ParametersEdit

The list is long to cover most positions in Skule. Only use those parameters that convey essential or notable information about the subject. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed. If a data field has more than one parameter name which can be used, the preferred name is listed first in bold print.

caption
(caption)
Parameter Explanation
honorific_prefix To appear on the line above the person's name. This title generally categorizes the position, club, event, or project; e.g. "Affiliated Club," "Director," "Executive"
honorific_suffix To appear on the line below the person's name
name Common name of person (defaults to article name if left blank).
education Education.
term Years the person held the title listed above.
predecessor Person who previously held the title listed above.
successor Person who subsequently held the title listed above.
image Image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc. If an image is desired but not available, one may add "yes" to the "needs-photo" section of the Template:WPBiography on the talkpage. Do not add File:Replace this image male.svg, File:Replace this image female.svg or other placeholder images.
image_size
(imagesize)
Size to display image: 200px (set width), x300px (set height), or 200x300px (max width & max height). This defaults to frameless (default is 220px, but logged in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size) if empty or omitted. This parameter should not normally need to be set.
This is defaulted to say "incumbent:" but may be changed as needed. Falls under the image, and lists (in a break separated series): name, education, term.
email Official email(s) of the position only.
website Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}} as {{URL|www.example.com}}.
other_names Other notable or commonly used names for the position, such as abbreviated names.
years_active Date range in years during which the subject was active. Use the format 1950–2000, or 1970–present if still active; note the use of an en dash.
employer Employer or position overseeing this position.
organization Organization that this position belongs to.
known_for
(known)
A brief description of why the person is notable.
notable_works Title(s) of notable work(s) (publications, compositions, sculptures, films, etc.) by the subject, if any.
boards For board of directors membership(s), if relevant. Field labeled Board member of.
awards Notable awards. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead. See also "title" parameter, above, for awarded titles. A single award should not use both parameters.
footnotes Notes about any of the infobox data.
box_width The infobox width, such as: box_width=220px (default: 22em). A space character between the number and the unit of measurement breaks the parameter. This parameter should not normally need to be set.
