Usage
editPlease do not use this template solely to create talk pages that otherwise have no content.[1] |
Place this on already existing talk pages of relevant disambiguation pages.
{{WikiProject Disambiguation}}
Optional parameters
edit- listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for John Doe, use
|listas=Doe, John
so that the talk page will show up in the D's and not the J's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add|listas=
to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required. - page-title – defines the page which will be edited when the "edit the page" link is clicked; if omitted, this is the content page associated with the talk page upon which the banner is placed (see
{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}
). - category – set
|category=no
if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
Example
edit{{WikiProject Disambiguation|listas=Doe, John}}
