Usage

Adapted form of {{header}} to allow for ready presentation of Dictionary of Indian Biography

{{Dictionary of Indian Biography
 | previous =

 | from     = 
 | to       = 
 | notes    = 
}}

Notes

This template makes use of the magic word {{SUBPAGENAME}}, the only issue is that {{SUBPAGENAME}} and apostrophes are not good playmates. Editors will need to force this when creating biography articles adding the onlysection with the article name.

onlysection = <add subpagename>
