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

This template is used on approximately 23,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation).

The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous.

This template adds an automatically generated short description (only if either |title= or |succession= has a value). If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.

This template uses Lua:

This template may be used for anyone having royal connections. This template is only for historic biographies and must not be used for mythical / legendary characters or creatures. You can use other templates for them, such as {{Infobox character}}.

Parameters

All parameters are optional (even "name" can be taken from PAGENAME).

name / title / type / image
name =	Most common name in English-language sources (e.g. George III; Prince William (not William, Duke of Cumberland); Sophie (neither Princess Edward nor Princess Sophie); Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (rather than Queen Elizabeth); Prince William (rather than Prince William of Wales) etc.)
title =	Principal substantive title(s) in use (e.g. King of England; prev. Duke of Edinburgh) (omit this field if any one "succession(X)" field would be identical to it). Automatically italicized, so do not use {{plainlist}} or similar templates; use `<br />` for line breaks.

image_size =	Size to display image: 200px (set width), x300px (set height), or 200x300px (max width & max height).

This parameter should not normally need to be set.
alt =	Alt text for the image, for visually impaired readers see WP:ALT

full name =	English/Anglicised full legal non-titular name (current/most recent), with maiden name '(née Whatever)' and translation in their native/official tongue(s) on a new line (each) underneath (use a ''{{lang-XX\|}}'' multilingual support template)

house-type =	Optional alternative text for 'Royal house', such as 'Dynasty' or 'Family' (dependent upon "house")
father =	Most common shorthand name, do not use preceding styles (e.g. HM). May include multiple individuals, such as (biological), (adoptive) or (hānai). See also note for 'predecessor'.

Use as a child template

The embed 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 = 
 | <nowiki><!--</nowiki> ''[[et cetera|etc.]]'' <nowiki>--></nowiki>
 | module = 
   <nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{{template|<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>EMBEDDED TEMPLATE NAME</noinclude>}}}}}} | {{#if:{{{parameter|}}} | {{{parameter}}}=yes | child=yes <nowiki><!--</nowiki> ''or'' embed=yes ''or'' subbox=yes <nowiki>--></nowiki>}}
   | {{{2|{{{example_parameter1|parameter-1}}}}}} = 
   | {{{3|{{{example_parameter2|parameter-2}}}}}} = 
   | {{{4|{{{example_parameter3|parameter-3}}}}}} = 
   | {{{5|{{{example_parameter4|parameter-4}}}}}} = 
   | <nowiki><!--</nowiki> ''etc.'' <nowiki>--></nowiki>
   }}
 }}

Embedding other templates

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

{{Infobox royalty
| name = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox military person | embed=yes
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Notes

Peer wikilinks: The wikilinks of substantive peers (or those in another kind of numbered succession) should always show that number (eg Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall rather than Richard, Earl of Cornwall), unless other conventions say otherwise (such as that one should always see Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, never Prince Edward, 2nd Duke of Kent). Generally, use the article's title, omitting surplus fore- and surnames or disambiguation.

Microformats

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.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
bday
birthplace
category
country-name
deathdate
deathplace
extended-address
family-name
fn (required)
given-name
honorific-prefix
honorific-suffix
label

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
