Template:Template doc page viewed directly Infobox Person may be used to summarize information about a person.

Also consider using one of the more specific templates such as {{Infobox actor}}, {{Infobox Officeholder}}, {{Infobox Military Person}}, etc. A list of some of these is available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Infoboxes; others not listed there can be found in Category:People infobox templates.

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.
