A military person infobox may be used to summarize information about an individual military person, such as a soldier or military leader, or for uniformed officers in non-military branches of government.

This template may be used as a module (sub-template) of {{tl|Infobox person}}; see [[Wikipedia:Infobox modules]] for guidance on such usage.

== Usage ==

=== Blank template ===
The infobox should be added as shown below:

=== Parameters ===
'''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 "The Honourable".
* '''name''' – the full name of the person.
* '''honorific_suffix''' – post-nominal honours such as "OBE"
* '''image''' – ''optional'' – an image of the person. The image must be given in the form <code><nowiki>Example.jpg</nowiki></code>; 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_upright''' – ''optional'' – See [[WP:UPRIGHT]]
* '''image_size''' – ''optional'' – the size of the image in px. Give the number without the px suffix (for example, ''220'' rather than ''220px''). {{para|image_upright}} is preferred.
* '''alt''' [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images|Alt text]], if used, must be placed here.
* '''caption''' – ''optional'' – the text to be placed below the image.
* '''native_name''' – the person's name in their own language
* '''native_name_lang''' – [[List of ISO 639-2 codes|ISO 639-2 code]] e.g. "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use {{Tl|lang}} for {{Para|native_name}} instead
* '''birth_name''' – ''optional'' – the name the person was born with, if different from that used later in life.
* '''other_name''' – ''optional'' – other names by which the person was known.
* '''nickname''' – ''optional'' – nickname(s) by which the person was known.

* '''placeofburial''' – ''optional'' – the place where the person's remains are buried or otherwise interred.
* '''placeofburial_label''' – ''optional'' – the label of the ''placeofburial'' field (above). The ''placeofburial'' field is normally preceded by the label "Buried"; if this is not appropriate for the particular manner in which the remains were disposed of, a different label can be specified here.
* '''placeofburial_coordinates''' – ''optional'' – the precise location where the person's remains are buried or otherwise interred. {{UF-coord}}
* '''allegiance''' – ''optional'' – the country or other power the person served. Multiple countries may be indicated together with the corresponding dates. This field should not be used to indicate a particular service branch, which is better indicated by the <code>branch</code> field (below).
* '''branch''' – ''optional'' – the service branch (Army, Navy, etc.) the person was a part of; this should be left blank for people who were not part of a formal armed service, or who predate the establishment of formal service branches.
* '''branch_label''' – ''optional'' – the label of the ''branch'' field (above). The ''branch'' field is normally preceded by "Service/Branch"; to avoid word wrapping, one of "Service" or "Branch" can be specified.
* '''serviceyears''' – ''optional'' – the years during which the person served.
* '''serviceyears_label''' – ''optional'' – the label to use for the '''serviceyears''' field (above); defaults to "Years of service". 
* '''rank''' – ''optional'' – the highest rank achieved by the person. The rank being awarded posthumously, may be noted.

* '''commands''' – ''optional'' – for persons who are notable as commanding officers, the units they commanded. Dates should be given if multiple notable commands were held. Separate multiple entries using {{Tl|Plainlist}}.
* '''known_for''' or '''known''' – ''optional'' – for other areas of notability such as war crimes or notable orders.
* '''battles''' – ''optional'' – any notable battles or wars in which the person participated. This should be omitted if a {{tl|Campaignbox}} is used in conjunction with this template. Separate multiple entries using {{Tl|Plainlist}}.
* '''battles_label''' – ''optional'' – the label to use for the '''battles''' field (above); defaults to "Battles/wars".

* '''alma_mater''' – ''optional'' – educational institutions the subject graduated from and degree received, in parentheses. Separate multiple entries using {{Tl|Plainlist}}
* '''spouse''' – ''optional'' – list the service members spouse(s) if verifiable from a reliable source.
* '''children''' – ''optional'' – Only if independently notable themselves or particularly relevant. Number of children (e.g., three or 3), or list of names if notable, in which case, separate entries using <nowiki>{{Plainlist}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{Unbulleted list}}</nowiki>. For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of children of living persons, unless notable.
* '''relations''' – ''optional'' – any notable relations. Only reasonably close ones should be indicated; an exhaustive listing of an extensive family tree should be avoided here.
* '''laterwork''' – ''optional'' – profession or positions held by the person other than military service (displays with the label "Other work"). Separate multiple entries using {{Tl|Plainlist}}.
* '''signature''' – ''optional'' – an image of the person's signature. The image must be given in the form <code><nowiki>example.jpg</nowiki></code>.
* '''signature_size''' – ''optional'' – the size of the signature in px. Give the number without the px suffix.
* '''signature_alt''' – ''optional'' – alt text for the signature.
* '''website''' – ''optional'' – Use {{Tl|URL}}
* '''module''' – ''optional'' – Embedded template

=== Lists ===
For parameters such as {{para|awards}}, {{para|unit}} or {{para|commands}}, which take lists of values, unbulleted or bulleted lists may be preferable. See [[MOS:VLIST]].

'''Unbulleted lists''' can be created with {{tl|plainlist}} or {{tl|ublist}}. The use of {{tag|br|s}} is common but {{dcr|semantically incorrect.}} See [[MOS:NOBR]].

{{markup|<nowiki>awards = {{plainlist|
* Purple Heart (3)
* Bronze Star (2)
* World War II Victory Medal
* Presidential Unit Citation
* Orange Lanyard
}}</nowiki>|{{plainlist|
* Purple Heart (3)
* Bronze Star (2)
* World War II Victory Medal
* Presidential Unit Citation
* Orange Lanyard}}
}}

{{markup|<nowiki>awards = {{unbulleted list
| Purple Heart (3)
| Bronze Star (2)
| World War II Victory Medal
| Presidential Unit Citation
| Orange Lanyard
}}</nowiki>|{{unbulleted list
| Purple Heart (3)
| Bronze Star (2)
| World War II Victory Medal
| Presidential Unit Citation
| Orange Lanyard}}
}}

'''Bulleted lists''' can be created with * markup.

{{markup|<nowiki>awards = 
* Purple Heart (3)
* Bronze Star (2)
* World War II Victory Medal
* Presidential Unit Citation
* Orange Lanyard
</nowiki>|
* Purple Heart (3)
* Bronze Star (2)
* World War II Victory Medal
* Presidential Unit Citation
* Orange Lanyard
}}

=== Embedding ===
Many military people and uniformed officers in other services are known primarily for something other than their military service (e.g. [[Douglas Fairbanks Jr.]], [[Vivek Murthy]], or [[James Stewart]]), and hence it may be desirable to merge this infobox with another one, like {{tl|Infobox person}}. By adding {{para|embed|yes}} to the first line of the infobox code, one can embed this infobox into another, displaying 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 {{tl|Infobox person}}, this infobox is passed as a "module" using the {{para|module}} syntax. The title for the embedded section can be changed using {{para|embed_title}}.
