=== Usage ===
===Usage===
====Default====
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}}


====postnoms field====
====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]]}}


<nowiki>{{post-nominals|post-noms=PC CC OBE}}</nowiki>: {{post-nominals|post-noms=PC CC OBE}}
====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 85%. As per [[MOS:FONTSIZE]], this must be added when the template is used in infoboxes (it should be set to <kbd>100%</kbd>), because infoboxes already use size-reduced text. It can be used elsewhere when there are few post-nominal letters.
: <code><nowiki>Jane Smith {{post-nominals|size=100%|PC|CC|OBE}}</nowiki></code> produces: Jane Smith {{post-nominals|size=100%|PC|CC|OBE}}


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


<nowiki>{{post-nominals|post-noms=PC CC OBE|size=100%}}</nowiki>: {{post-nominals|post-noms=PC CC OBE|size=100%}}
====Country====
By default, the template links to articles on the Canadian versions of the honours indicated by the post-nominals. Please add <code>|country=CAN</code> anyway when Canada is wanted. To specify another country, include {{para|country|<var>XXX</var>}} where {{var|XXX}} is the [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3]] code for that country:
: <code><nowiki>Jane Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|PC|OBE}}</nowiki></code> produces: Jane Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|PC|OBE}}


==== Separator ====
Currently, the countries supported are Australia (AUS); Canada (CAN); Hong Kong (HKG); New Zealand (NZL); Nigeria (NGA); the United Kingdom (GBR); and South Africa (ZAR). United States (USA) is functional but blank. (See data links below.)
To use a comma separator between post-nominals, use
{{para|sep|,}}
Leave out the parameter completely or supply a blank value {{para|sep}} to have just non-breaking spaces between the post-nominals. Only a comma is supported as punctuation in this case and anything else supplied as a value will default to using a comma in the rendered text.


====Automatic linking====
If <code>country</code> is missing and none of <code>unlinked</code>, <code>list</code>, <code>post-noms</code> are used then [[:Category:Pages using Template:Post-nominals with missing parameters]] is added to the page.


<nowiki>{{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|CC|OBE}}</nowiki>: {{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|CC|OBE}}
=====Exceptions=====
<!--(Alphabetical:)-->
* '''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|size=100%|sep=,|GNZM|GCB|GCMG|GBE}}" is produced by:
:: <code><nowiki>Sir John Smith, {{post-nominals|country=NZL|size=100%|sep=,|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>


Countries are specified using [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3]] codes. The only countries currently supported are Australia (AUS), Canada (CAN), New Zealand (NZL), and the United Kingdom (GBR). If a country is not specified, the Canadian list will be used, as it duplicates most of the British list.
* '''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]].


Note that this is case-sensitive; "country=GBR" will invoke the British list, but "Country=GBR" will default to the Canadian list.
* '''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>


=====Exceptions=====
* '''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}}


*'''OM''' in the Canada set defaults to the [[Order of Manitoba]]. The [[Order of Merit]] is specified with '''OMt''':
::<nowiki>'''Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien''', {{Post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OMt|CC|QC}}</nowiki> returns '''Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien''', {{Post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OMt|CC|QC}}
*'''GNZM GCB GCMG GBE''' Designates both a Knight Grand Cross/Companion and a Dame Grand Cross/Companion however different parameters  are used to link to a Dame Grand Cross or Companion.
** Sir John Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZM|GCB|GCMG|GBE}}
** Dame Jane Jones {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZMf|GCBf|GCMGf|GBEf}} use <nowiki>{{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZM</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>|GCB</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>|GCMG</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>|GBE</nowiki>'''f'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
*'''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'''.
::<nowiki>'''John Smith''' {{post-nominals|country=NZL|QFSM|QPM|QPSMd|QPMd}}</nowiki> returns '''John Smith''' {{post-nominals|country=NZL|QFSM|QPM|QFSMd|QPMd}}
*'''AM''' is ambiguous in the British list: use '''AMl''' ''(lower case 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]].
*In the British list, distinguish '''Kt''' for a [[Knight Bachelor]] ''(nb: the post-nominal is used only for knights bachelor who hold other knighthoods, baronetcies and/or peerages)'' from '''KT''' for a [[Knight of the Thistle]].

Usage

Default

The default use provides post-nominals linked to the relevant article for the award. By default, the Canadian set of awards is used:

{{post-nominals|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: PC CC OBE

Unlinked and/or custom-linked post-nominals

To list post-nominals without links and/or with customised linking, use |unlinked= or |list= (or |post-noms=):

{{post-nominals|unlinked=PC CC OBE}} produces: PC CC OBE
{{post-nominals|list=[[Order of the British Empire|KBE]]}} produces: KBE

Font size

The optional |size= parameter allows for the size of the text, as a percentage, to be changed from the template's default of 85%. As per MOS:FONTSIZE, this must be added when the template is used in infoboxes (it should be set to 100%), because infoboxes already use size-reduced text. It can be used elsewhere when there are few post-nominal letters.

Jane Smith {{post-nominals|size=100%|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: Jane Smith PC CC OBE

Commas

By default, a single space is placed between each linked post-nominal (see above). To include a comma, set |commas= (or |sep=) as "on", "true", "," etc. (without quotemarks):

Jane Smith, {{post-nominals|size=100%|commas=on|PC|CC|OBE}} produces: Jane Smith, PC, CC, OBE

Country

By default, the template links to articles on the Canadian versions of the honours indicated by the post-nominals. Please add |country=CAN anyway when Canada is wanted. To specify another country, include |country=XXX where XXX is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for that country:

Jane Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|PC|OBE}} produces: Jane Smith PC OBE

Currently, the countries supported are Australia (AUS); Canada (CAN); Hong Kong (HKG); New Zealand (NZL); Nigeria (NGA); the United Kingdom (GBR); and South Africa (ZAR). United States (USA) is functional but blank. (See data links below.)

If country is missing and none of unlinked, list, post-noms are used then Category:Pages using Template:Post-nominals with missing parameters is added to the page.

Exceptions
  • 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, GNZM, GCB, GCMG, GBE" is produced by:
Sir John Smith, {{post-nominals|country=NZL|size=100%|sep=,|GNZM|GCB|GCMG|GBE}}
while "Dame Jane Jones GNZM GCB GCMG GBE" is produced by:
Dame Jane Jones {{post-nominals|country=NZL|GNZMf|GCBf|GCMGf|GBEf}}
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien {{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OMt|CC|QC}}
John Smith {{post-nominals|country=NZL|QFSM|QPM|QPSMd|QPMd}} produces: John Smith QFSM QPM QFSM QPM
