Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 20:52, 7 October 2024

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox royalty. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 23,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Misplaced Pages'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.

This template adds an automatically generated short description (only if either |title= or |succession= has a value). If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.

This template uses Lua: Module:Infobox (sandbox) Module:InfoboxImage (sandbox) Module:Check for unknown parameters (sandbox)

This template may be used for anyone having royal connections. This template is only for historic biographies and must not be used for mythical / legendary characters or creatures. You can use other templates for them, such as {{Infobox character}}.

Parameters

All parameters are optional (even "name" can be taken from PAGENAME).

Use as a child template

The embed parameter is 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 Misplaced Pages:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

{{Infobox person
| name = 
| image = 
| caption = 
| birth_date = 
| birth_place = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox royalty | embed=yes
  | parameter-1 = 
  | parameter-2 = 
  | parameter-3 = 
  | parameter-4 = 
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Embedding other templates

The module parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Misplaced Pages:Infobox modules).

{{Infobox royalty
| name = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox military person | embed=yes
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Notes

Peer wikilinks

The wikilinks of substantive peers (or those in another kind of numbered succession) should always show that number (eg Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall rather than Richard, Earl of Cornwall), unless other conventions say otherwise (such as that one should always see Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, never Prince Edward, 2nd Duke of Kent). Generally, use the article's title, omitting surplus fore- and surnames or disambiguation.

Microformats

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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages, 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.
