This infobox may be used to summarize information about an actor or actress, and is commonly used in articles about directors and other figures in the motion picture industry as well.

Usage

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article, typically at the top of an article above the lead section. All parameters are optional; any unused parameters should be left blank or omitted.

Parameters

Parameter Explanation
name Insert the name of the person. Use the common name – typically name of article – if multiple names exist. Defaults to {{PAGENAME}} if omitted or left blank.
image Insert image name. Use only the file name such as abc.jpg, xyz.png, 123.gif, etc. Do not use syntax such as [[Image:abc.jpg]] or [[Image:abc.jpg|200px]]
Please note that images of living people do not generally meet the criteria for non-free use on Wikipedia. See WP:NONFREE for a detailed rationale.
imagesize This parameter should only be used if it is necessary to overrule viewers' default thumb size preferences. Unfortunately, this template has nothing to do with viewers' preferences, and will override them, even if no value is given for this parameter. If the image's nominal width is smaller than 220 pixels (this can be found on the image's description page), you must specify that width or a smaller one.
alt Alt text for the image, for readers who can't see the image. See WP:ALT.
caption Insert a caption for the image. If known, try to include the location and date of photo.
birth_name Insert the person's name at birth if different from the name the person is commonly known by.
birth_date Insert the person's date of birth. Consider using {{Birth date and age}} for a living person, otherwise use {{Birth date}}.
birth_place Insert the person's place of birth. Use the format:

town/city, state (if relevant), country

Do not use flag icons in the infobox. See MOS:FLAG for a detailed rationale.
death_date Insert the person's date of death. Consider using {{Death date and age}}. Use of this field will also make the background color silver.
death_place Insert the person's place of death. Use the format:

town or city, state (if relevant), country

Do not use flag icons in the infobox. See MOS:FLAG for a detailed rationale.
other_names Insert any other name(s) that the person is or has been commonly known by. This should not include fictional character names.
occupation Insert the occupation(s) that the person is known for, e.g. actor, stunt performer, film director, etc. This may include other occupations within the entertainment industry, such as singer or model. Please ensure that the link points to the desired article, e.g. Model (person), not Model which is a disambiguation page.
years_active Insert the years that the person was active in his/her career. Use the format:

year of professional debut–year of final professional appearance

If still active, use "present" in place of the end year.
spouse Insert the names of the person's spouse(s). Use the format:

FirstName MaidenName (Year–Year)

If still married, use "present" in place of the end year. Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). Multiple marriages should be listed in chronological order, beginning with the earliest.
partner Insert the names of the person's long-term domestic partner(s), meaning a partner(s) in a committed romantic relationship where the couple live(d) together, whether legally recognized as domestic partners or not. Use the format:

FirstName Surname (Year–Year)

If still together, use "present" in place of the end year. Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). Multiple domestic partners should be listed in chronological order, beginning with the earliest.
website Insert the person's official website. Use only the plain URL such as http://www.example.org/. Do not use syntax such as [http://www.example.org/]. The infobox will automatically display the URL as a hyperlink, e.g. http://www.example.org/ will be displayed as Official website.
