This template is used to provide biographical information on anyone who might be considered a philosopher. If the philosopher held or holds a political or other public office (e.g. Alan Greenspan), {{Infobox officeholder}} is probably more suitable.

To use this template, copy the text above to the top of a biography article. Note that parameter names are lowercase.

All parameters are optional, and if left blank will not appear in the infobox:

  • era should be selected from Category:Philosophy by period
  • region should be selected from Category:Philosophy by region
  • school_tradition should be selected from Category:Philosophical traditions or List of schools of philosophy
  • Entries in influences, influenced, and notable ideas should be explained in the main text of one of the articles. Those that are not mentioned in the main text may be deleted.
  • For living people supply only the year for birth date unless the exact date is already WIDELY published, as per WP:DOB. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use {{birth year and age}} or a similar option.

For usage of other parameters, see Template:Infobox person/doc.

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.

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{Birth date}}, {{Birth date and age}}, or {{Birth-date}} are used in the infobox. (but do not use these if the date is before 1583).

To include a URL, use {{URL}}

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • bday
  • category
  • country-name
  • extended-address
  • family-name
  • fn (required)
  • given-name
  • honorific-prefix
  • honorific-suffix
  • label
  • locality
  • n
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • role
  • url
  • vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.

End of Infobox person

Alternatively {{infobox philosopher}} may be embedded within {{infobox person}}, using |module in the latter, as shown here. This allows the use of more fields by drawing on both infoboxes. For an example, see Hannah Arendt.
