ଛାଞ୍ଚ:About-otherpeople/doc

This is a documentation subpage for ଛାଞ୍ଚ:About-otherpeople.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ଛାଞ୍ଚ page.

This template uses Lua:

Module:About-otherpeople

This template acts like {{other people}}, but includes an extra parameter that describes the subject of the article.

Usage

The first parameter is non-optional; omitting it produces an error message, and a maintenance category that can be suppressed by supplying a category parameter with a falsy value. For example:

{{about-otherpeople|category=false}} → Error: no page subject specified (help).

The second parameter defines the ambiguous name, changing the "other people" text to include it and improving the default disambiguation page:

{{about-otherpeople|an example person}} →
{{about-otherpeople|an example person|Jane Doe}} →

As with {{other people}}, the message produced when the second parameter is defined can be customized using the named parameter. For example, named=titled can be useful:

{{about-otherpeople|some "Lord Byron" or other|Lord Byron|Baron Byron|named=titled}} →

The third and any further parameters define custom targets for the hatnote:

{{about-otherpeople|ABOUT|NAME|PAGE1}} →
{{about-otherpeople|ABOUT||PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3} →
