Parameters

Parameter	Description
honorific_prefix	To appear on the line above the person's name
name	The short or common name of the subject. If this parameter is omitted, the name of the article is used.
honorific_suffix	To appear on the line below the person's name
image	An image of the subject. Type the name of the image file without adding File: before it or wikilinking it. If no image is available yet, do not use an image placeholder.
image_size	The image size. Use only when absolutely necessary. Examples: 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.
alt	Alternative text for image, for visually impaired readers (see WP:ALT)
caption	A caption for the image displayed. Include date of photograph and photographer's name, if known.
headercolor	To change the default color of the background of headers, indicate a color name (e.g., lightblue or orange) or a hex triplet (e.g., #2468A0). To determine the hex triplet of a color, see List of colors; or go to List of colors#Colors by shade, click on the article associated with the desired color, and look up the hex triplet.
textcolor	To change the default color of the text of headers, indicate a color name (e.g., lightblue or orange) or a hex triplet (e.g., #2468A0). To determine the hex triplet of a color, see List of colors; or go to List of colors#Colors by shade, click on the article associated with the desired color, and look up the hex triplet.
Personal information
native_name	The person's name in their native language, if different than name.
native_name_lang	ISO 639-2 code, e.g., "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} in |native_name= instead.
birth_name	The birth name of the subject, if different than name.
fullname	The full name of the subject, if different than name.
nickname	The subject's common nickname(s). If there is more than one, list the names alphabetically and separate them with commas.
nationality	The subject's nationality. May be used instead of citizenship (below) or vice versa in cases where any confusion could result. Should only be used with citizenship when they somehow differ. Should only be used if nationality cannot be inferred from the birthplace. Do not use a flag template. This parameter is not displayed when the national_team parameter is defined.
national_team	The national team for which the subject competes in international events. This parameter is used for those who have represented their country as a member of a national team in international competition such as the Olympic Games, World Championships for the sport, Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games, etc.
ethnicity	Ethnic background. Rarely useful, and must be supported with a citation from a reliable source. Do not use a flag template.
citizenship	Country of legal citizenship, if different from nationality. Rarely needed. See usage notes for nationality above. Should only be used if citizenship cannot be inferred from the birthplace. Do not use a flag template.
birth_date	The subject's birth date. 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}}. 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	The subject's place of birth. Do not use a flag template.
death_date	The subject's death date, if applicable. 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}}. 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	The subject's place of death, if applicable. Do not use a flag template.
resting_place	Place of burial, ash-scattering, etc. Do not use a flag template.
resting_place_coordinates	Use {{coord}}
monuments	Significant monuments erected, buildings named, etc., in honour of the subject. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead.
residence	The subject's place of residence. Do not use a flag template.
education	Education, e.g., degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant. If very little information is available or relevant, the |alma_mater= parameter may be more appropriate.
alma_mater	The sportsperson's alma mater. This parameter is a more concise alternative to |education=, and will most often simply consist of the linked name of the last-attended higher education institution. It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise, as at Bill Gates.
occupation	Occupation as given in the article lead, including sport and non-sport professions, e.g., Professional [[football (soccer)|footballer]], [[coach]], [[sports journalist]] and [[venture capitalist]]. Try to avoid too much redundancy with the |sport= parameter.
years_active	Date range in years of the subject's activity in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format 1950–2000, or 1970–present if still active (note the use of an en dash, not hyphen). Do not link dates or years.
employer	The subject's employer(s). This is a good place for noting publications that the subject writes articles for, TV shows they are commentators, sporting goods companies for whom they do endorsements, etc. Use {{ubl}} or {{pl}} to format multiple entries, and use common sense explanatory notes if needed, e.g., to distinguish between multiple sports or disciplines.
agent	The subject's agent (individual and/or agency).
