Template:SurnameArticle/doc

From Familypedia

Template:SurnameArticle is used on any article about a specific surname. The article name must be the surname itself followed by " (surname)". For example, for the surname "Abel", use the article, Abel (surname). If it is not, then please Move it so that it does follow that form.

Copy and paste the template (which you see below the next heading) into the top corner of the edit box of the surname article (right before Template:alsoWP if that is there, and before anything else). Then, simply add information after the "equals" signs on the template (avoiding carriage returns if practicable). The lines after the }} are used for starting the history/background of the surname in as much more detail as contributors wish.

The article will automatically be categorized with Category:Surname articles and its respective surname category and will have a prominent extra link at the top to the latter.
