Converts a text in the form "Name(s) Surname" to the form "Surname, Name(s)", removing all diacritics in the process.

Syntax:

  • {{LastName}} returns the contents of {{PAGENAME}} after processing it.

Syntax with an optional parameter:


This template is meant to be used in conjunction with the magic word DEFAULTSORT inside Composer and User pages, delivering to it an appropriate sort key.

  • {{DEFAULTSORT:{{LastName}}}}

In the cases in which the template returns an invalid sort key, as for example "Rue, Pierre de la", use a textual key instead:

  • {{DEFAULTSORT:La Rue, Pierre de}}
