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. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed. If a data field has more than one parameter name which can be used, the preferred name is listed first in bold print.
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| honorific_prefix | To appear on the line above the person's name |
| 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 lede of the article, and are not specified seperately in the birth_name field, include them here. |
| honorific_suffix | To appear on the line below the person's name |
| native_name | The person's name in their own language, if different. |
| native_name_lang | Wikipedia:ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fre" or "fra" for French. |
| image | Image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc. If an image is desired but not available, one may add "yes" to the "needs-photo" section of the Wikipedia:Template:WPBiography on the talkpage. If no image is available yet, do not use an image placeholder. |
| image_size (imagesize) |
Size to display image: 200px (set width), x300px (set height), or 200x300px (max width & max height). This defaults to frameless (default is 220px, but logged in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size) if empty or omitted. This parameter should not normally need to be set. |
| alt | Alt text for image, for visually impaired readers. One word (such as "photograph") is rarely sufficient. See Wikipedia:WP:ALT. |
| caption | Caption for image, if needed. Try to include date of photo and the photographer. |
| birth_name | Name at birth; only use if different from name. |
| bio1, bio2, bio3, bio4 | 4 paragraphs that can be used for the biography. |
| residence | Location(s) where the person notably resides/resided, if different from birth place. Do not use a flag template. |
| nationality | 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 somehow differ. Should only be used if nationality cannot be inferred from the birthplace. Do not use a flag template. |
| 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 | Wikipedia:Alma mater. This parameter is a more concise alternative to education, and will most often simply consist of the linked name of the last-attended higher education institution. It is usually not relevant to included either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise, as at Wikipedia:Bill Gates. |
| occupation | Occupation(s) as given in the lead. |
| employer | Employer(s), if relevant. |
| organization | Non-employing organization(s), if relevant. |
| notable_works | Title(s) of notable work(s) (publications, compositions, sculptures, films, etc.) by the subject, if any. |
| title | Multiple uses:
See also "awards" parameter, below, for awarded honors that are not really titles. A single award should not use both parameters. |
| awards | Notable awards. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead. See also "title" parameter, above, for awarded titles. A single award should not use both parameters. |
| module module2 module3 module4 module5 module6 |
Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. |
| 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 include the www. part unless the server is misconfigured and requires it. Use Wikipedia:camel case capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read.
|
| footnotes | Notes about any of the infobox data. |
| box_width | The infobox width, such as: box_width=220px (default: 22em). A space character between the number and the unit of measurement breaks the parameter. This parameter should not normally need to be set. |
