Parameters change

Parameter Explanation
name The article name, without qualifiers, i.e. John Doe, not John Doe (wrestler).
image Image defaults to 220px width.
image_size Size to display image (e.g. 200px (for width), x300px (for height), or 200x300px). This parameter should not normally need to be set.
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%).
alt Alternative text for image. See WP:ALT for more details.
caption Image caption. Try to include date/year of the photo.
birth_name Birth name, if different from name.
birth_date Date of birth. If living, use {{Birth date and age}}, otherwise use {{Birth 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.
death_date Date of death. If date of birth is known, use {{Death date and age}}, otherwise use {{Death date}}.
death_place Place of death.
death_cause Cause of death. Should be clearly defined and sourced.

spouse Name(s) of spouse(s) and years of marriage. Use {{Marriage}}.
partner Name(s) of notable unmarried partners and years of relationship.
children Number of children (e.g. 3), or list names if independently notable. Use {{Plainlist}} for multiple entries.

relatives Names of siblings or other relatives; include only if independently notable or particularly relevant. Include the relationship in parentheses after the name (sister, uncle, etc.). Use {{Plainlist}} for multiple entries.
family Link to family article, if applicable. See list of family relations in professional wrestling.

retired Date or year of permanent retirement.
signature An image of the person's signature. Please use image name without the File: or Image: prefix.
signature_size Default is 150px. If necessary, a signature can be resized manually as per the |image_size= parameter.

Use as a child template change

The child parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another.

For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

Microformat change

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 change

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:

  • adr
  • agent
  • bday
  • birthplace
  • category
