This template is used on approximately 251,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Usage
This template duplicates {{end}} for technical reasons. See the documentation on that page.
To avoid causing lint errors and potential issues with page display, always finalize a sequence of succession box templates with this template (except when ending with {{s-ref}}, which already incorporates it).
Why this template exists
The various succession box templates are considered navigational content and thus are excluded from print in the PDFs and printed books. However, {{end}} can be used to end any table, thus that template cannot be excluded from print. However, {{s-end}} can be excluded without any negative repercussions. Similar templates that are unambiguously the end of tables which should be excluded in print should redirect here, rather than to {{end}}.
If you see any succession template ending with {{end}}, please change it to {{s-end}}.
