Template:Order

From Gineipaedia, the Legend of Galactic Heroes wiki

The following documentation is transcluded from Template:Order/doc:

Description

Shortcut template for producing 'East-Asian name conventions' info notices.

Syntax

{{order|[<type of subject>]|[<origin of convention>]}}

Sample output

{{order}} produces:

Note: This person's name uses Japanese conventions (surname before given name).

{{order|character|Vietnamese}} produces:

Note: This character's name uses Vietnamese conventions (surname before given name).

Notes

This template was created to address potential reader confusion regarding the names of characters and real-life persons — such as Tanaka Yoshiki and Nguyen Kim Hua — which use East-Asian conventions. It is meant to be placed at the very bottom of an article.

Since the vast majority of articles this template will be used in are for real-life production staff and voice actors, it defaults to 'person' and 'Japanese' for its two arguments, as illustrated above. If a different convention is used (such as Vietnamese or Chinese), the topic argument (person/character) is required.
