Parameters

For descriptions of each parameter, see #TemplateData section below.

• elected and appointed are mutually exclusive.
• term (which gives "In Office") is alternative to "enthroned"/"began"/"term_start" and it disables "ended"/"term_end".

• The Orders section may be omitted in favour of Template:Ordination for those clergy claiming Apostolic succession, such as Catholics, Orthodox and Anglicans.
• resting_place_coordinates is coordinates of grave or similar; if known precisely. Use {{Coord}} with |display=inline,title
• profession and previous_post are mutually exclusive.
