Template documentation
Like {{Annotated link}}, but for biographies with the |dash=,
and |prefix_parentheses=y
options pre-set.
The |abbr=
parameter can be used to add years in parentheses.
You could also add the parentheses in the {{short description}} of the target article, but note that per WP:SDDATES this can vary for biographies, in which case annotated biography links in lists of people can use this option to add lifetime dates to make the lists consistent per MOS:LISTFORMAT. See Module:Annotated link#prefix parentheses.
