Usage edit

{{solename}}

This template is used within disambiguation pages at the head of a list of persons known solely by a given name or surname, i.e. entries that are validly included in disambiguation pages in accordance with MOS:DABNAME. The archetypal examples are Elvis and Shakespeare.

The point of the template is (i) to demonstrate that the entries are correctly included on the disambiguation page, and (ii) to indicate implicitly that other persons who are not so known should not be added to the list on the dab page (but perhaps on the name page, unless it is a very common name).
