வார்ப்புரு:Family name explanation/doc

வார்ப்புரு:Family name explanation is placed at the top of a biographical article to explain to readers which part of a name is the family name. It is used by the wrappers {{Family name footnote}} and {{Family name hatnote}}. More rarely, it may be invoked directly, e.g. for use within a larger footnote about a person's name.

Usage

Parameter	Description	Status
|1=	The surname or family name of the subject.	Required
|2=	Triggers different text based on the language (see below).	Required for |lang=Manchu; optional for others.
|3=	For transliterated names or there are multiple name types.	Optional
|nd=	Use for Dutch names when a marital name is involved	Conditional
|lang=	The country or origin of the name; links to related articles if they exist. Note: language names must be spelled out, not ISO codes, for example Spanish not es.	Optional

Footnotes vs. hatnotes

There is no universal consensus on whether to use footnotes or hatnotes for family name explanations. However, never use both. For names that are clear to the average reader, such as Jeremy Lin, use no explanation.

Hatnotes are a high-emphasis method of name explanation, and have been used widely on Wikipedia for many years. Some editors argue that they are well-suited to articles where the name is particularly in need of clarification (such as when the name வார்ப்புரு:Xtn is one article and வார்ப்புரு:Xtn is another), or where a footnotes system would have to be introduced for the explanation.

Footnotes are a newer, lower-emphasis method of name explanation introduced in 2020. Some editors argue that they better avoid giving undue prominence to name explanations. Others argue that they fit name explanations better as they do not muddle the navigational purpose of hatnotes. They may be particularly well-suited to articles that already have other hatnotes (where another might induce banner blindness), or where there is a preexisting footnote system (and thus no need to introduce one).
