మూస:Post-nominals/doc

Usage

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: మూస:Post-nominals/CAN మూస:Post-nominals/CAN మూస:Post-nominals/CAN

Unlinked and/or custom-linked post-nominals

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

Font size

The optional |size= parameter allows for the size of the text, as a percentage, to be changed from the template's default of 100%:

{{post-nominals|size=85%|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: మూస:Post-nominals/CAN మూస:Post-nominals/CAN మూస:Post-nominals/CAN

Commas

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):

{{post-nominals|commas=on|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: మూస:Post-nominals/CAN, మూస:Post-nominals/CAN, మూస:Post-nominals/CAN

Country

By default, the template links to articles on the Canadian versions of the honours indicated by the post-nominals. To specify another country, include |country=XXX where XXX is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for that country:

{{post-nominals|country=NZL|PC|OBE}} produces: మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL

Currently, the countries supported are Australia (AUS); Canada (CAN); New Zealand (NZL); the United Kingdom (GBR); and South Africa (ZAR). (See data links below.)

Exceptions

• AM is ambiguous in British honours. Use AMl ("AM" followed by a lowercase "L") for a member of the London Assembly; AMw for a member of the National Assembly for Wales; and AMh for an honorary Member of the Order of Australia.

• GNZM GCB GCMG GBE designates both a Knight Grand Cross/Companion and a Dame Grand Cross/Companion. In order to link correctly, however, more specific abbreviations are needed to differentiate between the Knight and Dame. For instance, "Sir John Smith మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL" is produced by:

Sir John Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZM|GCB|GCMG|GBE}}

while "Dame Jane Jones మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL" is produced by:

Dame Jane Jones {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZMf|GCBf|GCMGf|GBEf}}

• Kt, in the British set of honours, indicates a Knight Bachelor who also holds other knighthoods, baronetcies and/or peerages; KT indicates a Knight of the Thistle.

• OM in the Canadian set defaults to the Order of Manitoba, while the Order of Merit is specified by OMt. "Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien, మూస:Post-nominals/CAN మూస:Post-nominals/CAN మూస:Post-nominals/CAN మూస:Post-nominals/CAN", for instance, is produced by:

Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien, {{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OMt|CC|QC}}

• QFSM, in New Zealand, designates both the Queen's Fire Service Medal for Gallantry and Queen's Fire Service Medal for Distinguished Service. QPM designates both Queen's Police Medal for Gallantry and Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service. In both instances, the Medal for Distinguished Service is specified with QFSMd and QPMd:

John Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|QFSM|QPM|QPSMd|QPMd}} produces: John Smith మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL మూస:Post-nominals/NZL
