Template:Incumbent pope/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This documentation covers the two closely related templates Template:Incumbent pope and Template:Incumbent pope 2.

Usage

[edit]

For use in templates or in article infoboxes in which there is a separate "Pope" attribute. Syntax: [[Pope <papal name>|<papal name>]]. For articles that do not have a separate "Pope" attribute, use {{Incumbent pope 2}}.

{{Incumbent pope}} produces "Francis".

For use in templates or in article infoboxes in which there is no separate "Pope" attribute. Syntax: [[Pope <papal name>]]. For articles that have a separate "Pope" attribute, use {{Incumbent_pope}}.

{{Incumbent pope 2}} produces "Pope Francis".

Maintenance

[edit]

Following the death or the resignation of the reigning pope, please update both {{Incumbent pope}} and {{Incumbent pope 2}} to ''[[Sede&nbsp;vacante]]'' until a new pope is elected. When the name of the new pope is announced, update {{Incumbent pope}} to [[Pope <papal name>|<papal name>]] and {{Incumbent pope 2}} to [[Pope <papal name>|Pope <papal name>]]. The Roman numeral, if there is one, should be preceded with a non-breaking space (&nbsp;) in the piped-link text, as per the guideline at MOS:NBSP.

Example:
[[Pope John XXIII|John&nbsp;XXIII]] produces "John XXIII".
[[Pope John XXIII|Pope John&nbsp;XXIII]] produces "Pope John XXIII".
