Parameter names

title (required) — Text to be displayed for title.
order (optional) — Indicates the nth person to hold a given office. For use with offices that have a recognized sequence. E.g. 28th
district (optional) — For use with parliamentary offices. Insert as a wikilink the district represented during the tenure in office.

Examples of this include co-rulers of a country or region and regencies. It does not include consorts or sub-positions such as vice presidencies. The "years" parameter should only contain years, not days or months, but all other guidelines rules apply.
alongside (optional) — This parameter is reserved for political positions where two people share power, such as US senators.
under (optional) — This parameter is reserved for political positions that are subordinate to others, such as Lieutenant Governors serving under Governors.
