This disambiguation page lists articles about people with the same name. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article. |
__DISAMBIG__
 | This template is used on approximately 74,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This template is designed for use only on disambiguation pages that contain only links to articles for people having the same name. It displays a notice on the page and includes it in the Category:Human name disambiguation pages, a subcategory of Category:Disambiguation pages. It is similar in function to the {{Disambiguation}} template, which is used on general purpose disambiguation pages. Please refer to the following examples:
- For a disambiguation page containing only human names (e.g. full given name and surname such as "Max Weber"), add (at bottom of page):
{{Hndis}}
- For a disambiguation page containing both human names and other entries, do not use the
{{hndis}}template. Instead, use:
{{Disambiguation|human name}}
- The above methods sort the category entries by the page name, so Max Weber (disambiguation) would appear under "M" in Category:Human name disambiguation pages. To list the category entries by surname, add a sort key:
{{Hndis|Weber, Max}}- or:
{{Hndis|name=Weber, Max}}- generates:
- [[Category:Human name disambiguation pages|Weber, Max]]
- For human name disambiguation pages requiring cleanup, use {{hndis-cleanup}}.
Choosing the proper template
- A page that lists "Ethan Allen (baseball player)" and "Ethan Allen (furniture company)" should use {{disambiguation|hn}}.
- A page that lists "Jayson L. Smeltsdorf" and "Jayson Q. Smeltsdorf" should use {{hndis}}.
- A page that lists all people with the given name "Jayson" should use {{given name}}.
- A page that lists all people with the surname "Smeltsdorf" should use {{surname}}.
