File:Ambox important.svg

The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous.

File:Ambox warning yellow.svg This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox person}}. Any field from {{Infobox person}} can work. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as {{Infobox person}}. Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox person.

Parameters

Note: This template accepts all parameters that {{infobox person}} does. See here for a complete list. All custom parameters shown below are optional. Use |codename= and |codename2= for codenames,

Parameter	Description
`allegiance`	The country or other power the person served. Multiple countries may be indicated together with the corresponding dates. This field should not be used to indicate a particular service branch, which is better indicated by the `agency` field below.
`agency`	The service branch (KGB, MI5, etc.) the person was a part of; this should be left blank for people who were not part of a formal armed service, or who predate the establishment of formal service branches.
`serviceyears`	Years during which the person was active in aforementioned service. A simple year–year range is written using an en dash: `–` or `{{ndash}}`
`rank`	The highest rank achieved by the person—unless a reduction in rank occurred whether by punishment, voluntary, or as part of joining another military unit or military service. The rank being awarded posthumously, may be noted. In cases where the person held different ranks in different armies, multiple ranks should be specified with dates and country noted for each.
`operation`	Any notable operations in which the person participated. Italics may only be applied when "Operation" is omitted. Use a piped link if necessary.
`codename`	The codename by which the person was known to their handlers.
`codename2` / `codename3` / `codename4` / `codename5`	The codename by which the person was known to their handlers.
`codename2_label` / `codename3_label` / `codename4_label` / `codename5_label` /	This parameter can be used to create a custom codename label if necessary, e.g. when the person is a double agent. Use sparingly.
`other`	Profession or positions held by the person other than their spy or military service.

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.
