Parameters[edit]

All attributes are optional.

Parameter	Explanation
`child`
`pre-nominals`	To appear on the line above the person's name. This is for things like `\|pre-nominals=Sir` – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods and titles of nobility; do not use it for routine things like "Dr." or "Ms."
`name`	Common name of the person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide `\|birth_name=` (below) if different from `\|name=`). If middle initials are specified (or implied) by the lead of the article, and are not specified separately in the `\|birth_name=` parameter, include them here. Do not put honorifics or alternative names in this parameter. There are separate parameters for these things, covered below.
`post-nominals`	To appear on the line below the person's name. This is for things like `\|post-nominals=[[Officer of the Order of the British Empire\|OBE]]` – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "BA". It is permissible but not required to use the `{{post-nominals}}` template inside this parameter; doing so requires `{{post-nominals\|size=100\|...}}`.
`abovestyle`
`image`	Image name. Use just the image name without the `File:` or `Image:` prefix: `abc.jpg`, `xpz.png`, `123.gif`, etc. If an image is desired but not available, one may add `yes` to the `\|needs-photo=` parameter of the `{{WikiProject Biography}}` on the talk page. If no image is available yet, do not use an image placeholder.
`image_size`	Size to display image: `200px` (set width), `x300px` (set height), or `200x300px` (max width & max height). If empty or omitted, this defaults to `frameless` (default is `220px`, but logged in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size). This parameter should not normally need to be set.
`alt`	Alt text for image, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT.
`caption`	Caption for image, if needed. Try to include date of photo and name of the photographer.
`pseudonym`	Any of the comedian's aliases or pen names.
`birth_name`	Name at birth; only use if different from the value in `\|name=`.
`native_name`	Name in local language. If more than one, separate using `{{Plain list}}` or `{{Unbulleted list}}`
`native_name_lang`	ISO 639-2 language 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. Use the name of the birth place at the time of birth, e.g.: Saigon (prior to 1976), Ho Chi Minh City (post 1976). Do not use a flag template.
`death_date`	Date of death: {{death date and age}} (if birth date is known) or `{{death date}}` (if birth date unknown). See Template:Death date/doc for details on usage. If exact dates are unknown, consider using `{{death year and age}}`.
`death_place`	Place of death: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Note: Do not use a flag template. Use the name of the death place at the time of death, e.g.: `Saigon` (prior to 1976) or `Ho Chi Minh City` (post 1976)
`resting_place`	Location of grave, ashes, etc.
`resting_place_coordinates`	Precise coordinates of grave, etc.
`medium`	A list of medium(s) in which the comedian has performed. Examples include: television, stand-up, film, etc.
`nationality`	Nationality. Use only when necessary per WP:INFONAT. Do not use a flag template.
`education`
`alma_mater`
`years_active`	Date range in years during which the comedian was active in their mediums, and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format `1950–2000`, or `1970–present` if the comedian is still active (note the use of an en dash, not hyphen). If no dates of birth and/or death are known for the comedian, only a floruit date range, this parameter can be used for it. If approximate (circa) dates are known for either or both, put them in the `\|birth_date=` and `\|death_date=` parameters.
`employer`
`genre`	The comedian's general comedic genre. For instance, Jon Stewart would be political satire; George Carlin would be black humor.
`subject`	The most frequent topics of the comedian's comedy. Examples: Dave Chappelle could be `racism and race relations`. Stephen Colbert could be `American politics; the Christian Right`. Cheech Marin could be `race; drugs`. Wikilink terms to articles as appropriate.
`spouse`
`domestic_partner`
`children`
`parents`
`relatives`
`notable_works`
`memorials`	Statues, plaques, things named after the comedian
`signature`	An image of the comedian's signature. Use just the image name without the `File:` or `Image:` prefix: `abc.jpg`, `xpz.png`, `123.gif`, etc.
`current_members`	For comedy troupes and double acts, list all current members. If the troupe/duo has broken up, name all people who were members at the time of the breakup.
`past_members`	For comedy troupes and double acts, list all members who have, for whatever reason, left. If the troupe/duo has broken up, name all people who left before the time of the breakup.
`website`	The comedian's official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under `==External links==` in the body of the article. Use `{{URL}}` as in `{{URL\|Example.com}}`. Do not include the `www.` part unless the server requires it. Use camel case capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read.
`footnotes`	Notes about any of the infobox data.
`module`	Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one.

Use as a child template[edit]

The child or 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[edit]

The module or misc parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox.

{{Infobox comedian
| name = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module =
  {{Infobox ABC
  | embed = yes <!-- or child=yes / subbox=yes -->
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Microformat[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

hCard uses HTML classes including:

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