If individual registries or judges decide to allow marriages, those jurisdictions are not included here. For example, * For England and Wales, we only included same-sex marriage after the bill received [[royal assent]], i.e. it was signed by the Queen after being approved by the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Similarly, republics where an executive's signature (e.g., a president or governor's signature) is required, the jurisdiction will only be added after the official(s) signs. If you think that a change is warranted, it is advisable to first change the corresponding article with reliable sources, or suggest the change (with sources) on the [[Template talk:Same-sex unions|talk page]]. Changes without sources are much more likely to be reverted. == Notes == * Changes to this template may not show up immediately in various articles due to server caching. You can bypass this by [[Wikipedia:PURGE|purging]] the server cache while on an article page.
