Paste the code for the relevant office and then add the [[#Personal data|personal data]] to the bottom. There are no required fields and some fields will not appear when others are in use. For instructions on how to implement multiple terms, see [[Template:Infobox officeholder/example#Multiple terms|this page]]. For advice on alt text, see ''[[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images]]''.
 
  
The parameter {{para|order}} is used in conjunction with {{para|office}} to state that the officeholder is the ''n''th holder of the office, for example "2nd President of Mauritius". If {{para|order}} is not specified, the value of {{para|office}} can be [[Help:Link#Wikilinks|wikilinked]] in the usual way, for example, "<code><nowiki>[[Ministry of Defence (Singapore)|Minister for Defence]]</nowiki></code>". However, if {{para|order}} is specified together with {{para|office}}, the value of {{para|office}} is automatically linked to a Wikipedia article of the same name, whether such an article exists or not. Wikilinking cannot be used to redirect the link elsewhere, but a [[Wikipedia:Piped link|piped link]] can be created like this: "<code><nowiki>Ministry of Defence (Singapore){{!}}Minister for Defence</nowiki></code>" (note that the double square brackets have been omitted).

Butti Bin Bishr, Shaikh Zayed's personal secretary, recalls what life was like when a driver was considered an extremely important person
 +
He remembers a time when a man who knew how to drive a car was given pride of place in Dubai. Bedouins would prepare a feast for him each time he came visiting.
 +
 
 +
He also remembers an era when the road from Dubai to Abu Dhabi would see a mere ten cars daily, mostly belonging to royalty.
 +
 
 +
This bygone age is dear to 69-year-old Butti Bin Bishr, because it was during those days, 40 years ago, that he became close to the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Bin Bishr's personality reflected his transparency in talking about life in the past. It also reflected his lucid memory, which has helped him remember events by their exact dates and people by their names.
 +
 
 +
Bin Bishr shared with Weekend Review some of the important moments which he has lived and witnessed, including the formation of the federation.
 +
 
 +
Rare pictures of him accompanying Shaikh Zayed in hunting and recreational trips are seen in his office, besides old pictures of Dubai as a city.
 +
 
 +
Besides being known for accompanying Shaikh Zayed as his personal secretary, Bin Bishr is a well-known figure among the national community for his philanthropic work and support of youth.
 +
 
 +
He was also close to Shaikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum.
 +
 
 +
Shaikh Zayed's secretary
 +
 
 +
"My father was a friend of Shaikh Zayed in the Fifties and we used to exchange visits with Al Nahyan family members frequently," said Bin Bishr on how he came to know Shaikh Zayed.
 +
 
 +
"I was a friend of Shaikh Saeed Bin Shakbout, Shaikh Zayed's uncle. He used to call me when he used to head to Al Ain for recreation. I used to go to him in Abu Dhabi in my car and then we used to head to Al Ain or sometimes I used to meet him in Al Ain directly from Dubai.
 +
 
 +
"The reason was that at that time, the number of cars in Abu Dhabi did not exceed ten, which were owned by royalty. At that time, a Land Rover used to be used as a taxi," he said.
 +
 
 +
He recalled how a driver at that time was considered an extremely important person and the Bedouins used to prepare feasts for him if he visited them.
 +
 
 +
"At that time, I was also friends with Majid Al Ghurair, who was thinking of opening Oman Bank (Mashreq Bank now) in the Sixties. He chose Abdullah Bin Hareb, Ahmad Bel Hasa and me to be with him in that. He then wanted to open the bank's branch in Abu Dhabi but Shaikh Shakbout refused. I suggested that Al Ghurair open the branch in Al Ain. Shaikh Zayed was the ruler of Al Ain then. A group of us went to see him [Shaikh Zayed]. I told him the bank's story and that we wanted to open the branch in Al Ain. He welcomed the idea but said I had to be the branch manager. This was in 1965," he said.
 +
 
 +
Bin Bishr said Shaikh Zayed then inaugurated the branch. In 1966, Shaikh Zayed went on to become the ruler of Abu Dhabi. "On December 25 of the same year, we had New Year holidays. As we were heading to Al Ain to spend the holidays, we spotted military cars near an oasis, so we knew that Shaikh Zayed was in the area. We went to greet him. At that time, he asked me: ‘Where is your bag?' I said it was in my car. He ordered one of his guards to take my bag from my car and put it in his. It was then that he chose me to be his personal secretary."
 +
 
 +
Bin Bishr said Shaikh Zayed used to consult him and ask for his opinion or how well he knew a certain person.
 +
 
 +
"I even held the position of the undersecretary at the Public Works Ministry and supervised most of the construction projects in the eastern region," he said.
 +
 
 +
About the personality and nature of Shaikh Zayed, Bin Bishr said: "Shaikh Zayed used to encourage people to be educated despite the hardships and the lack of materials. He was a loveable person and had good relationships with everyone. He was very down-to-earth."
 +
 
 +
Bin Bishr said he would sit with Shaikh Zayed on Abu Dhabi Corniche, which was the first corniche at the time. "It used to be a very casual seating, where people would just pass by, greet Shaikh Zayed and talk to him without any formalities," he said.
 +
 
 +
Bin Bishr said Shaikh Zayed used to even encourage people to trade and open up shops and groceries.
  
When both a start and an end term are given, you can instead specify the complete term using the parameters {{para|term}}, {{para|terms2}}, etc. This can be helpful for complicated terms that cannot be given as simple starting or ending dates, or if you prefer something other than the default term separator (an en dash, with spaces around it if the start or end is not a simple integer date).
+
"Once he caught a man and encouraged him to open a grocery, although at that time, it was not acceptable for us to open groceries, because Bedouins usually would not."
  
Where a politician was redistricted into a new district, you can use {{para|prior_term}} to indicate which district(s) he was in before. This saves space in the infobox by not generating a completely new office each time redistricting happens. If you do this, it is recommended that you list the person who preceded the subject when the subject first took office and the person who succeeded the subject when the subject last left office. Where the use of "same district number" is used for determining "predecessor" and "successor" in any office, but where the area is so altered as to make such a "predecessor" or "successor" of little or no biographical value, the word "redistricted" should be used rather than using names of officeholders whose connection is accidental by virtue of district number, but unrelated to any election contests between officeholders.
 
  
Please do not re-purpose any fields to add decorative images, icons or flags. Template:Infobox viceroy styles or the like can be used for this. [[WP:INFOBOXFLAG]] applies here.
