{{Documentation subpage}}


===Usage===
The default use provides post-nominals linked to the relevant article for the award. By default, the Canadian set of awards is used:
: <code><nowiki>{{post-nominals|PC|CC|OBE}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{post-nominals|PC|CC|OBE}}

====Unlinked and/or custom-linked post-nominals====
To list post-nominals without links and/or with customised linking, use {{para|unlinked}} or {{para|list}} (or {{para|post-noms}}):
: <code><nowiki>{{post-nominals|unlinked=PC CC OBE}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{post-nominals|unlinked=PC CC OBE}}
: <code><nowiki>{{post-nominals|list=[[Order of the British Empire|KBE]]}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{post-nominals|list=[[Order of the British Empire|KBE]]}}

====Font size====
The optional {{para|size}} parameter allows for the size of the text, as a percentage, to be changed from the template's default of 100%:
: <code><nowiki>{{post-nominals|size=85%|PC|CC|OBE}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{post-nominals|size=85%|PC|CC|OBE}}

====Commas====
By default, a single space is placed between each linked post-nominal (see above). To include a comma, set {{para|commas}} (or {{para|sep}}) as "on", "true", "," etc. (without quotemarks):
: <code><nowiki>{{post-nominals|commas=on|PC|CC|OBE}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{post-nominals|commas=on|PC|CC|OBE}}

====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 {{para|country|''XXX''}} where ''XXX'' is the [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3]] code for that country:
: <code><nowiki>{{post-nominals|country=NZL|PC|OBE}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{post-nominals|country=NZL|PC|OBE}}

Currently, the countries supported are Australia (AUS); Canada (CAN); New Zealand (NZL); Nigeria (NG); 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 {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZM|GCB|GCMG|GBE}}" is produced by:
:: <code><nowiki>Sir John Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZM|GCB|GCMG|GBE}}</nowiki></code>
: while "Dame Jane Jones {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZMf|GCBf|GCMGf|GBEf}}" is produced by:
:: <code><nowiki>Dame Jane Jones {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZM</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>|GCB</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>|GCMG</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>|GBE</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

* '''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, {{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OMt|CC|QC}}", for instance, is produced by:
:: <code><nowiki>Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien, {{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OMt|CC|QC}}</nowiki><code>

* '''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 QFSM'''d''' and QPM'''d''':
:: <code><nowiki>John Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|QFSM|QPM|QPSMd|QPMd}}</nowiki></code> produces: John Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|QFSM|QPM|QFSMd|QPMd}}
