| 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).

| 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.

|
| 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. |

| 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.
|
| weight | The subject's weight, if relevant.
|
| 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 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 If the subject does not have a disability, then remove the |
| 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: |
| 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.
