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}}.
