The design and content of biographical infoboxes must comply with Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as the infobox and biographical style guidelines. All content displayed by this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy when applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed, especially if it is potentially libelous.

This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox person }}. Any field from {{Infobox person}} can work. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as {{Infobox person}}. Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please note that in 2016, the |religion= and |ethnicity= parameters were removed from Template:Infobox person as a result of the RfC: Religion in biographical infoboxes and the RfC: Ethnicity in infoboxes as clarified by this discussion.

Variant spellings are permitted for two parameters, and they affect how the information is presented - "color" or "colour". The examples below display as at right:

{{Infobox model
 | name = Jane Doe
 | hair_color = black
 | eye_color = brown
}}

 | eye_colour = green
}}

Note that if both spellings are present, |eye_color= and |hair_color= are ignored.

Microformat

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

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.

adr
