Template:Surname
 |
This page or section lists people with the surname Surname. If an internal link intending to refer to a specific person led you to this page, you may wish to change that link by adding the person's given name(s) to the link. |
This template should only be used in the article (main) namespace.
Usage
- {{Surname|display}}
- display – the unqualified surname [optional]
Place {{surname}} at the bottom of surname pages. Do not use this template on disambiguation pages that contain a list of people by family name. Instead categorize the disambiguation page by including the surname parameter with the {{Disambiguation}} template. For example, {{Disambiguation|surname}}. This will include the disambiguation page in Category:Surnames.
If the page title is not the surname itself, add the surname as the first parameter. For example, "Lee (surname)" or "Lee (disambiguation)"; use {{Surname|Lee}} instead. However, this parameter is for display purposes only. {{DEFAULTSORT}} controls sorting of all categories for consistency.
Category:Surnames automatically includes all articles that have this template. Any surname language categories should immediately follow the {{surname}} template, after they have been verified from reliable sources.
A maintenance category includes any template instances with too many or obsolete parameters. (This should be empty.)
