Template documentation

مُختصَر وتھ

{{Personbox}}

The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia'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.

This template is used on approximately 345٬000 pages, or roughly 2436% of all pages.
About 311,000 of them (90%) are in mainspace.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Please note that in 2016, the |religion= and |ethnicity= parameters were removed from Infobox person as a result of the RfC: Religion in biographical infoboxes and the RfC: Ethnicity in infoboxes as clarified by this discussion.

Parameters

Do not use all these parameters for any one person. The list is long to cover a wide range of people. Only use those parameters that convey essential or notable information about the subject, and ensure that this information is sourced in the article or (if present only in the infobox) in the infobox itself.

Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed. Many parameters have alternative names, implemented for compatibility with other templates (especially to aid merging). The preferred names are shown in the table below.

Parameter	Explanation
`honorific_prefix`	To appear on the line above the person's name. This is for things like `\|honorific_prefix=Sir` – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods and titles of nobility; do not use it for routine things like "Dr." or "Ms."
`name`	Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide `\|birth_name=` (below) if different from `\|name=`). If middle initials are specified (or implied) by the lead of the article, and are not specified separately in the `\|birth_name=` parameter, include them here. Do not put honorifics or alternative names in this parameter. There are separate parameters for these things, covered below.
`honorific_suffix`	To appear on the line below the person's name. This is for things like `\|honorific_suffix=[[Officer of the Order of the British Empire\|OBE]]` – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "BA". It is permissible but not required to use the `{{post-nominals}}` template inside this parameter; doing so requires `{{post-nominals\|size=100%\|...}}`.
`image`	Image name: `abc.jpg`, `xpz.png`, `123.gif`, etc., without the `File:` or `Image:` prefix. If an image is desired but not available, one may add `yes` to the `\|needs-photo=` parameter of the `{{WikiProject Biography}}` template on the talk page. If no image is available yet, do not use an image placeholder.
`image_upright`	Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).
`landscape`	Set to `yes` when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels.
`alt`	Descriptive `alt` text for the image, for visually impaired readers. One word (such as `photograph`) is rarely sufficient. Do not copy-paste the value of `\|caption=` (below) into this parameter. Example of the difference: "Willie Nelson at a concert in Dallas, 1989" is good as `\|caption=` value; "Nelson in western-wear with an acoustic guitar, on stage in a daytime show with band in background" is an `\|alt=` description. If nothing meaningful can be said that isn't already in the caption, use the stock text `\|alt=refer to caption`.
`caption`	Caption for image, if needed. Try to include the date of photo, some context, and the photographer if known (check the `File:` or Commons page for the image).
`native_name`	The person's name in their own language, if different.
`native_name_lang`	ISO 639-1 code, e.g., "`fr`" for French. If more than one, use `{{lang}}` around each name in `\|native_name=` instead.
`pronunciation`	Details of how to pronounce the individual's native name.
`birth_name`	Name at birth; only use if different from `\|name=`.
`birth_date`	Date of birth: Use `{{birth date and age}}` (if living) or `{{birth date}}` (if dead). See template's page for details on usage. If only a year of birth is known, or age as of a certain date, consider using `{{birth year and age}}` or `{{birth based on age as of date}}`. For living people supply only the year unless the exact date is already widely published. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use `{{birth year and age}}` or a similar option. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
`birth_place`	Place of birth: `city, administrative region, country`. Use the name of the birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: `Saigon` (prior to 1976) or `Ho Chi Minh City` (post-1976). Do not use a flag template, coat of arms, or other icon. Omit unnecessary or redundant details. For example, it is not necessary to state: `New York City, New York, United States` when `New York City, U.S.` conveys essentially the same information more concisely. Countries should generally not be linked. For modern subjects, the country should generally be a sovereign state; for United Kingdom locations, the constituent countries of the UK are sometimes used instead, when more appropriate in the context. For historical subjects, use the place name most appropriate for the context and our readership. What the place may correspond to on a modern map is a matter for an article's main text. For subsequent places (of death, etc.) it is not necessary to repeat jurisdictional details or links for the same place name.
`baptised`	Date of baptism: Only for use when birth date is not known (e.g., for Ludwig van Beethoven). Will not display if a birth date is entered. Do not use subtemplates. Parameter `baptized` can be used for articles that use American english spelling.
`disappeared_date`	(For missing people) Date of disappearance: Use `{{disappeared date and age}}` (if birth date is known) or `{{disappeared date}}` (if birth date unknown).
`disappeared_place`	(For missing people) Place of disappearance: `city, administrative region, country`. (See `\|birth_place=`, above, for instructions on how to use this parameter, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
