Template:Surname/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Surname (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

[edit] Usage

Place {{surname}} at the bottom of surname pages or within sections of disambiguation pages that list people by family name.

If the page title is not the surname itself but for example "Lee (surname)" or "Lee (disambiguation)" instead, use {{surname|Lee}}.

By default, articles that include this template will be auto-categorized into Category:Surnames. To override this functionality...:

  • Use cat=<name of category> when the category should be changed to something else.
Example: {{surname|Lee|cat=Chinese family names}}
  • Use cat=none when no category should be included.
Example: {{surname|Lee|cat=none}}
