Template documentationUsage
Default
The default use provides post-nominals linked to the relevant article for the award. By default, the Canadian set of awards is used:
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.
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):
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:
Currently, the countries supported are Australia (AUS); Canada (CAN); Ghana (GHA); 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
- 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, 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}}
- 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 PC OM CC QC", for instance, is produced by:
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien {{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC|OMt|CC|QC}}
- 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 QFSMd and QPMd:
