Editing Template:About other people/doc (section)

== 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> → {{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> → {{About other people|an example person}}
* <code><nowiki>{{About other people|an example person|Jane Doe}}</nowiki></code> → {{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> → {{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> → {{About other people|ABOUT|NAME|PAGE1}}
* <code><nowiki>{{About other people|ABOUT||PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}</nowiki></code> → {{About other people|ABOUT||PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}
