→https://www.aaregistry.org/story/Paul-Winfield

John Harold Johnson at the African American Registry

→{{aaregistry|John H. Johnson|John Harold Johnson}}

The short URL for John H. Johnson includes a period, which is also automatically parsed.

Madame Sul-Te-Wan at the African American Registry

→{{aaregistry|Beautiful and talented, Madame Sul-Te-Wan|Madame Sul-Te-Wan}}

As is the case for Madame Sul-Te-Wan, sometimes {{PAGENAMEBASE}} doesn't do the trick. In such cases the article title can be used.
