Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox person}}. Any field from {{Infobox person}} can work. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as {{Infobox person}}. Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox person.

The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow OODA WIKI's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous.

Use as a child template

The child parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another.

This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see OODA WIKI:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

{{Infobox person
 | name = 
 | image = 
 | caption = 
 | birth_date = 
 | birth_place = 
 | <nowiki><!--</nowiki> ''[[et cetera|etc.]]'' <nowiki>--></nowiki>
 | module = 
   <nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{{template|<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>EMBEDDED TEMPLATE NAME</noinclude>}}}}}} | {{#if:{{{parameter|}}} | {{{parameter}}}=yes | child=yes <nowiki><!--</nowiki> ''or'' embed=yes ''or'' subbox=yes <nowiki>--></nowiki>}}
   | {{{2|{{{example_parameter1|parameter-1}}}}}} = 
   | {{{3|{{{example_parameter2|parameter-2}}}}}} = 
   | {{{4|{{{example_parameter3|parameter-3}}}}}} = 
   | {{{5|{{{example_parameter4|parameter-4}}}}}} = 
   | <nowiki><!--</nowiki> ''etc.'' <nowiki>--></nowiki>
   }}
 }}

Embedding other templates

The module parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules).

{{Infobox aviator
| name = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox football biography | embed = yes
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

adr
