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

This template uses Lua:

{{Infobox astronaut}} may be used in an article about a person who is an astronaut or cosmonaut.

Usage

This infobox may be added by copy-pasting the template as shown below into an article.

Parameters

These are the most commonly-used parameters. The template accepts all parameters that {{Infobox person}} does. To see a complete list of those parameters, see here.

Parameter	Explanation
name	Commonly-known name of person (defaults to article name, without disambiguation)
honorific_prefix	To appear on the line above the person's name
honorific_suffix	To appear on the line below the person's name
image	A picture of or including the person. Use file name only, without the brackets and File: or Image: prefix (abc.jpg, xyz.png, 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	Alternative text for image, for visually impaired readers (see WP:ALT)
caption	Caption to accompany image. If a (portrait) photograph of the person, try to include date of photo and photographer's name.
type	Sponsoring agency (NASA, RKA, ESA, CSA, etc.) plus "Astronaut" ("Cosmonaut" for RKA) for professionals; Payload Specialist, Tourist, etc. for other flyers.
native_name	Name in the person's native language. If more than one, separate using {{plainlist}}.
native_name_lang	ISO 639-1 two-letter code for person's native language (e.g. "fr" for French). If more than one, use {{lang}} in `\|native_name=` instead.
nationality	Nationality. Use only when necessary per WP:INFONAT, Do not use a flag template.
citizenship	Citizenship. Use only when necessary per WP:INFONAT.
status	Status of involvement with an astro/cosmonaut corps (e.g. Active, Retired, Dismissed); applies only to living persons. Remove upon death; do not put "dead" or circumstances of death.
birth_name	Name at birth, if different than name
birth_date	Date of birth. If the person is living, use {{Birth date and age}}, {{Birth-date and age}}, or {{Birth year and age}}. If deceased, use {{Birth date}} or {{Birth date text}}. Use plain text for partial dates. Example: {{Birth date and age\|1950\|8\|26}} if born August 26, 1950 Example: {{Birth date and age\|df=yes\|1950\|8\|26}} to display birth date as 26 August 1950
birth_place	Place of birth (town/city, state/province, country).
death_date	Date of death. If the date of birth is known, use {{Death date and age}}, {{Death-date and age}}, or {{Death year and age}}. Otherwise, use {{Death date}} or {{Death date text}}. Use plain text for partial dates. Example: {{Death date and age\|1993\|2\|24\|1950\|8\|26}} if died February 24, 1993 and born August 26, 1950 Example: {{Death date and age\|df=yes\|1993\|2\|24\|1941\|4\|12}} to display death date as 24 February 1993
death_place	Place of death (town/city, state/province, country).
resting_place	Location where person buried, ashes interred/scattered, etc.
resting_place_coords	Precise coordinates for place of burial, ash-scattering etc. Use {{coord}} template.

current_occupation	Current occupation if not still an astro/cosmonaut.
previous_occupation	Occupation before becoming an astro/cosmonaut.
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 (not addition to) `\|education=` and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools). For astro/cosmonauts, it is usually used when the degree earned is unknown.
rank	Military rank (if any).
space_time	Total time (to date) person has spent in space, in days, hours, minutes.
selection	Training group(s) the astronaut was selected for, including year. If the group does not have a standalone wiki page, link to [[List of astronauts by year of selection]]. Examples: NASA Group 17 (1998) 2009 CSA Group 2018 Cosmonaut Group TsPK-14 Cosmonaut Group (2006)
evas	Total number of EVAs.
eva_time	Total time of all EVAs when combined, in hours, minutes
missions or: mission	Completed or in-progress space mission or missions in which the person has taken or is taking part. Do not enter future missions: crew assignments can change prior to launch.
insignia	One or more images of completed or in-progress mission insignia for space missions in which the person has taken or is taking part. Do not enter future missions: crew assignments can change prior to launch.
retirement	Date when person retired from astro/cosmonaut activity.

module	Used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see below for more details).
child	For embedding this infobox into another (see below for more details).

Embedding other templates via module parameter

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

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

Use as an embedded template via child parameter

The child parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another. It can then be placed under the module paramter inside the other infobox

{{Infobox astronaut
| child              = yes
| type               = 
| current_occupation = 
| previous_occupation = 
| rank               = 
| space_time         =

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.
