Embedding other templates edit

The |module= parameter may used to embed other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules).

Use as a child template edit

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 Wikipedia: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>
   }}
 }}

Microformats edit

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 edit

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 edit

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • bday
  • birthplace
  • category
  • country-name
  • deathdate
  • deathplace
  • extended-address
  • family-name
  • fn (required)
  • given-name
  • honorific-prefix
  • honorific-suffix
  • label
  • locality
  • n
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • role
  • url
  • vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
