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 "Template:!mxt" or "Template:!mxt"
name	Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide Template:Para (below) if different from Template:Para). If middle initials are specified (or implied) by the lead of the article, and are not specified separately in the Template:Para 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 "Template:!mxt". It is permissible but not required to use the Template:Tlx template inside this parameter; doing so requires Template:Tlx.
image	Image name: Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd, etc., without the Template:Samp or Template:Samp prefix. If an image is desired but not available, one may add Template:Kbd to the Template:Para parameter of the Template:Tlx 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 Template:Kbd) is rarely sufficient. Do not copy-paste the value of Template:Para (below) into this parameter. Example of the difference: "Willie Nelson at a concert in Dallas, 1989" is good as Template:Para value; "Nelson in western-wear with an acoustic guitar, on stage in a daytime show with band in background" is an Template:Para description. If nothing meaningful can be said that isn't already in the caption, use the stock text Template:Para.
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., "Template:Kbd" for French. If more than one, use Template:Tlx around each name in Template:Para instead.
pronunciation	Details of how to pronounce the individual's native name.
birth_name	Name at birth; only use if different from Template:Para.
birth_date	Date of birth: Use Template:Tlx (if living) or Template:Tlx (if dead). Template:Crossref If only a year of birth is known, or age as of a certain date, consider using Template:Tlx or Template:Tlx. 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 Template:Tlx 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.
Template:Anchorbirth_place	Place of birth: Template:Kbd. Use the name of the birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: Template:Kbd (prior to 1976) or Template:Kbd (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: Template:!xt when Template:Xt 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: Template:Em 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 Template:Tlx (if birth date is known) or Template:Tlx (if birth date unknown).
disappeared_place	(For missing people) Place of disappearance: Template:Kbd.  (Template:Crossref, 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 Template:Tlx to calculate the time since disappearance), or if the person has been [[Declared death in absentia|declared dead Template:Lang]], with a date for such a ruling.
death_date	Date of death: Use Template:Tlx (if birth date is known) or Template:Tlx (if birth date unknown). Template:Crossref If exact dates are unknown, consider using Template:Tlx. 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: Template:Kbd.  (Template:Crossref, 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). Template:Kbd.  (Template:Crossref, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
burial_place	Place of burial Template:Kbd.  (Template:Crossref, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc. Template:Crossref.)
burial_coordinates	Coordinates for place of burial, to accompany Template:Para. Use Template:Tlx template.
resting_place	Location of columbarium, ash-scattering, etc. If no location, leave blank. Template:Kbd.  (Template:Crossref, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
resting_place_coordinates	Coordinates for location of columbarium, ash-scattering etc. Use Template:Tlx 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	Template:AnchorMay be used instead of Template:Para (below) or vice versa in cases where any confusion could result. Should only be used Template:Em Template:Para when they differ. (Template:Crossref, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
other_names	Other notable names for the person, if different from Template:Para and Template:Para. 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 Template:Para, above. Should only be used if citizenship differs from the value in Template:Para and cannot be inferred from the birthplace. Note that many countries do not automatically grant citizenship to people born within their borders. (Template:Crossref, 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 Template:Para parameter may be more appropriate.
alma_mater	Alma mater. This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) Template:Para, 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 Template:Tlx. Please observe sentence case and capitalise only the first letter of the first item; e.g.:
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 Template:Para and Template:Para parameters. Helpful templates: Template:Tlx, Template:Tlx.
era	Era (e.g., Template:Kbd) in which the person lived; less specific than Template:Para. 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.
Template:Unbulleted list	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 Template:Para, which produces Notable credit(s); or by Template:Para, which produces Works; or by Template:Para, which produces Label(s). The Template:Para, Template:Para, and Template:Para parameters are intended to be (at most) short inline lists. The Template:Para 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 Template:Para variant is intended to link to Template:Em for a larger body of work (not all of which may be individually notable).
style	The style of the subject's works, if applicable. Template:Crossref
home_town	The place where the person was raised and matured, if different from birthplace. Template:Kbd.  (Template:Crossref, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
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. Template:Crossref
television	Television programmes presented by or Template:Em associated with the subject. For multiple entries, use an inline list.
title	Multiple uses: Formal title, such as Template:Kbd for Akie Abe. Awarded title, such as Template:Kbd for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Job title, such as Template:Kbd for Anthony Diekema. A combination of the above, such as Template:Kbd and Template:Kbd for Bill Parry For multiple entries, use an inline list. Use the Template:Para 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 Template:Para when the label is better displayed as Office (e.g. public office or appointments). Using this parameter will override Template:Para.
term	Years the person held the Template:Para or Template:Para listed above. Helpful template: Template:Tlx (also used for civil offices).
predecessor	Person who previously held the Template:Para or Template:Para listed above.
successor	Person who subsequently held the Template:Para or Template:Para 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.
Template:Ubl	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, close the date range with death year.
partner	If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; "partner" here means unmarried life partners (of any gender or sexual preference), 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., Template:Kbd); 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. Template:Em
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, Template:Para and Template:Para parameters may be used instead. These parameter 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 Template:Para 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 Template:Para parameter.
relatives	Names of siblings or other relatives; include only if independently notable or 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 Template:Para 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 Template:Tlx as in Template:Tnull. Do not display the Template:Samp part unless the site requires it.
Template:Ubl	Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. Example: <syntaxhighlight lang="html"> Infobox person/doc [[File:|200px]] PDF | Zenodo Document metadata Template:Main otherTemplate:Wikidata image </syntaxhighlight> Template:Crossref
signature	An image of the person's signature. Please use image name: Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd, etc., without the Template:Samp or Template:Samp prefix
signature_size	Default is Template:Samp. If necessary, a signature can be resized manually as per the Template:Para parameter.
signature_alt	Alt text for the signature image. For example, for Template:Samp, 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	Template:Strongbad. Size to display image: Template:Kbd (set width), Template:Kbd (set height), or Template:Kbd (max width & max height). If empty or omitted, this defaults to Template:Samp (default is Template:Samp, 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 "Template:!mxt" or capital "Template:!mxt"

Inline lists

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

Horizontal ones include Template:Tlx or Template:Tlx. 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}} → Template:Hlist
• |parameter_name={{cslist |Foo |bar |baz}} → Template:Cslist
• |parameter_name={{cslist |Foo, fee |bar, bor |baz, biz |semi=true}} → Template:Cslist

Horizontal list example with Template:Tlx: Template:Hlist

Vertical templates are Template:Tlx and Template:Tlx (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 Template:Tlx template can be used; this is not a universally accessible option, so should not be used for key information.

[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Line breaks|Do not use Template:Tag markup]] to create fake lists, as in: Template:!mxt.

Vertical list example:, using Template:Tlx: Template:Unbulleted list
