This is the template sandbox page for Template:About other people (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
This template uses Lua: |
This template acts like ((Other people)), but includes an extra parameter that describes the subject of the article.
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}
