|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spouse's name | 1 | Name of the person to whom the subject married. May be omitted, typically for remarriages to the same spouse. | String | suggested |
| Date married | 2 | Date the marriage began. | Date | suggested |
| Date ended | 3 | Date the marriage was dissolved or the spouse of the article's subject died. | Date | optional |
| Reason marriage ended | end reason | Reason for marriage's end. Suggested reasons are automatically abbreviated. If the marriage ended due to death of article's subject, do not provide a reason.

Infoboxes already reduce text size to 88%, and MOS:FONTSIZE sets a lower limit for text size at 85% of the normal page font size, so it is not appropriate to use font size reduction when this template is used in an infobox. The example here is produced by: <syntaxhighlight style="font-size:small;" lang="wikitext">

- None of the parameters are required on their own, but if a template is missing all three of start date, end date, and reason, an error message will be displayed.
- Use of the first two parameters with
|end=(|reason=) will cause a line break between the name and the start date. - Use of Template:Dc or Template:Dc for this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion).
- If the marriage ended with the death of the article's subject, Template:Insource.
- For either date parameter, only the year will be displayed; if a full date is provided, it is included via a tooltip; i.e., Template:Tla.
