The Name (n) Template

Want to include a person's rank or title? Use Template:Nrank!
Want to make a link white rather than blue? Use Template:Nwhite!
Want to make a link another color besides blue or white? Use Template:Ncolor!

This template simplifies the process of creating a wiki link for an officer with both a first name and a last name. Rather than have to create a link like this: [[Last_Name, First_Name|First_Name Last_Name]], you can now just type this: {{n|First_Name|Last_Name}} and you will get the same link. For instance, let's try

{{n|Tenzin|Zhou}}

Tenzin Zhou

Beautiful.

Those with one name (or those written with their family name first such as the Bajorans) will work as well if treated as one name:

{{n|Solok}}

Solok

{{n|Anora Manar}}

Anora Manar

However, this is just as easily done with the normal wikilinking method (i.e., [[Solok]]) and is included more as a "hidden" feature for templates that incorporate Template:N such as Template:Roster and Template:Crew.
