 | This template is used on approximately 35,000 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 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 a customized wrapper for {{Infobox person}}. Any field from {{Infobox person}} can work. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as {{Infobox person}}. Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox person. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
{{Infobox artist}} may be used in an article about a person who is an artist.

| {{{name}}} | |

| image * | A picture of or including the person. Use file name only, without the brackets and File: or Image: prefix (abc.jpg, xyz.png, etc.) | ||||||
| image_size * | 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. | ||||||
| alt * | Alternative text for image, for visually impaired readers (see WP:ALT) | ||||||
| caption * | Caption to accompany image. If a (portrait) photograph of the person, try to include date of photo and photographer's name. | ||||||
| native_name | Name in the person's native language. If more than one, separate using {{plainlist}}. | ||||||
| native_name_lang | ISO 639-1 two-letter code for person's native language (e.g. "fr" for French). If more than one, use {{lang}} in <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|native_name= instead. | ||||||
| birth_name | Name at birth, if different from name | ||||||
| birth_date | Date of birth. If the person is living, use {{Birth date and age}}, {{Birth-date and age}}, or {{Birth year and age}}. If deceased, use {{Birth date}} or {{Birth date text}}. Use plain text for partial dates. Example: {{Birth date and age|1950|8|26}} if born August 26, 1950 Example: {{Birth date and age|df=yes|1950|8|26}} to display birth date as 26 August 1950 | ||||||
| birth_place | Place of birth (town/city, state/province, country) | ||||||
| death_date | Date of death. If the date of birth is known, use {{Death date and age}}, {{Death-date and age}}, or {{Death year and age}}. Otherwise, use {{Death date}} or {{Death date text}}. Use plain text for partial dates. Example: {{Death date and age|1993|2|24|1950|8|26}} if died February 24, 1993 and born August 26, 1950 Example: {{Death date and age|df=yes|1993|2|24|1941|4|12}} to display death date as 24 February 1993 | ||||||
| death_place | Place of death (town/city, state/province, country) | ||||||

| spouse | Name of spouse, if notable | ||||||
| partner | Name of unmarried domestic partner, if notable | ||||||

| signature | An image of the person's signature. Please use image name:
| ||||||
| signature_type | Changes the Signature label to the preferred argument, such as Seal | ||||||
| signature_size | Default is 150px. If necessary, a signature can be resized manually as per the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|image_size= parameter. | ||||||
| signature_alt | Alt text for the signature image. For example, for File:Thomas Jefferson Signature.svg, the alt text might be <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|signature_alt= Th: Jefferson, spelling out the signature | ||||||
| elected | Bodies to which the artist has been elected member | ||||||
| patrons | Patrons of the artist | ||||||
| memorials | Monuments, plaques, entities named after the subject, etc. | ||||||
| website | Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}} as in {{URL|Example.com}}. Do not include the www. part unless the server requires it. Use camel case capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read. | ||||||

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.

- adr
- agent
- bday
- birthplace
