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

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

This template uses Lua:

To use the template, copy the wikitext below, and paste it in the top section of the article’s main page. If the article is not divided into sections, it should be placed on top. Then, fill out the data fields. You can omit any unused fields.

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.

Classes[change source]

adr

Tracking categories[change source]

Category:Pages using deprecated image syntax (4) – Used by Module:InfoboxImage to track articles where an infobox uses image syntax in the format |image=[[File:Example.jpg]]. To exclude articles from this category, change it to |image=Example.jpg.
Category:No local image but image on Wikidata (851) – Used by Template:Wikidata image to track articles where an infobox has no image but Wikidata has an image name. To exclude articles from this category, add an image or |nocat_wdimage=yes to the infobox.
