== Usage ==
*'''{{tlc|Surname|{{var|display}}}}'''
:{{var|display}} &ndash; the unqualified [[surname]] [optional]

On English Wikipedia (en.WP), '''surname page''' – '''Foo (surname)''' – should have a brief [[MOS:LEAD|lead section]] that describes the [[etymological]] and (when applicable) the pronunciational history of the surname.  This can be a single sentence, as in the example, [[Cross (surname)]].  If this lead is absent, consider doing a little research in [[wikt:Wiktionary:Main Page|Wiktionary]], etc. to improve the surname page's opening.

Place {{tlc|Surname}} at the bottom of surname pages. Do not use this template on those [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages|disambiguation pages]] which contain a list of people by family name as well as the more usual types of other entries. Instead, categorize the disambiguation page by including the ''surname'' parameter with the {{tl|Disambiguation}} template. For example, {{tlc|Disambiguation|surname}}. This will include the disambiguation page in [[:Category:Surnames]].

If the page title is not the surname itself, add the surname as the first parameter. For example, [[Lee (surname)]] uses {{tlc|Surname|Lee}}. However, this parameter is for display purposes only. {{tlx|DEFAULTSORT}} controls sorting of all categories for consistency.

[[:Category:Surnames]] automatically includes all articles that have this template. Any [[:Category:Surnames by language|surname language categories]] should immediately follow {{tlc|Surname}} at the bottom of surname pages, after you have [[WP:V|verified]] them via [[WP:RS|reliable sources]].

[[:Category:Surname template has extra parameters]] includes any template instances with too many or obsolete parameters. This [[Wikipedia:Categorization#Non-article_and_maintenance_categories|maintenance category]] should ideally be empty, so correct any pages that appear in that category.

If it's just for a section, you can say so: {{tlx|Surname|section{{=}}y|Lee}}
Doing so will change the wording to say "this section" instead of "this article", and will also suppress the automatic generation of {{tlx|Short description|Surname list}}. If an article is a general article on a surname, that happens to contain a section with a list of people bearing the surname, it should instead have a manually added description at the top of the page, e.g. {{tnull|Short description|Elbonian surname}}.
