Template talk:Similar person names

Improved procedure
Some time ago we cooperated to produce a very simple template that generally requires the typing and/or dragging of only one name per page.

Type surname on a page (replacing "surname" with an actual surname, of course). Copy it to your clipboard.

Then go to that surname category and create as many pages as you like for different given names combined with that surname (even if there's only one such person listed at present). Paste the code into the new page, drag the given name (after double-clicking on it) down from the address bar into the space between the two close-together pipes, add any appropriate link or nothing after "List=", and publish.

Then change the address bar to show a different given name and repeat.
