Template:Person of interest/doc

This infobox template was created for Canadian prime ministers but it can be used for any biography.

There are 4 required fields (rank, successor, birth, birthplace and party), 6 optional fields (name, image, imagesize, predecessor, death and spouse), and 5 optional fields with custom labels (addl_field_1 through addl_field_5; as the labels are not predefined, if additional custom fields are set the labels will need to be defined as well, by filling in addl_field_1_label through addl_field_5_label as needed). name will default to the name of the page if not set.

Example usage with all fields defined:

{{CanPMinfobox
|name=Hamster Wheel
|image=Example.jpg
|imagesize=200px
|rank=Foo
|predecessor=Bar
|successor=Baz
|birth=17 Qux 6759
|death=90 Mouse 6830
|birthplace=Erewhon
|spouse=Your mum
|party=[[PARTY HARD]]
|addl_field_1_label=Father
|addl_field_1 = Darth Vader
|addl_field_2_label = Username
|addl_field_2 = micearecool
|addl_field_3_label = Sockpuppet
|addl_field_3 = You
|addl_field_4_label = Language
|addl_field_4 = Welsh
|addl_field_5_label = Mouse
|addl_field_5 = Cat
