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.
Important formatting notes:
- Every row must stay entirely on a single line within its
block — never split a<div>/<span>row across multiple lines, or MediaWiki's parser will auto-wrap it in a stray<p>tag and break the two-column grid layout. - There must also be no newlines between rows — every
block must run directly into the next with no line break at all. If a field likediedis left blank (very common on this template — most subjects are simplyLivingwith no death field at all), its block evaluates to nothing, but a newline sitting on either side of that blank output still reads as a blank line to MediaWiki and renders as an empty paragraph — visible dead space wherever a field is omitted. Keeping the whole infobox body as one unbroken line guarantees a skipped field leaves nothing behind. - If editing this template, keep it as one continuous line to avoid reintroducing either issue.