`disappeared_status`	(For missing people) Current status for the person, e.g., if the person is still regarded as missing (using `{{missing for}}` to calculate the time since disappearance), or if the person has been declared dead in absentia, with a date for such a ruling.
`death_date`	Date of death: Use `{{death date and age}}` (if birth date is known) or `{{death date}}` (if birth date unknown). See template's page for details on usage. If exact dates are unknown, consider using `{{death year and age}}`. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
`death_place`	Place of death: `city, administrative region, country`. (See `\|birth_place=`, above, for instructions on how to use this parameter, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
`death_cause`	Cause of death. Should be clearly defined and sourced, and should only be included when the cause of death has significance for the subject's notability, e.g. James Dean, John Lennon. It should not be filled in for unremarkable deaths such as those from old age or routine illness, e.g. Bruce Forsyth, Eduard Khil.
`body_discovered`	Place where the body was discovered (if different from place of death). `city, administrative region, country`. (See `\|birth_place=`, above, for instructions on how to use this parameter, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
`burial_place`	Place of burial `city, administrative region, country`. (See `\|birth_place=`, above, for instructions on how to use this parameter, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc. See `\|resting_place=` for non-burials.)
`burial_coordinates`	Coordinates for place of burial, to accompany `\|burial_place=`. Use `{{coord}}` template.
`resting_place`	Location of columbarium, ash-scattering, etc. If no location, leave blank. `city, administrative region, country`. (See `\|birth_place=`, above, for instructions on how to use this parameter, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
`resting_place_coordinates`	Coordinates for location of columbarium, ash-scattering etc. Use `{{coord}}` template.
`monuments`	Significant monuments erected, buildings named, etc., in honour of the subject. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead.
`nationality`	May be used instead of `\|citizenship=` (below) or vice versa in cases where any confusion could result. Should only be used with `\|citizenship=` when they differ. (See `\|birth_place=`, above, for instructions on how to use this parameter, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
`other_names`	Other notable names for the person, if different from `\|name=` and `\|birth_name=`. This can include stage names, maiden/married names, nicknames, criminal aliases, etc.
`siglum`	Siglum or monogram, a text shortcut (often formed from the initials of the name, with variations) used to sign work, if relevant.
`citizenship`	Country of legal citizenship, if different from nationality. Rarely needed. See usage notes for `\|nationality=`, above. Should only be used if citizenship differs from the value in `\|nationality=` and cannot be inferred from the birthplace. Note that many countries do not automatically grant citizenship to people born within their borders. (See `\|birth_place=`, above, for instructions on how to use this parameter, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
`education`	Education, e.g., degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant. If very little information is available or relevant, the `\|alma_mater=` parameter may be more appropriate.
`alma_mater`	Alma mater. This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) `\|education=`, and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools). It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise, as perhaps at Bill Gates.
`occupation`	Occupation(s) as given in the lead. Use list markup for three or more entries, e.g. with `{{flatlist}}`. Please observe sentence case and capitalise only the first letter of the first item; e.g.: Musician singer-songwriter actor
`years_active`	Date range in years during which the subject was active in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format `1950–2000`, or `1970–present` if still active. Date ranges always use an en dash, not hyphen. If no dates of birth and/or death are known for the subject, only a floruit date range, as is common with ancient subjects, this parameter can be used for it. If approximate (circa) dates are known for either or both, put them in the `\|birth_date=` and `\|death_date=` parameters. Helpful templates: `{{floruit}}`, `{{circa}}`.
`era`	Era (e.g., `Medieval`) in which the person lived; less specific than `\|years_active=`. Should not be used if dates are available.
`employer`	Employer(s), if relevant.
`organization` or `organisation`	Non-employing organization(s), if relevant.
`agent`	The subject's agent (individual and/or agency), discouraged in most cases, specifically when promotional, and requiring a reliable source.
`known_for`	A brief description of why the person is notable.
`notable_works`; alternatives: `credits` `label_name` `works`	Title(s) of notable work(s) (publications, compositions, sculptures, films, etc.) by the subject, if any. Produces the label Notable work. May be overridden by `\|credits=`, which produces Notable credit(s); or by `\|works=`, which produces Works; or by `\|label_name=`, which produces Label(s). The `\|notable_works=`, `\|credits=`, and `\|label_name=` parameters are intended to be (at most) short inline lists. The `\|label_name=` variant is used for one or more record labels with which a performer is associated, or a fashion label in which a designer has been heavily involved or for which they are well known. Remember that this parameter is an alternative to the others mentioned here and is not used along with them. The `\|works=` variant is intended to link to a specific list article for a larger body of work (not all of which may be individually notable).
`style`	The style of the subject's works, if applicable. This parameter is not for styles of address or office; see `\|honorific_prefix=`.
