop of [[Russian Orthodox Diocese of Chersonese|Chersonese]]|
years=1968-1979|
after=? }}
{{succession|
before=[[John (Shahovskoy) of San Francisco|John (Shahovskoy)]]|
title=Bishop of Brooklyn|
years=1979-1981|
after=''vacant'' |}}
{{succession|
before=[[Theodosius (Lazor) of Washington|Theodosius (Lazor)]]|
title=Archbishop of [[Diocese of New York and New Jersey (OCA)|New York and New Jersey]]|
years=1981-2005|
after=[[Herman (Swaiko) of Washington and New York|Herman (Swaiko)]]}}