height	The subject's height, if relevant. To satisfy international variations of English, if the subject is American or British (or primarily notable in English for playing on an American or British team, or for participating in American or British sports) put measurements in feet and inches first, and use a template to convert to centimeters in parentheses, for example: {{convert|6|ft|3|in|cm}} — giving "" Conversely, if he or she is not American or British, place measurements in centimetres first, then use template to convert to feet and inches in parentheses, for example: {{convert|191|cm|ftin|abbr=on}} — giving "" If the subject's height stated in a source is the converted measurement, tweak the parameters of the {{convert}} template if required to ensure that this measurement is accurately stated. For example, if a source states that an American or British athlete is 192 cm tall, type {{convert|6|ft|3.6|in|cm|abbr=on}} to get the result "" (some experimentation using the "Show preview" button may be required). Indicating {{convert|6|ft|4|in|cm|abbr=on}}, which would yield "", would be inaccurate. For sportspersons who have not reached their adult height, it is very important to add the year when the height was measured, in parentheses (round brackets) after the height. Provide a reference for the information after the year, in parentheses, indicating in the footnote both the source and the original units, like this: "[source of information] (original measurement in feet and inches)"; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Unit conversions.
weight	The subject's weight, if relevant. If he or she is American (or primarily notable in English for playing for an American team, of for participating in U.S. sports), put measurements in pounds first, then in kilograms in parentheses, for example: {{convert|120|lb|kg}} — giving "" If he or she is not American, place measurements in kilograms first, then in pounds in parentheses, for example: {{convert|62|kg|lb|0}} — giving "" Note that the final zero is necessary for correct rounding of kilogram-to-pound conversions. After the weight, add the year when the weight was measured, in parentheses. Please supply a reference in the same manner as for the subject's height.
spouse	Name of spouse(s), followed by years of marriage. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current spouse and Name (1970–1999) for former spouse(s); for convenience, consider using {{marriage}}. Separate entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. For deceased persons still married at time of death, close the date range with death year.
life_partner	For unmarried life partners (of any gender or sexual preference), not business partners. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current partner and Name (1970–1999) for former partner(s).
other_interests	Significant interests other than sports that the subject has. Please use this parameter sparingly.
website	Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}} as in {{URL|examplesite.com|ExampleSite.com}}. Do not include the www. part unless the server is misconfigured and requires it. Use camel case capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read.
Sport
country	The country or countries that the subject represents in sport, if any (not all sports involve nationalistic representation). Do not use a flag template. Wikilink the country name only if doing so would not be redundant with links already present in prior parameters. Use {{ubl}} or {{pl}} to format multiple entries, and use common sense explanatory notes if needed: {{ubl|United Kingdom (assoc. football, rugby league)|[[New Zealand]] (rugby union)}}.
sport	The sport(s) that the subject has notably participated in (basketballers dabbling in tournament poker, or cricketers doing celebrity golf fundraisers does not count as notable participation in those sports). Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries; list the events chronologically, alphabetically or by depth of participation, as best suits the article; and give date ranges and other clarifications where appropriate. Link the name of the sport to a suitable Wikipedia article if one is available. Using the footballer example given under |occupation= above, the |sport= value might be {{ubl}}[[Rugby league]] (1991–1992)|[[Association football]] (1992–2001)|[[Rugby union]] (coach, 2001–present).
position	Primary position (e.g., goalkeeper, forward, quarterback, ...)
shoots	Shooting position (e.g. in Floorball)
catches	Catching position (e.g. in Floorball)
disability	A disability that the subject has.
disability_class	The disability sport classification(s) that the subject competes under.
weight_class
weight_class_type	Change the "Weight class" heading to another word, to match the terminology used in the sport.
rank	The rank of the subject in their sport. Use {{colorbox}} to indicate belt colour for martial artists.
event	The event(s) or discipline(s) within the sport that the subject specializes in, wikilinked to suitable article(s). Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries, and list the events alphabetically, chronologically or by depth of participation, as best suits the article{{ubl|[[Breaststroke]]|[[Freestyle swimming|Freestyle]]}}. This parameter should be removed when not useful, as in the case of the footballer example given in |occupation= and |sport=, above.
event_type	Change the text of the "Event(s)" heading to match the sport's terminology.
