S-start is the initial component in a template series for succession boxes. A succession box is the box you see at the bottom of articles that show what the predecessor to the article you're reading is. For example, George W. Bush has a succession box that show who the previous and next presidents are, as well as who preceded and followed him in various other offices he served in.
S-start replaces the previous formats for succession tables but still allows for most of their use indirectly. In the new format, every succession box begins with s-start, and thus it is an essential component of the new system. If you find a succession template not in this standard, please contact WikiProject Succession Box Standardization.
The purpose of this page is to document the whole succession system based on s-start and to provide instructions for the correct creation and editing of succession boxes. The page is divided into three large sections: the first one provides a brief overview of the succession templates and an explanation of the function of parameters; the second one gives instructions for the creation of succession boxes; the third section goes further into detail about the succession templates and gives examples of their use. Complete examples of succession boxes of varying complexity are given in the end.
