Creation (as this is needed)

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{lua|Module:sortkey}}
;Usage:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>sortname|''first''|''last''|''optional link target''|''optional sort key''}}</code>

Creates a wikilinked name that can be used in a sortable table (created with ''class="wikitable sortable"'').
*The default sort key is "''last'', ''first''".
*The link label is "''first'' ''last''".
*The default link target is "''first last''"
The optional link target is useful when "''first last''" is a disambiguation page instead of the desired article, or when linking to a section of a page.

The optional sort key is useful in the case of special characters such as é.

;Optional parameters
: <code>|dab=''disambiguator''</code>
:: Wikilinks to "''first last (disambiguator)''". (Note: ignored if ''optional link target'' is not blank.)
: <code>|nolink=1</code>
::Suppresses wikilinking the name, useful for list entries which are likely to never have articles so shouldn't be redlinked. (Note: ''optional link target'' ignored when "|nolink=1" used.)