universityteam collegeteam	The team (squad) that the subject plays or played on at his or her university or college in the US sense. Note: you cannot use both of these parameters at once. Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries, and use common sense explanatory notes if needed, e.g., to distinguish between multiple sports or disciplines.
league	The name of the sport league(s), federation(s) or other sanctioning system(s) under which the sportsperson plays/played. It is not necessary to add this parameter if the sport in question has only one such notable organization. For play under/membership in a regional (e.g., continental) federation, it may be useful to name that body and the parent organization, e.g., [[European Pocket Billiard Federation]] ([[World Pool-Billiard Association|WPA]]).
league_type	Change the text of the "League" heading to match the sport's terminology, such as "Federation", "Association", etc.
club team	The name of the sport club(s) or team(s) that the subject belongs/belonged to, if any, with the years in parentheses. Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries. Do not use both, unless the terms have distinct meanings in the sport in question (which is not the case with football (soccer) – "club", "team" and "squad" are synonymous (but this template does not support a |squad= parameter).
turnedpro	The date or year that the subject turned professional. Do not link dates or years.
turnedpro_type	Change the text of the "Turned pro" heading to match the sport's terminology.
partner	Other sportpeople with whom the subject regularly plays, or used to play, doubles matches.
former_partner
coach	The name of a notable person who is coaching or once coached the subject, and the years in parentheses after the name.
retired	The date or year (not wikilinked) that the subject retired from sports., if applicable. If the subject died before formal retirement, do not add the death date to this parameter, just remove it entirely. Do not link dates or years.
coaching	The names of notable other sportspeople that the subject is now coaching. Only add the names of persons who have Wikipedia articles about them (no red links). If there is more than one person, arrange the names alphabetically by last name and separate them with commas.
Achievements and titles
worlds	Significant titles the subject has earned at world or international, regional and national competitions, and at the Olympic or Paralympic Games, for example: {{ubl |'''[[Athletics at the 2008 Summer Paralympics|2008 Summer Paralympics]]''': 200 m – Gold |'''2008 Summer Paralympics''': 400 m – Silver }} or: {{pl| * '''[[Athletics at the 2008 Summer Paralympics|2008 Summer Paralympics]]''': 200 m – Gold * '''2008 Summer Paralympics''': 400 m – Silver }} The string   creates a non-breaking space between the number and the unit (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Non-breaking spaces). And – creates an en dash; alternatively, insert an en dash using the symbol table that appears below the edit window. {{Ubl}} ({{unbulleted list}}) and {{pl}} ({{plainlist}}) format lists with each item on its own line, with semantic and accessible HTML list mark-up, but no bullets. Regional means multi-national, not sub-national; sub-national competition is not notable enough for an infobox. If the sport is not Olympic, then remove the |olympics= parameter. If the subject does not have a disability, then remove the |paralympics= parameter.
regionals
nationals
olympics
paralympics
commonwealth
highestranking	The subject's highest world ranking (as a cardinal numeral) with the year(s) when this was achieved in parentheses, like this: 1st (2005). Add the discipline/event or other clarifiers if needed: 1st (freestyle, 2005), or use a longer prose description of the title [[2009 WPA Men's World Nine-ball Championship|WPA World Nine-ball Champion (Men's Div., 2009)]].
pb	If applicable, the personal best times the subject has achieved with the years when these were achieved in parentheses, using {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format list items: {{ubl|'''100 m backstroke''': 1:03.17 (2001, '''WR''') |'''200 m butterfly''': 2:12.63 (2003) }} The following abbreviations may be used in parentheses after the year: CR – competition record, NR – national record, OR – Olympic record, PR – Paralympic record, WR – world record.
