Template:PersonInfobox

Renders the right-hand infobox card on a page about a person — including investigators, researchers, mediums, authors, filmmakers, writers, and media personalities.

Uses the same vault-infobox styling as {{CaseInfobox}}, {{LocationInfobox}} and other Vault templates.

Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the conditionals.

Usage:

{{PersonInfobox
|name=Gary JJ Spate
|image=Gary JJ Spate.jpg
|image_caption=Gary JJ Spate
|born=5 December 1981, Grimsby, Lincolnshire
|occupation=Filmmaker, writer, paranormal investigator
|known_for=Spirit Searchers Paranormal Research Society; Society of Paranormal Studies; The EERIE Files
|status=Living
}}

Place this at the very top of the page, before the article text.
