Usage

This template is offered as and optional supplement to bios of composers and other creative artists. Please use only where information is clear and susceptable to summarization without distortion; and use only with editorial consensus. One may wish to mock up a proposed box and solicit comment on the article's talk page before adding it to the article itself.

If you have questions, or wish to move this template to the "Template:" namespace for transclusion into actual articles, please leave a note for Turangalila.

See the table at the bottom of this page for an explanation of the various parameters, and formatting advice.

Guide to parameters

REQUIRED parameters — must have a value entered.

Parameter	Explanation
Name	Commonly-used Anglophone version of the subject's name — generally identical to the article's title.
Description	Enter a short descriptive phrase. Default value = "composer", but one could substitute another description, e.g. "Songwriter" or "Composer-conductor", or add an adjective such as the subject's nationality, as appropriate; Displays at top of box, immediately below Name;
Life_color	sets the background color for the Name and the "Life" heading. Default value ("PowderBlue") is provided, but one may substitute another color if desired.
Work_color	sets the background color for Title, and the "Work" heading. Default value ("PaleGoldenrod") is provided, but one may substitute another color if desired.

OPTIONAL parameters — delete any parameters that are not applicable, too narrow, etc.

Parameter	Explanation
These parameters apply to an image of the subject, if available.
Img	Enter *.jpg or other image name; Omit the namespace identifier (Image:) from image name; Do not enclose image name in brackets (i.e. omit "[[" and "]]").
Img_capt	Enter a caption for the image. Try to include the date of the portrait and the name of the artist or photographer.
Img_size	Image size, only if it is smaller than 220 pixels width. Do not use "px" after specifying the size.
Landscape	Enter the value yes when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels. Otherwise delete this parameter.
These parameters provide info on the subject's lifespan, family, etc. They appear under the header "Life".
Birth_name	Use only if different from name in header
Also_known_as	Enter any commonly used aliases or nicknames
Born	Enter birth date and place information using the format: [date] <br><small>[place]</small> ; Please do not insert flag icons — they are often anachronistic or otherwise inaccurate, and may break the template; Link dates as appropriate, per WP:DATE; Use approximations or ranges for dates where appropriate; Use the templates {{Birth date}} (if dead) or {{Birth date and age}} (if alive).
Baptized	Use as a substitute for the Born parameter where appropriate; use the same format as above; but DO NOT use "birth date" templates.
Died	Enter death date and place information, using the same format as in Born; Use the template {{Death date and age}} as appropriate.
Flourished	Use as a substitute for Born and Died where appropriate.
Notable_family	e.g. the Mendelssohns, the Gabrieli's, the Bach's, etc. Link only family notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article.
These parameters provide info on the subject's music & career. They appear under the header "Work".
Idiom	i.e. where the composer's works would likely be filed in a record store; Delete this parameter for most composers of the 19th Century and earlier; Displays in box as "Commonly classified as..." [value]; This parameter accepts only the following values: Classical, Jazz, Folk, Popular, Theater/Film, or Experimental.
Idiom2 and Idiom3	Same as Idiom — use for "eclectic" or "crossover" composers, e.g. Leonard Bernstein.
Historical_era	e.g. Renaissance, Baroque, etc.
Styles/schools	Any stylistic label(s), school(s), or movement(s) commonly associated with the composer; e.g. Franco-Flemish school, Verismo, Les Six, Futurism, Bebop, etc.
Teachers	One or two notable (notable enough to merit their own Wikipedia article) people with whom the subject studied extensively.
Students	One or two notable composers or others (notable enough to merit their own Wikipedia article) who studied extensively with the subject
Collaborators	Notable collaborators. e.g. Boito for Verdi, Diaghilev for Stravinsky, Peter Sellars for John Adams, etc; List only those who worked extensively with the composer, and who are notable enough in their own right to merit a Wikipedia article.
Employers/patrons	e.g. the Roman Catholic church; the Hapsburg monarchy, etc. (for those composers strongly associated with a particular employer/patron)
Other_occupations	e.g. "Pianist" for Liszt, "Insurance agent" for Ives, etc.
Principal_genres	e.g. "Opera" for Verdi; "Symphony, Song" for Mahler, etc.; Delete parameter for more wide-ranging composers.
Notable_works	List one or two works on which the subject's fame rests; Primarily for "one-(or two-)hit wonders", rather than for more prolific composers; For example, an infobox for Engelbert Humperdinck might list Hänsel und Gretel in this parameter.

Examples

Fake example using all parameters

Obviously no actual article will use all parameters; this is just for testing. See below for examples of how the box might look in practice.