Medal record
medaltemplates	All templates from the medal record infobox except {{MedalTableTop}} and {{MedalBottom}}. Set out the medal templates in the order stated in the medal templates documentation, and arrange the competitions alphabetically by name. {{MedalSport|[[Swimming#competitive swimming|Men's swimming]]}} {{MedalCountry|{{SWE}}}} {{MedalCompetition|[[FINA World Aquatics Championships]]}} {{MedalSilver|[[2005 World Aquatics Championships|2005 Montreal]]|200 m [[breaststroke]]}} {{MedalCompetition|[[Olympic Games]]}} {{MedalGold|[[2008 Summer Olympics|2008 Beijing]]|[[Swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics|100 m freestyle]]}} {{MedalCompetition|[[Pan Pacific Swimming Championships|Pan Pacific Championships]]}} {{MedalBronze|[[2006 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships|2006 Victoria]]|100 m [[butterfly stroke|butterfly]]}}
show-medals	If show-medals=no, the medal table is collapsed. By default, it is expanded and will only be collapsed if the "hide" link is clicked. The default should be left as is unless there are more than three medals.
medaltemplates-title	Change the text of the "Medal record" heading
Modules
module module2 module3	Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. These parameters are not usually used directly in articles, and are mainly for creating other infoboxes based on this one with additional parameters. To see how these parameters are used, have a look at how {{Infobox swimmer}} is built. Note: module displays above the Sport heading, module2 displays above the Achievements and titles heading, and module3 displays below the medal templates and above the updated parameter.
Date updated
updated	Date the infobox information was updated. DMY: {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} MDY: {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTDAY}}, {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}

Module (Sports)	module misc	Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. Appears in "Sports" section. These parameters are not usually used directly in articles, and are mainly for creating other infoboxes based on this one with additional parameters.

Module2 (Achievements)	module2 misc2	Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. Appears in "Achievements" section. These parameters are not usually used directly in articles, and are mainly for creating other infoboxes based on this one with additional parameters.

Height	height	(DEPRECATED). The subject's height, if relevant. To satisfy international variations of English, if the subject is American or British (or primarily notable in English for playing on an American or British team, or for participating in American or British sports) put measurements in feet and inches first, and use a template to convert to centimeters in parentheses, for example: {{convert|6|ft|3|in|cm}} — giving "6 ft 3 in (191 cm)" Conversely, if he or she is not American or British, place measurements in centimeters first, then use template to convert to feet and inches in parentheses, for example: {{convert|191|cm|ftin|abbr=on}} — giving "191 cm (6 ft 3 in)" If the subject's height stated in a source is the converted measurement, tweak the parameters of the {{convert}} template if required to ensure that this measurement is accurately stated. For example, if a source states that an American or British athlete is 192 cm tall, type {{convert|6|ft|3.6|in|cm|abbr=on}} to get the result "6 ft 3.6 in (192.0 cm)" (some experimentation using the "Show preview" button may be required). Indicating {{convert|6|ft|4|in|cm|abbr=on}}, which would yield "6 ft 4 in (193 cm)", would be inaccurate. For sportspersons who have not reached their adult height, it is very important to add the year when the height was measured, in parentheses (round brackets) after the height. Provide a reference for the information after the year, in parentheses, indicating in the footnote both the source and the original units, like this: "[source of information] (original measurement in feet and inches)"; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Unit conversions.	String	optional
Weight	weight	(DEPRECATED). The subject's weight, if relevant. If he or she is American (or primarily notable in English for playing for an American team, of for participating in U.S. sports), put measurements in pounds first, then in kilograms in parentheses, for example: {{convert|120|lb|kg}} — giving "120 pounds (54 kg)" If he or she is not American, place measurements in kilograms first, then in pounds in parentheses, for example: {{convert|62|kg|lb|0}} — giving "62 kilograms (137 lb)" Note that the final zero is necessary for correct rounding of kilogram-to-pound conversions. After the weight, add the year when the weight was measured, in parentheses. Please supply a reference in the same manner as for the subject's height.	String	optional
Weight class	weight_class	The weight classification(s) that the subject competes under, if applicable in that sport	String	optional
Weight class type	weight_class_type	If the sport in which this sportsperson competes has a technical name for "weight class", use this parameter to specify it, thus changing the "weight class" label to something else.	String	optional
