== Usage == The first parameter is mandatory; omitting it produces an error message, and a maintenance category that can be suppressed by supplying a <code>category</code> parameter with a falsy value. For example: * <code><nowiki>{{About other people|category=false}}</nowiki></code> β {{About other people|category=false}} The second parameter defines the ambiguous name, changing the "other people" text to include it and improving the default disambiguation page: * <code><nowiki>{{About other people|an example person}}</nowiki></code> β {{About other people|an example person}} * <code><nowiki>{{About other people|an example person|Jane Doe}}</nowiki></code> β {{About other people|an example person|Jane Doe}} As with {{tl|Other people}}, the message produced when the second parameter is defined can be customized using the <code>named</code> parameter. For example, <code>named=titled</code> can be useful: * <code><nowiki>{{About other people|some "Lord Byron" or other|Lord Byron|Baron Byron|named=titled}}</nowiki></code> β {{About other people|some "Lord Byron" or other|Lord Byron|Baron Byron|named=titled}} The third and any further parameters define custom targets for the hatnote: * <code><nowiki>{{About other people|ABOUT|NAME|PAGE1}}</nowiki></code> β {{About other people|ABOUT|NAME|PAGE1}} * <code><nowiki>{{About other people|ABOUT||PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}</nowiki></code> β {{About other people|ABOUT||PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}} {{collapse|title=TemplateData|1= <templatedata> { "params": { "1": { "label": "Page subject", "description": "A descriptor for the page subject", "type": "string", "required": true }, "2": { "label": "Name", "description": "Sets the name to be disambiguated", "type": "string", "suggested": true }, "3": { "label": "Target page 1", "description": "The name of a page to which the disambiguation message should point", "type": "wiki-page-name", "suggested": true }, "4": { "label": "Target page 2", "description": "The name of an additional target page", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "5": { "label": "Target page 3", "description": "The name of an additional target page", "type": "wiki-page-name" } }, "description": "Produces a disambiguation message to aid readers distinguish between articles on people with the same or similar name, prefixed with a message clarifying the subject of the article.", "format": "inline" } </templatedata> }} {{Hatnote templates}} <includeonly>{{Sandbox other|| <!-- Categories below this line, please; interwikis at Wikidata --> [[Category:Hatnote templates]] }}</includeonly>
