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 comma-space is placed between each linked post-nominal (see above). Many post-nominals contain their own spaces ("OFM Cap FSA Scot FRHistS" looks like five post-nominals, but is only three). To include only a space, set |nocommas=y (or |nocommas=true, etc.):

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

This should probably only be done in cases where space is at a premium, such as in a tight table, and (not or) when all of a person's post-nominals are known with absolute certainty and zero of them contain spaces.

The old |comma= (AKA |sep=) is no longer needed, and can be removed from deployed instances of the template, since inclusion of the comma is the default.

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%|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