`net_worth`	Current estimated net worth, if relevant. Please be sure to support with a citation from a reliable source, in the article body.
`height`	If person was notable for their height, or if height is relevant. If used, this should also include the year of the measurement if the person had not reached full adulthood when this stat was published. See documentation of this parameter at Template:Infobox sportsperson for more information.
`television`	Television programmes presented by or closely associated with the subject. For multiple entries, use an inline list.
`title`	Multiple uses: Formal title, such as `First Lady of Japan` for Akie Abe. Awarded title, such as `Mr. Olympia` for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Job title, such as `President of Calvin College` for Anthony Diekema. A combination of the above, such as `Professor of Mathematics` and `Fellow of the Royal Society` for Bill Parry For multiple entries, use an inline list. Use the `\|awards=` parameter, below, for awarded honors that are not really titles. A single award should not use both parameters.
`office`	May be used as an alternative to `\|title=` when the label is better displayed as Office (e.g. public office or appointments). Using this parameter will override `\|title=`.
`term`	Years the person held the `\|title=` or `\|office=` listed above. Helpful template: `{{reign}}` (also used for civil offices).
`predecessor`	Person who previously held the `\|title=` or `\|office=` listed above.
`successor`	Person who subsequently held the `\|title=` or `\|office=` listed above.
`party`	If relevant. Field labelled Political party.
`movement`	If relevant. Can be social, political (non-party), artistic, philosophical, literary, cultural, etc.
`opponents`	Notable relevant opponents (e.g., for major political office).
`boards`	For board of directors membership(s), if relevant. Field labeled Board member of.
`criminal_charges` `criminal_penalty` `criminal_status`	For convicted criminals only. Please be certain to support these parameters with citations from reliable sources, in the article body.
`spouse`	Name of spouse(s), followed by years of marriage. Use the format Name (married 1950–present) for a current spouse, and Name (married 1970–99) for former spouse(s). Use article title (if linking) or common name. For multiple entries, use an inline list. For deceased persons still married at time of death, do not include the end year.
`partner`	If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; "partner" here means unmarried life partners in a domestic partnership (of any gender or sexual orientation), not business partner. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current partner and Name (1970–1999) for former partner(s).
`children`	Typically the number of children (e.g., `3`); only list names of independently notable or particularly relevant children. Names may be preceded by a number to show total children and avoid implying that named children are the only offspring. For multiple entries, use an inline list. For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of living children, unless notable.
`parents`	Names of parents; include only if they are independently notable or particularly relevant. For multiple entries, use an inline list. If subject has only one notable mother and/or only one notable father, `\|mother=` and `\|father=` parameters may be used instead. These parameters may be used for biological, adoptive, foster, or step-parents.
`mother`	Name of mother; include only if subject has one mother who is independently notable or particularly relevant. Displays Parent(s) as label, and is overridden by the `\|parents=` parameter.
`father`	Name of father; include only if subject has one father who is independently notable or particularly relevant. Displays Parent(s) as label, and is overridden by the `\|parents=` parameter.
`relatives`	Names of siblings or other relatives; include only if independently notable and particularly relevant. Include the relationship in parentheses after the name (sister, uncle, etc.). For multiple entries, use an inline list.
`callsign`	Amateur radio call sign, if relevant.
`awards`	Notable awards. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead. Use `\|title=` parameter, above, for awarded titles; A single award should not use both parameters.
`website`	Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under `==External links==` in the body of the article. Use `{{URL}}` as in `{{URL\|Example.com}}`. Do not display the `www.` part unless the site requires it.
`module` `module2` `module3` `module4` `module5` `module6`	Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. Example: {{Infobox person \| name = Paul McCartney ... \| module = {{Infobox musical artist \| embed = yes \| instrument = piano ... }} ... }} For more detailed information, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/embed.
`signature`	An image of the person's signature. Please use image name: `abc.jpg`, `xpz.png`, `123.gif`, etc., without the `File:` or `Image:` prefix
`signature_size`	Default is `150px`. If necessary, a signature can be resized manually as per the `\|image_size=` parameter.
`signature_alt`	Alt text for the signature image. For example, for `File:Thomas Jefferson Signature.svg`, the alt text might be `\|signature_alt= Th: Jefferson`, spelling out the signature exactly as it appears in the image.
`footnotes`	Textual notes about any of the infobox data. This is not for reference citations. If an infobox parameter's value needs a citation, cite inline at the end of the value. Citations will appear in the article's references section along with the other citations in the article.
`image_size`	Deprecated. Size to display image: `200px` (set width), `x300px` (set height), or `200x300px` (max width & max height). If empty or omitted, this defaults to `frameless` (default is `300px`, but logged-in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size). Use of this parameter is discouraged. Use image_upright instead. Do not use "×" or capital "X"

