This infobox is used for any drivers with significant current or recent participations outside Formula One, the WRC, or NASCAR as part of an effort to streamline the range of infobox templates for motorsport articles. It is flexible enough to allow use with other templates for drivers with multi-discipline careers. See WikiProject Motorsport for more templates.
Use as a child template[change source]
The child, embed, and subbox parameters are 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 Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.
{{Infobox person
| name =
| image =
| caption =
| birth_date =
| birth_place =
| <!-- etc. -->
| module =
{{Infobox racing driver | child=yes <!-- or embed=yes or subbox=yes -->
| parameter-1 =
| parameter-2 =
| parameter-3 =
| parameter-4 =
| <!-- etc. -->
}}
}}
Embedding other templates[change source]
The module, module2, module3, module4, and module5 parameters are used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules and Category:Biographical templates usable as a module).
{{Infobox racing driver
| name =
| <!-- etc. -->
| module =
{{Infobox ABC
| embed = yes <!-- or child=yes / subbox=yes-->
| <!-- etc. -->
}}
}}
Microformat[change source]
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[change source]
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.
