{{documentation subpage}}

'''Infobox Person''' may be used to summarize information about a person. It is an alternative to more specific templates such as those listed at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Infoboxes|WikiProject Biography/Infoboxes]] and within the [[:Category:People infobox templates|people infobox templates category]].

As [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Infoboxes|WikiProject Biography/Infoboxes]] notes, editors of some [[Wikipedia:WikiProject]]s, such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Composers#Biographical_infoboxes|WikiProject Composers]], discourage the use of infoboxes in biographies without prior consensus. Check an article's talk page for more information.

== Usage ==
The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article and then filling in the desired fields. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed.

===Blank template with basic parameters===
