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

It is not intended to be used for mythological figures (consider using other infoboxes for them like {{Infobox character}}). It is not intended to be used for biographies not having any religion (consider using other infobox for them like {{Infobox philosopher}}).

Notes

Separate multiple values using {{plainlist}} or {{flatlist}}.

To use the US-style "MM DD, YYYY" date format in date-producing templates, omit |df=y.

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
