===="As" parameter====
The parameter ''as'', which can be found in the ''s-bef'', ''s-aft'', and ''s-vac'' templates, is used to inform the reader of a change in the title's name from the previous or next holder. In these cases, even though the title retains more or less the same power and the succession chain is not interrupted, the title's name is different. As readers might be confused to see the title suddenly change during the course of a succession chain, the "as" parameter is used to prepare them for the impending change in both directions, added to both the succession box before and the one after the name change.

Please note that certain changes in title names, like the inclusion in a title of "Queen" instead of "King," or that of other gender-specific words, need not be clarified with the "as" parameter.

Here follows an example of the usage of the "as" parameter, taken from the article of [[Aurane Waters]]:

::<nowiki>{{s-start}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-bef|before=[[Mace Tyrell]]|as=[[Master of ships]]}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-ttl|title=[[Grand admiral]]|years={{Date|300}}}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-aft|after=[[Paxter Redwyne]]|as=[[Master of ships]]}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-end}}</nowiki>

Which will appear like this:

{{s-start}}
{{s-bef|before=[[Mace Tyrell]]|as=[[master of ships]]}}
{{s-ttl|title=[[Grand admiral]]|years={{Date|300}}}}
{{s-aft|after=[[Paxter Redwyne]]|as=[[master of ships]]}}
{{s-end}}
