Template:Succession box

This is a very complicated template system. It must be done excatly like shown below or it will not work.

{{start box}}
{{succession box
|before=[[Jack Fisk]]
|title=Comanding Officer of the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''
|after=[[Lee Adama]]
}}
{{end box}}

We are trying to add other features to this template, but we have yet to get them to work.
