{{Lua|Module:Author|ഘടകം:WikidataIB}}

This template can be preloaded via the [[Special:Preferences|Gadgets]], alternatively, one can preload [[Template:Author/preload]].

==Usage==

<section begin=Usage/><pre>
{{author
 | firstname    = 
 | lastname     = 
 | last_initial = 
 | description  = 
}}
</pre><section end=Usage/>

This template is meant to be used on author pages. Fill in any relevant information, and leave unknown or inapplicable parameters empty. Please don't remove or reorder parameters, as this makes reuse and automated maintenance more difficult. Any override parameters (see below) should be added at the bottom.

To also note that this template automatically applies some categorisation based on the years of life of the author (see [[Module:Author]] for more information), and a default sort based on the <code>lastname</code> field of the author.

===Parameters===

(The [[#Usage_example|usage example]] below may help understand these.)

* Normal parameters
** {{parameter|firstname}} first / given names
** {{parameter|lastname}}: family name(s) / surnames of the author
**:If the [[w:Personal_name#Name_order|name order]] comes from a tradition where the family name typically ''precedes'' the given name, please enter the name as follows, with {{parameter|invert_names}} :<blockquote><code>&nbsp;| firstname      = Ming<br>&nbsp;| lastname       = Xing<br />&nbsp;| invert_names = yes</code></blockquote>
** {{parameter|last_initial}}: The initial '''two'''<!-- ? --> letters of the family name.
** {{parameter|description}}: A brief description of author's works, and personal history; usable for specific notes.

* Internal links (optional - use whichever are appropriate)
** {{parameter|portal}}: slash-separated list of related portals. ''e.g.,'' <samp>World History/Greece</samp>
** {{parameter|related_author}}: slash-separated list of related authors. ''e.g.'' <samp>William Shakespeare/Francis Bacon</samp>
* Interwiki links (optional - use whichever are appropriate, though not usually implemented);
** bibliowiki : {{parameter|bibliowiki}}, {{parameter|wikilivres}}
** wikimedia: {{parameter|wiktionary}}, {{parameter|wikiversity}}, {{parameter|wikispecies}}, {{parameter|meta}}, {{parameter|wikidata}}
* Overrides (for exceptions), and generally unusual to be needed
** {{parameter|image}}: (link data provided from Wikidata, by default) The name of the image on Wikisource or Wikicommons, excluding the 'image:' or 'file:' prefixes (<code>Filename.ext</code>)
*** {{parameter|image_caption}}: Override the default ''firstname lastname''
** {{parameter|upright}}: <code>upright = yes</code> to the image configuration applies a 0.6 scaling factor for long images, and default image display overpowers page
** {{parameter|defaultsort}}: Override the category sorting, which is normally "{{parameter|lastname}}, {{parameter|firstname}}".
** {{parameter|dates}}: Override the displayed birth and death dates. Don't include the parentheses.
** {{parameter|disambiguation}}: Used ''only'' when this template is transcluded from {{tl|disambiguation}} (when it's set to 'yes').
'''Notes''':
# With the exception of ''description'', none of the parameters should be wikilinked (wrapped in &#91;&#91; ]]) as the requisite fields are appropriately designed to do such linking. Links can be used within the descriptive text by traditional or wikilink methodologies.
# Links are being migrated to [[Wikisource:Wikidata|Wikidata]] as they are created at that site. Parameters are retained for cases where the Wikidata data needs to be overwritten.

===Usage example===

<pre>
{{author
 | firstname    = Booker Taliaferro
 | lastname     = Washington
 | last_initial = Wa
 | description  = (Description here.)
}}
</pre>
{{author
 | firstname    = Booker Taliaferro
 | lastname     = Washington
 | last_initial = Wa
 | description  = Political leader, educator and author. 
 | image        = BookerTWashington-Cheynes.LOC.jpg
 | defaultsort = {{PAGENAME}}<!-- ignore this in normal mode, used here to override sorting in the template --> |wikidata = Q319871
 | category       = 
}}
