A military person infobox may be used to summarize information about an individual military person, such as a soldier or military leader.
This template may be used as a module (sub-template) of {{Infobox person}}; see Wikipedia:Infobox modules for guidance on such usage.
The infobox otherwise should be added using the {{Infobox military person}} template, as shown below:
{{Infobox military person | honorific_prefix = | name = | honorific_suffix = | image = | image_size = | alt = | caption = | native_name = | native_name_lang = | birth_name = | nickname = | birth_date = <!-- {{birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{birth date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if dead --> | birth_place = | death_date = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|YYYY|MM|DD}} death date first, then birth date --> | death_place = | placeofburial = | placeofburial_label = | placeofburial_coordinates = <!-- {{Coord|LAT|LONG|display=inline,title}} --> | allegiance = | branch = | serviceyears = | rank = | servicenumber = <!-- Do not use data from primary sources such as service records --> | unit = | commands = | battles = | battles_label = | awards = | memorials = | spouse = <!-- Add spouse if reliably sourced --> | relations = | laterwork = | signature = | signature_size = | signature_alt = | website = <!-- {{URL|example.com}} --> | module = }}
Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE). Please keep in mind WP:ICONDECORATION for the use of images.
- honorific_prefix – titles such as "Sir", "General".
- name – the full name of the person.
- honorific_sufffix – post-nominal honours such as "OBE"
- image – optional – an image of the person. The image must be given in the form
Example.jpg
; an image of a nation's highest award, such as the Medal of Honor or Victoria Cross, may be displayed for recipients of it, especially as a placeholder. - image_size – optional – the size of the image in px. Give the number without the px suffix (for example, 220 rather than 220px).

Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}.

Lists
[rætta wikitekst]For parameters which take lists of values, such as |awards=
, |unit=
or |commands=
:
- For unbulleted lists, use {{plainlist}}. The use of the
<br />
tag is common but semantically incorrect.
Markup | Renders as |
---|---|
awards={{plainlist| * Purple Heart (3 [[Oak leaf cluster|OLC]]) * Bronze Star (2 [[Oak leaf cluster|OLC]]) * [[World War II Victory Medal]] * [[Presidential Unit Citation (United States)|Presidential Unit Citation]] * [[Orange Lanyard|Orange Lanyard of the Royal Netherlands Army]] }} |

Embedding
[rætta wikitekst]Many military people are known for more than just their military service (e.g., Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and James Stewart), and hence it may be desirable to merge this infobox with another one, like {{Infobox person}}. By adding "|embed=yes
" to the first line of the infobox code, one can embed this infobox into another, creating the illusion of one continuous infobox. Though the process is a little complicated, it is possible to insert this infobox into most if not all other infoboxes. For {{Infobox person}}, this infobox is passed as a "module" using the |module=
syntax.
{{Infobox person | name = John Infobox | image = Example.jpg | caption = John Infobox in 2005 | birth_name = John Military Person Infobox | birth_date = {{Birth date|1950|5|5}} | birth_place = Template City | death_date = {{Death date and age|2010|10|10|1950|5|5}} | occupation = Actor | years_active = 1970–1990 | module = {{Infobox military person|embed=yes | allegiance = {{Flag|United States of America}} | branch = [[File:Us army air corps shield.svg|25px]] [[United States Army Air Forces]] | serviceyears = 1980-1985 | rank = [[File:US-O7 insignia.svg|20px]] [[Brigadier general (United States)|Brigadier General]] | website = {{URL|example.com}} }} }}
