Proposal to use footnote instead of hatnote

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

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?

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
