The template is an easy way to list children in table form with their dates and places of birth and death. It can be used unchanged for any list of people. A copy of it could be made into a differently styled list under a different name.
Instructions
You may use this on an individual's page to create a table for the list of children. Start by copying the following under the Children section of a person's article.
{{Childbox/start}}
Sometimes, there may be people who have children with multiple spouses. Use the following to identify the spouse.
|- |colspan="3" bgcolor="#FFfce0" |'''NAMES GO HERE'''
For each child, paste this (then fill in whatever "cells" you know):
{{Childbox |Name = |Birth = |Death = }}
End the table with:
{{Childbox/end}}
Colors, sizes, and fonts can be justified.
Example input
{{Childbox/start}} |- |colspan="3" bgcolor="#FFfce0" style="color: #000000;" |'''Children of John Isaac Smith, Jr. and Abigail Elizabeth Williams''' {{Childbox |Name = John Isaac Smith III |Birth = February 4, 1902 |Birth place = London, England |Death = June 16, 1985 |Death place = Chicago, Illinois}} {{Childbox |Name = Anna Maria Smith |Birth = June 4, 1905 |Birth place = London, England |Death = March 3, 1992 |Death place = London, England}} {{Childbox |Name = William Daniel Smith |Birth = April 3, 1912 |Birth place = London, England |Death = June 9, 1944 |Death place = Normandy, France}} {{Childbox/end}}
