Notes
Separate multiple values using {plainlist} or {flatlist}.
To use the US-style "MM DD, YYYY" date format in date-producing templates, omit |df=y.
Microformat
The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {birth date}, or {birth date and age} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.
To include a URL, use {URL}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
