Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 is a customized wrapper for the {{Infobox person}} template, which means it's built upon the other template's code. All parameters from {{Infobox person}} will work here. If you have questions, ask at the talk page!

This template uses Lua:

Parameters

This is a list of the most commonly-used parameters. For a full list, please see here.

name: The aviator's name. When not specified, it defaults to the Wikipedia article's title ({{PAGENAME}}).
image: Image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc.
image_size: 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:Alternative text for images.
caption: Caption for image, if needed. Try to include date of photo and the photographer.
native_name: Name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{Plain list}}
native_name_lang: ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} instead

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. Note: Do not use a flag template.

Use as a child template

The child parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another.

This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

{{Infobox person
| name = 
| image = 
| caption = 
| birth_date = 
| birth_place = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{EMBEDDED TEMPLATE NAME | child=yes <!-- or embed=yes or subbox=yes -->
  | parameter-1 = 
  | parameter-2 = 
  | parameter-3 = 
  | parameter-4 = 
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Embedding other templates

The module parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules).

{{Infobox aviator
| name = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox football biography | embed = yes
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

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
