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 | ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use
{{lang}} in |
| 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. 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 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. |
| birth_date | Date of birth:
{{birth date and age}} (if living) or {{birth date}} (if dead). See Template:Birth date and age/doc 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}}. |
| birth_place | Place of birth: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Use the name of the birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: Saigon (prior to 1976), Ho Chi Minh City (post 1976). Do not use a flag template. |
| disappeared_date | (For missing people) Date of disappearance:
{{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, sovereign state. Do not use a flag template. |
| 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:
{{death date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{death date}} (if birth date unknown). See Template:Death date/doc for details on usage. If exact dates are unknown, consider using {{death year and age}}. |
| death_place | Place of death: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Note: Do not use a flag template. Use the name of the deathplace at the time of death, e.g.: Saigon (prior to 1976), Ho Chi Minh City (post 1976) |
| death_cause | Cause of death. |
| body_discovered | Place where the body was discovered (if different from place of death). Do not use a flag template. |
| resting_place | Place of burial, ash-scattering, etc. Do not use a flag template. |
| resting_place_coordinates | Coordinates for place of burial, 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. |
| 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. |
| other_names | Other notable names for the person, if different from name and birth_name. |
| ethnicity | Ethnicity. Please be sure to support with a citation from a reliable source, in the article body. |
| citizenship | Country of legal citizenship, if different from nationality. Rarely needed. See usage notes for nationality above. Should only be used if citizenship 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 | 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 Bill Gates.
|
| occupation | Occupation(s) as given in the lead. |
| 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 (note the use of 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.

| agent | The subject's agent (individual and/or agency), if relevant. |

| influenced | People who were influenced by the subject. Clear and notable examples only. Can also be used to indicate groups, schools of thought, etc. (but beware grandiose claims and supposition). |
| home_town | The place where the person was raised and matured, if different from birth place and residence. |
| salary | Annual salary or compensation, if relevant. |
| 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. |
| weight | If person was notable for their weight, or if weight is relevant. If used, this should also include the year of the measurement. See documentation of this parameter at Template:Infobox sportsperson for more information. |

See also "awards" parameter, below, for awarded honors that are not really titles. A single award should not use both parameters. |

| criminal_charge 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(s) | Name of spouse(s), followed by years of marriage. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current spouse and Name (1970–1999) for former spouse(s); for convenience, consider using
{{marriage}}. Separate entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. For deceased persons still married at time of death, close the date range with death year. |
| partner(s) | For unmarried life partners (of any gender or sexual preference), not business partners. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current partner and Name (1970–1999) for former partner(s). |
| children | Number of children (e.g. three or 3), or list of names, in which case, separate entries using
{{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of children of living persons, unless the children are independently notable. |

| module module2 module3 module4 module5 module6 |
