Proposal to use footnote instead of hatnote[edit]

I started a discussion here as I believe these types of templates would be less jarring if they appeared as a supplementary footnote rather than a "warning" above the lead. —Designate (talk) 19:01, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesians with polynymic names[edit]

How is this template to be used with:

Indonesians who have polynymic names that are not patronymic but who go by their given names
Indonesians who have polynymic names but where the article writer does not know if it is a patronymic name?

See Ging Ginanjar. ^Bongo_matic 03:22, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

why there is no matronymic in indonesian?[edit]

well i cannot understand it. please in the current generation it is possible to have their name with matronym as a surname. i dont even know the law of indonesia allows them to have matronym. can you explain it? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:EDF0:5F20:BD99:82FB (talk) 06:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia entry on Indonesian name does note that matronyms are possible, but this particular entry is merely a hatnote template. To my knowledge, there are no Indonesian biographical entries with a matronym yet on English Wikipedia, so this template only accounts for patronymic instances. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 19:46, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
