Example

{{Birth date and age|1950|8|26}} if born August 26, 1950</br>{{Birth date and age|df=yes|1950|8|26}} to display birth date as 26 August 1950

Example

{{Death date and age|1993|2|24|1950|8|26}} if died February 24, 1993 and born August 26, 1950</br>{{Death date and age|df=yes|1993|2|24|1941|4|12}} to display death date as 24 February 1993

Precise coordinates for place of burial, ash-scattering etc. Use {{coord}} template.

Education, e.g., degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant. If very little information is available or relevant, the {{para|alma_mater}} parameter may be more appropriate.

''[[Alma mater]]''. This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) {{para|education}} and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools). For astronauts, it is usually used when the degree earned is unknown.

Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}}. Do not include the www. part unless the server requires it. Use camel case capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read.

Example

{{URL|example.com}}
