This template, {{Cabinet table minister}}, is intended to be used in cabinet articles, and creates a list of ministers in e.g. the Reinfeldt Cabinet. For this you need the templates {{Cabinet table start}}, {{Cabinet table ministry}} and {{Cabinet table end}}. It can create up to ten columns, for ten persons that held the same office.

The following template is needed for start the list. The following parameters are only used when you do not want to show what party the minister belongs to or if you should have references. In this case, you _must_ omit all the |ministerX_party= parameters to allow the columns to align properly.

{{Cabinet table start
 | hidepartycol                = y
 | hiderefcol                  = y
}}

If you want to show ministries, shall the following template be used.
