This is the {{Given name}} template.
Place {{Given name}}
at the bottom of given name pages. Do not use this template on a disambiguation page that lists people by given name and also lists other topics. Instead categorize the disambiguation page by including the given name parameter with the {{Disambiguation}} template. For example, {{Disambiguation|given name}}
. This will include the disambiguation page in Category:Disambiguation pages with given-name-holder lists.
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 names and family names may be tagged with type=both
. This adjusts the displayed text accordingly, and obviates the need to include multiple templates.
- Example:
{{Given name|type=both}}
However, category names must still be provided in full.
- Example:
{{Given name|type=both|cat1=Welsh given names|cat2=Welsh surnames}}
