Wikipedia:Incumbent series

This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia:WikiProject Succession Box Standardization and is retained primarily for historical reference.

Biographies of incumbents (monarchs, popes, presidents, prime ministers) are often linked together by boxes, including the predecessor and successor. For other series of articles, see Wikipedia:Article series.

A sample from Moritz Leuenberger, as discussed on Talk:List of members of the Swiss Federal Council:

Preceded by Otto Stich	Member of the Swiss Federal Council 1995-	Succeeded by n.a. (still in office)

{{s-start}}
{{s-bef|before= [[Otto Stich]]}}
{{s-ttl|title= [[Member of the Swiss Federal Council]]|years=1995-}}
{{s-aft|after= ''n.a. (still in office)''}}
{{s-end}}

This structure can also work for any long chain of items:

Preceded by 20th Amendment	Amendments United States Constitution	Succeeded by 22nd Amendment
