Editing Template:S-start/doc (section)

====S-non====
''S-non'' is the opposite of ''s-new'': it is used to signal the conclusion of a chain of succession, replacing ''s-aft'' in the box's successor cell. ''S-non'' fills the slot when a position is abolished, becomes extinct, or otherwise falls into permanent disuse. ''S-vac'' should be used instead if the line of succession resumes after a period of vacancy. 

As the reasons for the end of a title are more numerous and possibly more difficult to describe than those for its creation, ''s-non'' is an open template, allowing for the insertion of practically any message (using the "reason" parameter, which cannot be omitted). It is preferable, however, that these messages are as short as possible, like "Abolished."

''S-non'' must be followed by a <nowiki>|-</nowiki> character in complex tables, or error might occur in the display of these succession boxes.  The use of this character is not necessary if a reason is given, as the use of a reason incorporates the use of the <nowiki>|</nowiki> character. The very first and last lines of each table are also excepted, as it is not necessary to add the character before the first line and after the last one.

Here follows an example of the usage of ''Template:S-non'', taken from the article of the [[Bloodstone Emperor]]:

::<nowiki>{{s-start}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-bef|before=[[Amethyst Empress]]}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-ttl|title=[[God-emperor]] of the [[Great Empire of the Dawn]]}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-non|reason=Last emperor}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-end}}</nowiki>

Which will appear like this:

{{s-start}}
{{s-bef|before=[[Amethyst Empress]]}}
{{s-ttl|title=[[God-emperor]] of the [[Great Empire of the Dawn]]}}
{{s-non|reason=Last emperor}}
{{s-end}}
