| Standardized template for use in all references to the '''''current''''' Canadian monarch.
|-
| Permits global updating of articles when eventual succession takes place.
|-
| Only use this template for references that should always be the most current (e.g. Current commander-in-chief of the Canadian military).  Hard-code any references to events that have occurred in the past or will occur in the future (e.g. The visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1939 or the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club receiving its ''royal'' designation from Queen Victoria in 1891).

|-
| A number of articles use this template to assign the InfoBox image.  The image is hard coded to be "''title'' ''monarch name''.jpg" using template calls similar to <code><nowiki>{{Canadian monarch, current|title=~}} {{Canadian monarch, current|plainname=☺}}.jpg</nowiki></code>
|-
| For example, the image file <code><nowiki>[[File:Queen Elizabeth II.jpg]]</nowiki></code> is a redirect to the consensus determined current best image of the monarch.  When a succession takes place, a redirect should immediately be created for "File:King/Queen  ''Regent's name''.jpg" (e.g.<code> File:King Ralph.jpg</code> ) to ensure that, prior to updating the values in '''{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}''', some image exists in order to prevent updating of the template causing all InfoBox images for the new regent being blanked (and editors quickly bypassing the global image declarations currently configured).
|-
| In the unlikely event that another image exists under the required filename, request a move of the existing image to another name, citing this <nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}]] if necessary, and then change the redirect created by the move to point to an appropriate image.  Avoid uploading/moving another image to this ''‘title name.jpg’'' combination since the consensus image will undoubtedly change over time and utilizing a redirect ensures that future changes will be relatively hassle-free.

== Changing the Current Monarch Information ==
As mentioned in '''Related issue''' above, begin by making sure a redirect exists to the new monarch's image from the name "File:''title''  ''Regent's name''.jpg" (e.g. "<code>File:Queen Elizabeth II.jpg</code>").  This should be a redirect to another ''best'' image of the regent to ensure hassle-free revision as consensus changes, time passes, and new images become available.


Afterwards, edit the template, changing the values (a total of 7 of them) marked between the <code>“■■►-->”</code> and <code>“