Inline lists

Parameters with multiple values should be formatted with inline-list templates.

Horizontal ones include {{hlist}} or {{flatlist}}. In horizontal style, only the first item is capitalized (aside from proper names).

This style is best for short items, and few of them. Mid-dots, commas or semicolons are available as separators (use semicolons or mid-dots if any items contain their own commas). For example:

|parameter_name={{hlist |Foo |bar |baz}} →
- Foo
- bar
- baz
|parameter_name={{cslist |Foo |bar |baz}} →
- Foo
- bar
- baz
|parameter_name={{cslist |Foo, fee |bar, bor |baz, biz |semi=true}} →
- Foo, fee
- bar, bor
- baz, biz

Horizontal list example with {{hlist|Item one|item two|item three}}:

Item one
item two
item three

Vertical templates are {{plainlist}} and {{unbulleted list}} (vertical), use unbulleted, non-indented lists for clean display in infoboxes. Entries may be all sentence case, or all lowercase (aside from proper names) after the first.

This style is best for long items, and longer lists. For long lists of information that may not be of immediate interest but retained for reference, the {{collapsible list}} template can be used; this is not a universally accessible option, so should not be used for key information.

Do not use ‎<br /> markup to create fake lists, as in: Item one item two item three.

Vertical list example:, using {{unbulleted list|Item one|item two|item three}}:

Item one
item two
item three

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.
