Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography/Naming Deceased Indigenous Australians
Naming deceased Indigenous Australians is considered disrespectful. Family or community members may allow a person to be named, either granting permission to a specific group, or to all. Traditionally, many Indigenous Australian communities will stop using a persons name during a mourning period, and a substitute may be used instead.

[to do: find references backing up a consensus around naming practises. Or, create list of naming practises for different communities with clear examples.]

Template for Recently Deceased Indigenous Australians
Proposed name:

Based on Current event templates. Wording needs to be improved. More information needed on when to remove the template.

Create information on how a name or image can be used. Example: if permission is extended to one media publication it does not mean everyone can use a person's former name (i.e. SBS was granted permission to use Ms Dhu's name in their article)
