Template:Alum

Template documentation

This set of templates are used to build a table for notable alumni of a school or an organization.

Related templates

{{AlumniStart}} — starts the table
{{end}} or {{AlumniEnd}} — ends the table

Usage

{{AlumniStart}}{{Alum|name=Name|year=Year|nota=Notability|ref=reference}}{{Alum|name=Name2|year=Year2|nota=Notability2|ref=reference2}}{{AlumniEnd}}

Parameters

{{AlumniStart}}

width: adjusts the table's width; defaults to 80%

{{Alum}}

name: Alumnus name; wikilink if possible. For proper sorting by family name, use the {{Sortname}} template instead of a straight name link.
year: graduation year; do not wikilink
nota: Notability
ref: reference

Optional columns can be added before and after the Notability column by using the parameters Option1 and Option2.

Images

To include images to the right of the table, a different syntax is used:

{{alum/start|ilist = |alist =}}

Where:

ilist: is the list of images, in image syntax
alist: is the alumni list formatted as above

Example

{{alum/start|ilist=[[Image:Albert Abraham Michelson2.jpg|thumb|100px|Albert Abraham Michelson]]|alist={{Alum|name={{sortname|Albert A.|Michelson}}<!-- Also listed in "Natural sciences and related fields"-->|year=1873|nota= [[Physicist]] who received the 1907 [[Nobel Prize in Physics]]; the first American to receive the [[Nobel Prize]] in sciences.
