قالب:Infobox writer

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Infobox writer may be used to summarize information about a person who is a writer/author (includes screenwriters).

If the writer-specific fields here are not needed, consider using the more general {{Infobox person}}; other infoboxes there can be found in Category:People and person infobox templates.

This template may also be used as a module (or sub-template) of {{Infobox person}}; see WikiProject Infoboxes/embed for guidance on such usage.

Parameters

Please remove any parameters from an article's infobox that are unlikely to be used.

All parameters are optional.

Parameter Explanation
name Insert name of the person. Use the common name, typically name of article. If omitted it defaults to the name of the article; if present but blank, the header is omitted. Note: Do not add icons or other images.
embed Set to 'yes' if embedded in another infobox template.
honorific_prefix Honorifics that go before the name, e.g. "Lady", "Sir"
honorific_suffix Honorifics that go after the name, e.g. "MBE"
image Insert image name. Use only the file name such as abc.jpg, xyz.png, 123.gif, etc. Do not use syntax such as [[File:abc.jpg]] or [[File:abc.jpg|200px]]

Only free-content images are allowed for depicting living people. Non-free and "fair use" images, e.g., promo photos, CD/DVD covers, posters, screen captures, etc., will be deleted. See WP:NONFREE.

image_upright Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).
image_size Size to display image: 200px (set width), or 200x300px (max width & max height). This defaults to 200px if empty or omitted.
alt The [alt attribute]] for the image, for readers who cannot see the image. See WP:ALT.
caption Caption for the image. Try to include the date the image was created.
native_name Name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{Plainlist}}
native_name_lang A language tag, e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} inside native_name instead

nickname Nickname(s) other than pen names.
birth_name Insert person's name at birth (or christening if name at birth is unavailable).
birth_date Insert the person's birth date if known as: month day, year or day month year as appropriate.

For a living person consider using:

{{Birth date and age|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}

In either case, add |df=yes to show date as day before month; otherwise format is month before day.

birth_place Insert the person's place of birth if known as: town, city, state, country. Note: Do not add flag icons to the birthplace. See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (flags).

If the person is still living, leave this parameter blank.

Insert the persons date of death if known as: month day, year or day month year as appropriate.

When the full birth date and death date are known, use the following:

{{Death date and age|yr died|mo died|da died|yr born|mo born|da born}}

Add |df=yes to show date as day before month; otherwise format is month before day.

<!-- Please do not add notable works to this article. See talk page as mutual consensus could not be achieved on this article. -->

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.

If the person has more than one official website, only the most prominent should be listed in the infobox. All other websites should be listed in the article under ==External links==.
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.
portaldisp This is an optional parameter to display the literature portal link at the bottom of the infobox. Leaving this parameter blank will cause the literature portal link not to display. Setting this parameter to yes or y (case is insensitive) will display the literature portal link.
Literature portal

If there is a dispute between editors over whether this parameter should be used in the article, it should be brought up on the article's talk page. If no consensus can be developed for a particular person, the portaldisp parameter should be marked with:

<!-- Please do not use this parameter in this article. See talk page as mutual consensus could not be achieved on this article. -->

Use as a child template

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.

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.

  • adr
  • agent
