}}
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 |
|---|---|
| name | Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide birth_name (below) if different from name). |
| 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 Template:WPBiography on the talkpage. Do not use Image:Replace this image male.svg, Image:Replace this image female.svg or other placeholder images; the proposal to use such placeholders has been rejected by the community. |
| image_size (imagesize) |
Size to display image: 200px (set width), or 200x300px (max width & max height). This defaults to 225px if empty or omitted. |
| alt | Alt text for image, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT. |
| caption | Caption for image, if needed. Try to include date of photo and the photographer. |
| birth_name | Name at birth, if different from name. |
| birth_day | Day of birth: |- | '''birth_year''' | Year of birth: <nowiki> |- | '''birth_place''' | Place of birth: city, administrative region, sovereign state. |- | '''death_day''' | Day of death: |- | '''death_year''' | Year of death: |- | '''death_place''' | Place of death: city, administrative region, sovereign state. |- | '''resting_place''' | Place of burial, ash-scattering, etc. |- | '''resting_place_coordinates''' | Coordinates for place of burial, ash-scattering etc. |- | '''nationality''' | Nationality. May be used instead of citizenship (below) or vice versa in cases where any confusion could result. Should only be used <em>with</em> citizenship when they somehow differ. |- | '''known_for'''</br> (''known'') | A brief description of why the person is notable. |- | '''awards''' | Notable awards |- | '''website''' | Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under <nowiki>==External links== in the body of the article. |
| footnotes | Notes about any of the infobox data. |
| box_width | The infobox width, such as: box_width=220px (default: 22em). Space character between the number and the unit of measurement breaks the parameter. |
