Template:Snapshot person
This snapshot box is designed to highlight a specific person in the history of a territory. Provide a very brief overview of information in the paragraph parameter. Important: Please do not attempt to include a full-length article, as this template is not designed for it.
{{Snapshot person | name = (required) | anchor = (optional; see note below) | datetype1 = (if omitted, defaults to "birth"; options include flourished, lived, reigned, appeared, elected, death) | date1 = (at least one date is required) | loc1 = location of first date if applicable | datetype2 = (if omitted, defaults to "death"; options include flourished, disappeared, removed, and buried) | date2 = | loc2 = location of second date if applicable | other-names = | titles = | portrait = (use without "File:") | paragraph = (short overview paragraph to provide historical context) }}
This template also includes an optional anchor
parameter that can be used to create quick wiki links. For example, including | anchor = Johann Schmidt
allows for a quick link on the article like this: [[Article#Johann Schmidt]]
. As with all wikilinks, this can be piped to create direct links in the encyclopedia directly to this snapshot ([[Article#Johann Schmidt|Johann Schmidt]]
).
