Infobox officeholder | |
|---|---|
 | The design and content of biographical infoboxes must comply with Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as the infobox and biographical style guidelines. All content displayed by this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy when applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed, especially if it is potentially libelous. |
 | This template is used on approximately 283,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | Please note that in June 2017, the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|religion= parameter was removed from Infobox officeholder as a result of this discussion. |
{{Infobox officeholder}} is incorporated into the templates listed here. You are welcome to use the appropriate redirect when placing this template on a page, but it will not change in any way the displayed Infobox.
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
Paste the code for the relevant office and then add the 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 this page. For advice on alt text, see Wikipedia:Alternative text for images.
The parameter <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|order= is used in conjunction with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|office= to state that the officeholder is the nth holder of the office, for example "42nd President of the United States". This should only be used when there is a well-established use of such numbering in reliable sources. Do not add numbers simply based on a Wikipedia list of holders of the office, because (1) the list may not be accurate and (2) even with a definite list, different numbering systems could be applied (as to how various categories of "irregular" officeholders should be counted, and as to the counting of those serving for multiple non-consecutive periods) making the numbers arbitrary; and even where such issues are not yet present, they are bound to be in the future, making this unsustainable. Per WP:SEAOFBLUE, it is not recommended to wikilink <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|order= to a list of officeholders, even if such a list exists.
If <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|order= is not specified, the value of <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|office= can be wikilinked in the usual way, for example, "[[Ministry of Defence (Singapore)|Minister for Defence]]". However, if <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|order= is specified together with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|office=, the value of <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|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 piped link can be created like this: "Ministry of Defence (Singapore){{!}}Minister for Defence" (note that the double square brackets have been omitted).
When both a start and an end term are given, you can instead specify the complete term using the parameters <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|term=, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|term2=, 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).
Where a politician was redistricted into a new district, you can use <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|prior_term= to indicate which district(s) they were 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.
Per consensus in this RfC, the infobox for an incumbent officeholder should not mention an elected or designated successor, or the end date of the term, until the successor takes office.

Embedding within a different infobox
Many officeholders are known for more than just their appointments (e.g., Clint Eastwood), and hence it may be desirable to merge this infobox with another one, like {{Infobox person}}. By adding <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|embed=yes to the first line of the infobox code, one can embed this infobox into another, creating the illusion of one continuous infobox. Though the process is a little complicated, it is possible to insert this infobox into most if not all other infoboxes. For {{Infobox person}}, this infobox is passed as a "module" using the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|module= syntax.

Microformat
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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia, 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 Template:URL, specifying the url as the value of unnamed param 1; example:
{{URL|1=https://www.somedomain.com/foo/bar?q=weird_stuff&xyz=more_stuff}}.
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.
