Template:About other people
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template acts like {{Other people}}, but includes an extra parameter that describes the subject of the article.
Usage
[edit]The first parameter is mandatory; omitting it produces an error message, and a maintenance category that can be suppressed by supplying a category parameter with a falsy value. For example:
{{About other people|category=false}}→ Error: no page subject specified (help).
The second parameter defines the ambiguous name, changing the "other people" text to include it and improving the default disambiguation page:
{{About other people|an example person}}→{{About other people|an example person|Jane Doe}}→
As with {{Other people}}, the message produced when the second parameter is defined can be customized using the named parameter. For example, named=titled can be useful:
{{About other people|some "Lord Byron" or other|Lord Byron|Baron Byron|named=titled}}→
The third and any further parameters define custom targets for the hatnote:
{{About other people|ABOUT|NAME|PAGE1}}→{{About other people|ABOUT||PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}→
