Parameters

All parameters are optional (even "name" can be taken from PAGENAME).

name / title / type / image
name = Most common name in English-language sources (e.g. George III; Prince William (not William, Duke of Cumberland); Sophie (neither Princess Edward nor Princess Sophie); Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (rather than Queen Elizabeth); Prince William (rather than Prince William of Wales) etc.)
title = Principal substantive title(s) in use (e.g. King of England; prev. Duke of Edinburgh) (omit this field if any one "succession(X)" field would be identical to it). Automatically italicized, so do not use {{plainlist}} or similar templates; use <br /> for line breaks.
titletext = An explanatory note about "title", already in small text — such as a link to full titles (dependent upon "title")
more = Automatically-generated alternative to "titletext"; only appears if "titletext" is undefined/empty and "realm" is defined

image = i.e. X.jpg, that is to say no [[Image:
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 = Alt text for the image, for visually impaired readers see WP:ALT
caption = Details of artist and year, for instance see WP:CAP
succession fields
succession = Primary substantive hereditary title (regarding the following fields, "reign" 'til "suc-type"; omit the "title" field if the two would be identical)
moretext = An explanatory note about the "succession", already in small text — such as a link to full titles (dependent upon "succession")
reign = D Month YYYY – D Month YYYY (or other appropriate format per MOS:DATE#Dates; for monarchs and their consorts (although dates may differ between the two))
reign-type = Optional alternative text for 'Reign' (dependent upon "reign")
coronation = D Month YYYY (or other appropriate format per MOS:DATE#Dates; for monarchs and their consorts)
cor-type = Optional alternative text for 'Coronation', such as 'Investiture' (dependent upon "coronation"). Automatically links to country-specific article if one of the following values is entered:

  • france
  • hre
  • hungary
  • japan
  • malaysia
  • norway
  • ottoman
  • poland
  • russia
predecessor = For use in succession whose titles are entirely and directly hereditary. Link should be piped as appropriate — when it is reasonably clear that the person in context is a (e.g.) King of Scots, he may be linked as "James II" rather than "James II of Scotland".
pre-type = Optional alternative text for 'Predecessor' (dependent upon "predecessor")
regent = Any regents of the monarch in their role in this succession only; listed by most common name/title, most recent first, using {{unbulleted list}}.

successor = As predecessor, mutatis mutandis
suc-type = Optional alternative text for 'Successor'. e.g. 'Heir apparent' or 'Heir presumptive' (dependent upon "successor")

birth_name = If different from name or full name
birth_date =
birth_place = Residence, Town/City/County/Region/Country (although almost invariably Country is obvious) HOWEVER, TAKE CARE TO AVOID FLAGCRUFT (dependent upon "date of birth")
death_date =
death_place = See "birth_place", m.m. (dependent upon "death_date")
burial_date = See "death_date"
burial_place = See "birth_place"
spouse fields
consort =
  • yes, if the subject is the consort of any monarch — affects "reign"
  • no, which is the default if the field is omitted
spouse = Husbands/wives only; listed by most common name/title, in chronological order, using {{unbulleted list}}, and dates if needed, e.g. (m. 2004; div. 2006). Break dates onto a new line if more visually appropriate. spouses is an alternative.
spouse-type = Optional alternative text for 'Spouse', spouses-type is an alternative.
Another alternative is to repeat as "spouseX" and "spouseX-type" for 1–9; label is 'Wife' or 'Wives'.
issue = Children in order of birth, using {{unbulleted list}}; listed by name and highest shorthand title (e.g. Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex), do not use preceding styles (e.g. HM). Individuals without articles and/or who died as infants may be omitted from the list on an arbitrary basis. See also note for 'predecessor'.
issue-link = Creates small link to a section in the article for further details on offspring (dependent upon "issue")
issue-pipe = Changes the output text of the above link (dependent upon "issue-link")
full name = English/Anglicised full legal non-titular name (current/most recent), with maiden name '(née Whatever)' and translation in their native/official tongue(s) on a new line (each) underneath (use a ''{{lang-XX|}}'' multilingual support template)

era dates = The dates of the monarch's era (per the above)
regnal name = The monarch's regnal name
posthumous name = The posthumous name given to monarchs in certain traditions
temple name = As "posthumous name" m.m.

house-type = Optional alternative text for 'Royal house', such as 'Dynasty' or 'Family' (dependent upon "house")
father = Most common shorthand name, do not use preceding styles (e.g. HM). May include multiple individuals, such as (biological), (adoptive) or (hānai). See also note for 'predecessor'.
mother = Most common maiden name or highest title held in her own right
occupation = Primary non-royal occupations, listed most recent first (if the subject is deceased there's no need for 'prev.') e.g. 'Theatre; prev. Broadcasting' (alive), or 'Military; Author' (dead)
signature = X.jpg, being an image of the subject's personal signature
signature_type = A label to replace the default 'Signature', e.g. Tughra for Ottoman sultans
signature_alt = Alt text for signature
religion = Despite an RFC that generally forbids religion in "person" infoboxes, because religion is a relevant characteristic of many monarchs, religion may be listed if relevant, sourced and uncontroversial. See this template's talk page for related discussions.

The embed parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another.

This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

Notes

Peer wikilinks
The wikilinks of substantive peers (or those in another kind of numbered succession) should always show that number (eg Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall rather than Richard, Earl of Cornwall), unless other conventions say otherwise (such as that one should always see Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, never Prince Edward, 2nd Duke of Kent). Generally, use the article's title, omitting surplus fore- and surnames or disambiguation.

Microformats

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 {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • bday
  • birthplace
  • category
  • country-name
