You seem to have the syntax right. If you just don't want to type stuff a
lot, then put your line into a tiddler like "parentage".
Then in the child's tiddler, put {{||parentage}} to have the names with
links appear. You can even wrap the code in 'parentage' so that it only
shows something if the parent(s) name is there. And/or make a template that
will only use the parentage template when the names are available.
