Template:FN

FN (Format Name)

This template, simply put, formats names. Mostly it is meant to be used in Template:AltNames in order to be machine-readable. The format is very simple.

The inputs:

  1. Given name(s).
  2. Family name.
  3. Disambiguator (if any).
  4. If there is input, then this will display the name in index (reversed) format.
  5. Suffix (if any) — such as Jr., II, III.

Furthermore, if there is only one name, then it should be supplied in the first field.

  • {{FN|Firstname|Lastname}} → Firstname Lastname
  • {{FN|Firstname|Lastname|disambiguator}} → Firstname Lastname (disambiguator)
  • {{FN|Firstname|Lastname||y}} → Lastname, Firstname
  • {{FN|Firstname|Lastname|disambiguator|y}} → Lastname, Firstname (disambiguator)
  • {{FN|Mononym}} → Mononym
