Usage

{{sortname|first|last|optional link target|optional sort key}}

Creates a wikilinked name that can 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.)

|nolink=1

Suppresses wikilinking the name, useful for list entries which are never likely to have articles so shouldn't be redlinked.
(Note: optional link target ignored when "|nolink=1" used.)
