[edit] [purge] Template documentation

Usage

• {{Surname|display}}

display – the unqualified surname [optional]

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

If the page title is not the surname itself, add the surname as the first parameter. For example, "Lee (surname)" or "Lee (disambiguation)"; use {{Surname|Lee}} instead. However, this parameter is for display purposes only. {{DEFAULTSORT}} controls sorting of all categories for consistency.

Category:Surnames automatically includes all articles that have this template. Any surname language categories should immediately follow the {{surname}} template, after they have been verified from reliable sources.

A maintenance category includes any template instances with too many or obsolete parameters. (This should be empty.)
