| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox classical composer. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| 30px | This template uses Lua: |
This infobox is for classical composers. Note that most of the fields are optional and that they should only be used as necessary. This box was created as a result of extended debate in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers/Infoboxes RfC; most of the participants there felt strongly that infoboxes should generally be avoided in articles on classical composers and requested that each proposed inclusion should be assessed on a case-by-case basis on that article's talkpage. See also the Composer project guidelines. Please note that only free-content images are allowed for depicting living people - see WP:NONFREE.

Longer examples
Examples with more of the fields used, some of which are disputable/inapplicable in any given article.
Use with caution and consensus.
The additional fields here, are: |honorific_prefix=, |honorific_suffix=, |baptised=, |flourished=, |notable_family=, and |occupations=.

Fields that are specifically excluded
Note - the Composers project RfC on infoboxes concluded that this box should remain minimal; the following fields were felt to be ambiguous or otherwise unhelpful:
- Instruments – because most composers play a few instruments. Any prominent instances can be added to the "Other occupations" field (e.g. [[Organist]], [[Cello|Cellist]], [[Horn (instrument)|Horn player]]).
- Nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation – too troublesome. Different sources will often give different details or emphasis.
- Teachers, Students, Collaborators, Employers – too indefinite. Could hypothetically include anything from week-long to lifetime-long relationships.
- Main cities of residence – too indefinite.
- Styles/schools – e.g. Verismo, Futurism, etc. Too ambiguous, and often only apply to single works, instead of whole careers.
- Genres – e.g. Symphonic, Chamber music, Opera, etc. Too ambiguous, and often only apply to single works, instead of whole careers.
- Labels – because even authors do not have their publishers listed in their infoboxes (only the books themselves do). Seems non-essential for an infobox.
- Associated_acts – generally inapplicable, except to contemporary composers. Also, the word "acts" is too ambiguous.
- Alias – generally inapplicable. Even articles on jazz royalty do not normally use nicknames in their infoboxes unless the nickname is used almost exclusively in preference to the given name.
- URL – Very few classical composers who ceased working before the 1990s have a website that qualifies as an official website. For those that do, use {{Infobox person}} or {{Infobox musical artist}}.

Tracking categories
- Category:Pages using deprecated image syntax (1) – Used by Module:InfoboxImage to track articles where an infobox uses image syntax in the format |image=[[File:Example.jpg]]. To exclude articles from this category, change it to |image=Example.jpg.
- Category:No local image but image on Wikidata (15) – Used by Template:Wikidata image to track articles where an infobox has no image but Wikidata has an image name. To exclude articles from this category, add an image or
|nocat_wdimage=yesto the infobox.
