Template:Succession

⇐ [[{{{prevlink}}}|{{{prevlink}}}]]

{{{label}}}

[[{{{nextlink}}}|{{{nextlink}}}]] ⇒

For assisting creating succession templates. Parameters:

1. label - Category label, usually a link to main page.
2. prevlink - Link to previous.
3. nextlink - Link to next.
4. bgcolor - Background colour code. Default #eee.
5. bordercolor - Border colour code. Default #000.
6. textcolor - Text colour code. Default #000.

You can easily create topic-specific succession box templates by copypasting this into a new template, and tweaking as necessary:

{{succession |label [[Mayors of Cwcville]] |prevlink = BILLY MAYS |nextlink = Richard Karn |bgcolor = #f00 |bordercolor = #0f0 |textcolor = #00f}}

Remember to use the template {{!}} instead of | when piping links in a template!
Also remember that the link colours will remain the same no matter what the text colour is set to, so keep that in mind when choosing a background colour; it'll have to look good with blue text.
