Infoboxes already reduce text size to 88%, and MOS:FONTSIZE sets a lower limit for text size at 85% of the normal page font size, so it is not appropriate to use font size reduction when this template is used in an infobox. The example here is produced by:
{{Infobox person |spouse = {{Plainlist|
* {{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
* {{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
* {{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
* {{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}
* {{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}
* {{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}} }}

- None of the parameters are required on their own, but if a template is missing all three of start date, end date, and reason, an error message will be displayed.
- Use of the first two parameters with
|end=
(|reason=
) will cause a line break between the name and the start date. - Use of
his deathorher deathfor this purpose has been deprecated (see discussion). - If the marriage ended with the death of the article's subject, do not provide a date.
- For either date parameter, only the year will be displayed; if a full date is provided, it is included via a tooltip; i.e., {{Tooltip}}.
- Note: Use of the values
w,w.,wid,wid.,widow, orwidowedis no longer supported and will display an error message.
