==Usage==<br />
This template is designed for use only on [[WP:DPAGES|disambiguation pages]] that contain only links to articles for people having the same name. It displays a notice on the page and includes it in the [[:Category:Human name disambiguation pages]], a subcategory of [[:Category:Disambiguation pages]]. It is similar in function to the {{tlx|Disambiguation}} template, which is used on general purpose disambiguation pages. Please refer to the following examples:<br />
* For a disambiguation page containing only human names (e.g. full given name and surname such as "Max Weber"), add (at bottom of page):<br />
: '''{{tnull|Hndis}}'''<br />
* For a disambiguation page containing both human names and other entries, do not use the {{tnull|hndis}} template. Instead, use:<br />
: '''{{tnull|Disambiguation|human name}}'''<br />
* The above methods sort the category entries by the page name, so ''[[Max Weber (disambiguation)]]'' would appear under "M" in ''[[:Category:Human name disambiguation pages]]''. To list the category entries by surname, add a [[Wikipedia:Categorization#Sort order|sort key]]:<br />
: '''{{tnull|Hndis|2=''Weber, Max''}}'''<br />
:: ''or:''<br />
: '''{{tnull|Hndis|2=name=''Weber, Max''}}'''<br />
:: ''generates:''<br />
: <nowiki>[[Category:Human name disambiguation pages|Weber, Max]]</nowiki><br />
* For human name disambiguation pages requiring cleanup, use {{tl|hndis-cleanup}}.<br />
<br />
==Choosing the proper template==<br />
* A page that lists "Ethan Allen (baseball player)" and "Ethan Allen (furniture company)" should use <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Disambiguation|disambiguation]]|hn<nowiki>}}</nowiki>.<br />
* A page that lists "Jayson L. Smeltsdorf" and "Jayson Q. Smeltsdorf" should use {{tlf|hndis}}.<br />
* A page that lists all people with the given name "Jayson" should use {{tl|given name}}.<br />
* A page that lists all people with the surname "Smeltsdorf" should use {{tlc|Disambiguation|surname}}.<br />
<br />
