== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Parameter !! Default !! Description
|-
| <code>ID</code> || || The in-game name the person uses in gaming.
|-
| <code>name</code> || || The name of the person in their own language, if not English.
|-
| <code>name_trans</code> || || If <code>name</code> is not English, use the English name here.
|-
| <code>image</code> || || Image name: {{kbd|abc.jpg}}, {{kbd|xpz.png}}, {{kbd|123.gif}}, etc., without the {{samp|File:}} or {{samp|Image:}} prefix.
|-
| <code>caption</code> || || Caption for image, if needed. Try to include the date of photo, some context, and the photographer if known (check the <code>File:</code> or [[Wikimedia Commons|Commons]] page for the image).
|-
| <code>upright</code> || || Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).
|-
| <code>alt</code> || || Descriptive [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images|<code>alt</code> text for the image]], for visually impaired readers. One word (such as {{kbd|photograph}}) is rarely sufficient. Do not copy-paste the value of {{para|caption}} (below) into this parameter. Example of the difference: "Willie Nelson at a concert in Dallas, 1989" is good as {{para|caption}} value; "Nelson in western-wear with an acoustic guitar, on stage in a daytime show with band in background" is an {{para|alt}} description. If nothing meaningful can be said that isn't already in the caption, use the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images#Captions and nearby text|stock text]] {{para|alt|refer to caption}}.
|-
| <code>nickname</code> || || Other notable names for the person, if different from {{para|ID}}, {{para|name}}, and {{para|birth_name}}.
|-
| <code>birth_name</code> || || Name at birth; only use if different from {{para|name}}.
|-
| <code>birth_date</code> || || Date of birth: Use {{tlx|birth date and age}} (if living) or {{tlx|birth date}} (if dead). {{crossref|See template's page for details on usage.}} If only a year of birth is known, or age as of a certain date, consider using {{tlx|birth year and age}} or {{tlx|birth based on age as of date}}. For living people [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of personal information and using primary sources|supply only the year unless the exact date is already widely published]]. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use {{tlx|birth year and age}} or a similar option. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
|-
| <code>birth_place</code> || || Place of birth: {{kbd|{{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}}}.
* Use the name of the birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: {{kbd|Saigon}} (prior to 1976) or {{kbd|Ho Chi Minh City}} (post-1976).
* [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence, or death|Do not use a flag template]], coat of arms, or other icon.
* [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes#Purpose|Omit unnecessary or redundant details]]. For example, it is not necessary to state: {{!xt|{{kbd|New York City, [[New York (state)|New York]], United States}}}} when {{xt|{{kbd|New York City, U.S.}}}} conveys essentially the same information more concisely.
* Countries should [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should not be linked|generally not be linked]].
* For modern subjects, the country should generally be a sovereign state; for United Kingdom locations, the constituent [[Countries of the United Kingdom|countries of the UK]] are sometimes used instead, when more appropriate in the context.
* For historical subjects, use the place name most appropriate for the context and our readership. What the place may correspond to on a modern map is a matter for an article's main text.
* For subsequent places (of death, etc.) it is not necessary to repeat jurisdictional details or links for the same place name.
|-
| <code>death_date</code> || || Date of death: Use {{tlx|death date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{tlx|death date}} (if birth date unknown). {{crossref|See template's page for details on usage.}} If exact dates are unknown, consider using {{tlx|death year and age}}. The templates mentioned in this paragraph emit metadata indicating the date is in the Gregorian calendar; if the date is in the Julian calendar, do not use these templates, just write the date.
|-
| <code>death_place</code> || || Place of death: {{kbd|{{var|city}}, {{var|administrative region}}, {{var|country}}}}.  ({{crossref|See {{para|birth_place}}, [[#birth place|above]], for instructions on how to use this parameter}}, including: no flag templates, inappropriate linking, redundancy, anachronisms, "country" definitions, etc.)
|-
| <code>nationality</code> || || Use only when necessary per [[WP:INFONAT]].
|-
| <code>team</code> || || Current team of the player.
|-
| <code>game</code> <code>games</code> || || The game or games the person currently plays with the team they are currently on.
|-
| <code>role</code> || || The role or roles the person currently has on the team they play with.
|-
| <code>league</code> <code>leagues</code> || || The league or leagues the person's current team plays in.
|-
| <code>inactive</code> || ''no'' || Set to ''yes'' if the person is currently inactive. This parameter should '''not''' be used to signify retirement (retirement should be indicated by {{para|career_end}} below).
|-
| <code>career_games</code> || || The games the player is known for playing throughout their career, if different from {{para|game}} or {{para|games}} above.
|-
| <code>career_role</code> || || The role the player is known for playing throughout their career, if different from {{para|role}} or {{para|roles}} above.
|-
| <code>career_start</code> || || The year the person began their playing career.
|-
| <code>career_end</code> || || The year the person ended their playing career.
|-
| <code>coach_start</code> || || The year the person began their coach career.
|-
| <code>coach_end</code> || || The year the person ended their coach career.
|-
| <code>yearsN</code> || || The years the person played with {{para|teamN}} (''N=1,2,3...''). Years should be separated with an [[en dash]] (e.g. ''years1=2012–2015''). This parameter should '''not''' include months or days.
|-
| <code>yearsN</code> || || The years the person played for {{para|teamN}} (''N=1,2,3...'').
|-
| <code>teamN</code> || || The teams the person played for during {{para|yearsN}} (''N=1,2,3...'').
|-
| <code>cyearsN</code> || || The years the person coached for {{para|cteamN}} (''N=1,2,3...'').
|-
| <code>cteamN</code> || || The teams the person coached for during {{para|cyearsN}} (''N=1,2,3...'').
