Template:Pakistani name
About
[edit]This template is used at the top of a biographical article to explain that on Wikipedia, a Pakistani is referred to by their given name, unless they have a family name, which is not the same as a patronymic.
According to MOS:PATRONYMIC, if a person does not have a surname but a patronymic, then they should be referred to by the proper form of address, which is usually their given name.
Manual of Style advises to put this template at the top of an article immediately after the short description, before any deletion / protection and maintenance / dispute tags.
Usage
[edit]This template has two optional unnamed parameters:
{{Pakistani name|given name|type}}
Where:
- given name is just the given name of the subject, oftentimes same as the first name. If left blank, this will default to the first word of the page title.
- type is used to select the appropriate explanation in the hatnote. It can be
patronymic(default if left blank or incorrect value is used),matronymic,surnameornone. - Aliases:
patronymic=father=male=pmatronymic=mother=female=msurname=family name=snone=n
