Edit-copy green.png This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox writer.
It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page.
The design and content of biographical infoboxes should be verifiable. For a living person, more stringent rules apply. While this document may clarify details of their specific application to the infobox, it is primarily concerned with explaining usage and not with matters of policy and style.

Infobox writer may be used to summarize information about a person who is a writer/author (includes screenwriters).


Usage

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article. All fields are optional. Any unused parameter names can be left blank or omitted. 

{{Infobox writer <!-- For more information see [[:Template:Infobox Writer/doc]]. --> 
| name          = <!-- Deleting this line will use the article title as the page name. -->
| image         = 
| image_size    = 
| alt           = 
| caption       = 
| pseudonym     = 
| birth_name    = 
| birth_date    = <!-- {{Birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} -->
| birth_place   = 
| death_date    = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|YYYY|MM|DD}} -->
| death_place   = 
| resting_place = 
| occupation    = 
| language      = 
| nationality   = 
| ethnicity     = 
| citizenship   = 
| education     = 
| alma_mater    = 
| period        = 
| genre         = 
| subject       = 
| movement      = 
| notableworks  = 
| spouse        = 
| partner       = 
| children      = 
| relatives     = 
| influences    = 
| influenced    = 
| awards        = 
| signature     = 
| signature_alt =

}}
