Usage
Paste the code for the relevant office and then add the personal data to the bottom. There are no required fields and some fields will not appear when others are in use. For instructions on how to implement multiple terms, see this page. For advice on alt text, see Alternative text for images.

The parameter order is used in conjunction with office to state that the officeholder is the nth holder of the office, for example "2nd President of Mauritius". If order is not specified, the value of office can be wikilinked in the usual way, for example, " Minister for Defence ". However, if order is specified together with office, the value of office is automatically linked to a Wikipedia article of the same name, whether such an article exists or not. Wikilinking cannot be used to redirect the link elsewhere, but a piped link can be created like this: " Ministry of Defence (Singapore)|Minister for Defence " (note that the double square brackets have been omitted).

When both a start and an end term are given, you can instead specify the complete term using using the parameters term, terms2, etc. This can be helpful with complicated terms that cannot be given as simple starting or ending dates, or if you prefer something other than the default term separator (an en dash, with spaces around it if the start or end is not a simple integer date).
