Template:Mathematician entry/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Mathematician entry (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is intended for use in tables of mathematicians which are sortable by name, dates, quality, importance and field.

Examples:

  • {{Wikipedia:Mathematician entry/doc|Pythagoras|Top|B-Class}}
  • {{Wikipedia:Mathematician entry/doc|Hermann Weyl|High|Bplus-Class}}
  • {{Wikipedia:Mathematician entry/doc|Blaise Pascal|High|FA-Class}}
  • {{Wikipedia:Mathematician entry/doc|Zu Geng|Mid|Unassessed-Class}}
  • {{Wikipedia:Mathematician entry/doc|Robert M. Solovay|Unassessed|GA-Class}}
  • {{Wikipedia:Mathematician entry/doc|Pierre de Fermat|High|Start-Class}}
  • {{Wikipedia:Mathematician entry/doc|Carl Friedrich Gauss|Top|FA-Class}}


As part of a suitable table, these produce the following output:
