Template:PeopleMonthLead

Instructions for {{PeopleMonthLead}}

{{PeopleMonthLead}} is a template that puts an automatic lead on every month page that has a dab term of (people). It's necessary to ensure that every date page fully complies with T:LEADS and T:BOLD TEXT, but also to make sure that the individual page can be transcluded elsewhere on the wiki without the lead.

Usage

To see this phenomenon in action, note what happens when January (people) is transcluded here, using the following markup:

{{:January (people)}}

• 1935 - Actor David Brierley was born.
• 1980 - Set decorator Scott Slimon died.
• 1981 - Actor Esmond Webb died.
• 1997 - Camera operator Geoff Meldrum died.
• 1999 - Actor Edward Dentith died.
• 2019 - Grip Tex Childs died.
• 2021 - Actor Mary McMillan died.
• 2022 - Actor John Hogan died.
• 2023 - Actor Tim Barlow died.

Current text

The current value of this template is:

In PeopleMonthLead, a number of people important to the production of Doctor Who and its spin-offs either died or were born.

where PeopleMonthLead will be substituted by whatever the date is of the current page. So if you put it on January (people), it'll read January.
