 | This template is used on approximately 56,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
The default use provides post-nominals linked to the relevant article for the award. By default, the Canadian set of awards is used:
{{post-nominals|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: PC CC OBE
To list post-nominals without links and/or with customised linking, use |unlinked=or|list= (or|post-noms=):
{{post-nominals|unlinked=PC CC OBE}} produces: PC CC OBE{{post-nominals|list=[[Order of the British Empire|KBE]]}} produces: KBE
The optional |size= parameter allows for the size of the text, as a percentage, to be changed from the template's default of 85%. As per MOS:FONTSIZE, this must be added when the template is used in infoboxes (it should be set to 100%), because infoboxes already use size-reduced text. It can be used elsewhere when there are few post-nominal letters.
Jane Smith {{post-nominals|size=100%|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: Jane Smith PC CC OBE
By default, a single space is placed between each linked post-nominal (see above). To include a comma, set |commas= (or|sep=) as "on", "true", "," etc. (without quotemarks):
Jane Smith, {{post-nominals|size=100%|commas=on|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: Jane Smith, PC, CC, OBE
By default, the template links to articles on the Canadian versions of the honours indicated by the post-nominals. Please add |country=CAN anyway when Canada is wanted. To specify another country, include |country=XXX where XXX is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for that country:
Jane Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|PC|OBE}} produces: Jane Smith PC OBECurrently, the countries supported are Australia (AUS); Canada (CAN); Ghana (GHA); Gibraltar (GIB); Holy See (VAT); Hong Kong (HKG); Jamaica (JAM); New Zealand (NZL); Nigeria (NGA); the United Kingdom (GBR); and South Africa (ZAR).
