This template accepts all parameters that Template:Infobox person does. See here for a complete list.

name

Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide birth_name (below) if different from name).

image

Image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc.

image_size

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 Wikipedia:Alternative text for images.

caption

Caption for image, if needed. Try to include date of photo. Do not simply put the name of the subject

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}}. For living people supply only the year unless the exact date is already WIDELY published, as per WP:DOB. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use {{birth year and age}} or a similar option.

birth_place

Place of birth: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Note: 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.

death_cause

Cause of death, if known and relevant, e.g., "Accidental radiation overdose".

nationality

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 and when nationality cannot be inferred from place of birth per WP:INFONAT. Do not use a flag template.

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 use a flag template.

education

List highest degree granting institution and graduation year, if known.

occupation

Occupation(s) as given in the lead. Please observe sentence case and capitalize only the first letter of the first item (e.g. Musician, actor, singer-songwriter). Do not use this parameter if using the "profession" parameter below

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).

known_for

A brief description of why the person is notable; this parameter is entirely optional; do not use this parameter if using "specialism" below

relations

Names of notable relatives who also have Wikipedia articles; place names within double brackets. Include the relationship in parentheses after the name (sister, uncle, etc). Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.

website

Subject's official website only, if any. 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.

signature

An image of the person's signature. Please use image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc.

profession

State if they are/were a doctor, surgeon, nurse, etc.

field

State if they are/were a heart surgeon, physician, etc.

work_institutions

Insert key institutions, universities, and/or companies where they are/were employed

specialism

For example "organ transplants"

research_field

Insert research field, if a published medical researcher

notable_works

Insert most notable works, if any, by title and year of publication; do not list all published works

prizes

Insert notable prizes, medals, and awards relevant to the medical profession, if any; place name of award in double brackets and give year and category of award

module, module2

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.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
