Parameters

Do not use all these parameters for any one person. The list is long to cover a wide range of people. Only use those parameters that convey essential or notable information about the subject, and ensure that that information is sourced in the article or (if present only in the infobox) in the infobox itself. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed. If a data field has more than one parameter name which can be used, the preferred name is listed first in bold print.

Parameter	Explanation
honorific_prefix	To appear on the line above the person's name
name	Common name of 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 field, include them here.
honorific_suffix	To appear on the line below the person's name
image	Image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc. If an image is desired but not available, one may add "yes" to the "needs-photo" section of the Template:WPBiography on the talkpage. If no image is available yet, do not use an image placeholder.
image_size (imagesize)	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 WP:ALT.
caption	Caption for image, if needed. Try to include date of photo and the photographer.
native_name	The person's name in their own language, if different.
native_name_lang	ISO 639-1 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} in `\|native_name=` instead.
birth_name	Name at birth; only use if different from name.
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 birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: Saigon (prior to 1976), Ho Chi Minh City (post 1976). Do not use a flag template.
baptised	Date of baptism: Only for use when birth date is not known (e.g. for Beethoven). Will not display if a birth date is entered. Do not use subtemplates.
disappeared_date	(For missing people) Date of disappearance: {{disappeared date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{disappeared date}} (if birth date unknown).
disappeared_place	(For missing people) Place of disappearance: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Do not use a flag template.
disappeared_status	(For missing people) Current status for the person, e.g. if the person is still regarded as missing (using {{missing for}} to calculate the time since disappearance), or if the person has been declared dead in absentia, with a date for such a ruling.
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 deathplace at the time of death, e.g.: Saigon (prior to 1976), Ho Chi Minh City (post 1976)
death_cause	Cause of death.
body_discovered	Place where the body was discovered (if different from place of death). Do not use a flag template.
resting_place	Place of burial, ash-scattering, etc. Do not use a flag template.
resting_place_coordinates	Coordinates for place of burial, ash-scattering etc. Use {{coord}} template.
monuments	Significant monuments erected, buildings named, etc., in honour of the subject. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead.
residence	Location(s) where the person notably resides/resided, if different from birth place. Do not use a flag template.
nationality	May be used instead of citizenship (below) or vice versa in cases where any confusion could result. Should only be used with citizenship when they somehow differ. Do not link if a commonly known nationality. Do not use a flag template.
other_names	Other notable names for the person, if different from name and birth_name.
ethnicity	Ethnicity, if relevant. Please be sure to support with a citation from a reliable source, in the article body.
citizenship	Country of legal citizenship, if different from nationality. Rarely needed. See usage notes for nationality above. Should only be used if citizenship cannot be inferred from the birthplace; note that many countries do not automatically grant citizenship to people born within their borders. Do not link if a commonly known country. Do not use a flag template.
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 `\|education=`, and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended higher education institution. It is usually not relevant to included either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise, as at Bill Gates.
occupation	Occupation(s) as given in the lead. Please observe sentence case and capitalise only the first letter of the first item (e.g. Musician, actor, singer-songwriter).
years_active	Date range in years during which the subject was active in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format `1950–2000`, or `1970–present` if still active (note the use of an en dash, not hyphen). If no dates of birth and/or death are known for the subject, only a floruit date range, as is common with ancient subjects, 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.
era	Era in which the person lived and worked; less specific than `\|years_active=`. e.g. "Medieval"
employer	Employer(s), if relevant.
organization	Non-employing organization(s), if relevant.
agent	The subject's agent (individual and/or agency), if relevant.
known_for</br> (known)	A brief description of why the person is notable.
notable_works	Title(s) of notable work(s) (publications, compositions, sculptures, films, etc.) by the subject, if any.
style	The style in which the subject works, if applicable.
influences	No longer supported.
influenced	No longer supported.
home_town	The place where the person was raised and matured, if different from birth place and residence.
salary	Annual salary or compensation, if relevant.
net_worth	Current estimated net worth, if relevant. Please be sure to support with a citation from a reliable source, in the article body.
height	If person was notable for their height, or if height is relevant. If used, this should also include the year of the measurement if the person had not reached full adulthood when this stat was published. See documentation of this parameter at Template:Infobox sportsperson for more information.
weight	If person was notable for their weight, or if weight is relevant. If used, this should also include the year of the measurement. See documentation of this parameter at Template:Infobox sportsperson for more information.
television	Television programmes presented by or closely associated with the subject.
title	Multiple uses: Formal title, such as First Lady of Japan for Akie Abe. Awarded title, such as Mr. Olympia for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Job title, such as President of Calvin College for Anthony Diekema. A combination of the above, such as Professor of Mathematics and Fellow of the Royal Society for Bill Parry See also "awards" parameter, below, for awarded honors that are not really titles. A single award should not use both parameters.
term	Years the person held the title listed above.
predecessor	Person who previously held the title listed above.
successor	Person who subsequently held the title listed above.
party	If relevant. Field labelled Political party.
movement	If relevant. Movement can be social, political (non-party), artistic, philosophical, literary, cultural, etc.
opponents	Notable relevant opponents (e.g. for major political office).
boards	For board of directors membership(s), if relevant. Field labeled Board member of.
religion	Include only if relevant. For living persons please refer to WP:BLPCAT. Be sure to support with a citation from a reliable source, in the article body.
denomination	Denomination of religion, if relevant. Please be sure to support with a citation from a reliable source, in the article body.
criminal_charge criminal_penalty criminal_status	For convicted criminals only. Please be certain to support these parameters with citations from reliable sources, in the article body.
spouse(s)	Name of spouse(s), followed by years of marriage. Use the format Name (married 1950–present) for a current spouse, and Name (married 1970–1999) for former spouse(s). Separate entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. For deceased persons still married at time of death, close the date range with death year.
partner(s)	If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; "partner" here means unmarried life partners (of any gender or sexual preference), not business partner. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current partner and Name (1970–1999) for former partner(s).
children	Only if independently notable themselves or particularly relevant. Number of children (e.g. three or 3), or list of names if notable, in which case, separate entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of children of living persons, unless notable.
parents	Names of parents; include only if they are independently notable or particularly relevant. Separate entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
relatives (relations)	Names of siblings or other relatives; include only if independently notable or particularly relevant. Include the relationship in parentheses after the name (sister, uncle, etc). Separate entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
callsign	Amateur radio call sign, if relevant.
awards	Notable awards. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead. See also "title" parameter, above, for awarded titles. A single award should not use both parameters.
module module2 module3 module4 module5 module6	Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one.
signature	An image of the person's signature. Please use image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc.
signature_alt	Alt text for the signature image. For example, for File:Thomas Jefferson Signature.svg, the alt text might be `\|signature_alt= Th: Jefferson`, spelling out the signature exactly as it appears in the image.
signature_size	Default is 150px. If necessary, a signature can be resized manually as per the "image_size" parameter.
website	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.
