[edit] [purge] Template documentation

This is the {{given name}} template.

Place {{given name}} at the bottom of given name pages. Do not use this template on disambiguation pages that contain a list people by given names. Instead categorize the disambiguation page by including the given name parameter with the {{disambig}} template. For example, {{disambig|given name}}. This will include the disambiguation page in Category:Given names.

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

• Use cat=<name of category> when the category should be changed to something else.

Example: {{given name|cat=Welsh given names}}

• Use cat=none when no category should be included.

Example: {{given name|cat=none}}

• Multiple categories are also possible. To accomplish this, use cat1= for the first category, cat2= for the second, and so on.

Example: {{given name|cat1=Welsh given names|cat2=English given names}}

Pages that include both given- and family names may be tagged with type=both

This adjusts the displayed text accordingly, and obviates the need to include multiple templates.

Example: Example: {{given name|type=both}}

However, category names will still need to be provided in full.

Example: {{given name|type=both|cat1=Welsh given names|cat2=Welsh surnames}}
