I have a plan to enable the use of spoiler tags within this system and still retain the consistancy offered by the s-bef, s-ttl and s-aft sub-templates. Essentially, four templates will be available for use in between <nowiki>{{start box}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{end box}}</nowiki>: | |||
*<nowiki>{{succession box}}</nowiki> behaves exactly as this template does currently. | |||
*<nowiki>{{succession box (spoiler)}}</nowiki> hides the entire section behind a spoiler tag. | |||
*<nowiki>{{succession box (spoiler-bef)}}</nowiki> hides the predecessor. | |||
*<nowiki>{{succession box (spoiler-aft)}}</nowiki> hides the successor. | |||
I will be implementing this presently, and will try to avoid disrupting existing operations. Please feel free to ask any questions below. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 11:19, 27 March 2006 (CST) | |||

In between, you may place as many instances of <nowiki>{{succession box}}</nowiki> as is necessary. Use the following syntax: | Use a single block of succession boxes per article.
