Succession box
Not a ref template, but let's play...
Example, for Ed Zander prior to 2008:
{{s-start}} {{s-new}} {{s-ttl|title = COO of [[Sun Microsystems]] |years = 1998 - 2002}} {{s-aft|after = [[Jonathan I. Schwartz|Jonathan Schwartz]]}} {{s-bef|before = [[Scott McNealy]]}} {{s-ttl|title = President of Sun Microsystems |years = 1999 - 2002}} {{s-aft|after = [[Scott McNealy]]}} {{s-bef|before = [[Christopher Galvin]]}} {{s-ttl|title = CEO of [[Motorola]] |years = 2004 - present}} {{s-inc}} {{s-end}}
Produces
Some example parameters:
{{s-new|first|reason=None recognized before}} {{s-inc|recent}}
And I could summarize:
Switch from succession box to [[template:s-start]]

Link to specific revision or edit
Common summaries
rv good faith edit, but "avoiding redirs" is neither necessary nor desirable: see [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken]]
-disambiguating hatnote for unambiguously-titled article ([[WP:NOTAMB]])
rv good faith edit, but see [[WP:MOSDAB]] - only one navigable link per line on disambiguation pages
-bolding in lead, per [[WP:BOLDLINK]], [[WP:LEADSENTENCE]]
-redundant use of article name in section names, per [[MOS:NOBACKREF]]
-redundant material unnecessary for disambiguation, per [[MOS:DABENTRY]]
Fix "This is a list" ([[MOS:THISISALIST]], following [[MOS:FIRST]] guidelines; this also fixes [[WP:BOLDLINK]]) / [[WP:TITLEABSENTBOLD]] as collateral undamage
[[WP:SOB]]/[[WP:SPECIFICLINK]]/[[MOS:GEOLINK]] fixes
Remove redlink from "See also", since you can't also see it ([[MOS:SEEALSO]])
[[MOS:TENSE]] fix -- even discontinued products should be in present tense (although past actions are of course in past tense).
[[WP:SDNOTDEF]] fix -- avoid repeating elements in the title; [[WP:SDNONE]] seems most appropriate here.
[[MOS:FIRST]] fix -- descriptive titles don't need to be repeated verbatim in lead sentence
Red links are not bad per se; see [[WP:REDLINK]]. "Only remove red links if Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject" is a reasonable rule of thumb.
