Documentation for Template:BioHeader transcluded from Template:BioHeader/doc.

This template provides a standard header for biography pages in the ISFDB (normally found in the "Bio:" namespace). It provides a link to the standard author page (summery bibliography) in the database.

Usage

This template is normally used with no parameters, placed on the first line of the Bio: page. It will take the name to be linked to from the name of the page on which it is used. Used in this way, the wiki code is:

{{BioHeader}}

On rare occasions, the name of the person (author) in the database is different from the name of the wiki page. In such a case, the optional name parameter may be used. In this case the wiki code is:

{{BioHeader|name=<Actual Name>}}

where <Actual Name> is replaced with the exact name in the database that the page should link to.
