Examples presuming you are on a page about a "Mackenzie Garcia":
With no parameters, it inserts the current page name, for example "Mackenzie Garcia" (an individual who is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for that name) after "named" before "(disambiguation)":
((Other people))
For other people named Mackenzie Garcia, see Mackenzie Garcia (disambiguation). |
On a page like "Mackenzie J. Garcia", a lone parameter gives the name used after "named" and before "(disambiguation)":
((Other people|Mackenzie Garcia))
For other people named Mackenzie Garcia, see Mackenzie Garcia (disambiguation). |
Likewise, on a page like "Mackenzie Jasper Garcia", we can use a single parameter to specify a narrow "Mackenzie J. Garcia" disambiguation (DAB) page:
((Other people|Mackenzie J. Garcia))
For other people named Mackenzie J. Garcia, see Mackenzie J. Garcia (disambiguation). |
If two parameters are given, the first is the name after "named", the second is the entire page name of the DAB page. (Always link to the page name containing "(disambiguation)"; see WP:INTDAB for why. If that title is a redirect (i.e. the DAB page's name does not contain "(disambiguation)"), use a piped link by using ((!)): Mackenzie Garcia (disambiguation)((!))Mackenzie Garcia
.) This can be used when the current page name is already partially disambiguated, e.g. "Mackenzie Garcia (politician)". It can also be used when the WP:COMMONNAME of the subject is a shortened form of the name, e.g. at an article named "Mac Garcia":
((Other people|Mackenzie Garcia|Mackenzie Garcia))
For other people named Mackenzie Garcia, see Mackenzie Garcia. |
In unusual cases (mostly titles and pseudonyms), the word "named" can be replaced, e.g. with "called":
((Other people|named=called))
For other people called Corky the Great, see Corky the Great (disambiguation). |
