Use as a child template

The child, embed, and subbox parameters are used when embedding this infobox into another.

This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

{{Infobox person
| name = 
| image = 
| caption = 
| birth_date = 
| birth_place = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{EMBEDDED TEMPLATE NAME | child=yes <!-- or embed=yes or subbox=yes -->
  | parameter-1 = 
  | parameter-2 = 
  | parameter-3 = 
  | parameter-4 = 
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Embedding other templates

The module, module2, module3, module4, and module5 parameters are used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules and Category:Biographical templates usable as a module).

{{Infobox NASCAR driver
| name = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox ABC
  | embed = yes <!-- or child=yes / subbox=yes-->
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

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.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
bday
birthplace
category
country-name
deathdate
deathplace
extended-address
family-name
fn (required)
given-name
honorific-prefix
honorific-suffix
label
locality
n
nickname
note
org
role
url
vcard

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