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.

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.
