- Usage
{{sortname|first|last|optional link target|optional sort key}}
Alternative version of {{sort}} tailored to the wikilinked names of persons, to be used in a sortable table (created with class="wikitable sortable").
- The default sort key is "last, first".
- The link label is "first last".
- The default link target is "first last"
The optional link target is useful when "first last" is a disambiguation page instead of the desired article, or when linking to a section of a page.
The optional sort key is useful in the case of special characters such as é.
- Optional parameters
|dab=disambiguator- Wikilinks to "first last (disambiguator)".
(Note: ignored if optional link target is not blank.)
- Wikilinks to "first last (disambiguator)".
|nolink=1- Suppresses wikilinking the name, useful for list entries which are likely to never have articles so shouldn't be redlinked.
(Note: optional link target ignored when "|nolink=1" used.)
