Infobox: Order based actual example.
Line 67:
;realname
*Full name, including middle or other names, but leave blank if it is the same as that of the '''name''' field. Consider using {{tl|nowrap}} if the name slightly exceeds the width of the infobox.
;birth_name
*If they have legally changed their name from their birth name to their current one.
;birth_date
*Include either {{tl|birth date and age}} or {{tl|birth date}}. To force DMY format, use <code>df=y</code>.
;birth_place
*City, state, country (including former country names, in the case of boxers born in the [[Soviet Union]] or [[East Germany]]).
;nationality
*Their current citizenship or nationality, but only if different from their country of birth, per [[WP:INFONAT]].
*Do not link to commonly known nationalities such as American, Russian, British, Mexican, Canadian, Australian, German, etc., per [[WP:OVERLINK]].
*For less commonly known nationalities, linking may be used: {{xt|<nowiki>[[United States Virgin Islands|U.S. Virgin Islander]]</nowiki>}}, {{xt|<nowiki>[[Guinea]]n</nowiki>}}, {{xt|<nowiki>[[Suriname]]se</nowiki>}}, {{xt|<nowiki>[[Myanmar|Myanma]]</nowiki>}}.
*Nationalities in which the spelling changes accordingly may also be linked: {{xt|<nowiki>[[Philippines|Filipino]]</nowiki>}}.
*Do not link to articles about ethnicity, such as {{!xt|<nowiki>[[Filipinos|Filipino]]</nowiki>}} or {{!xt|<nowiki>[[Nigerians|Nigerian]]</nowiki>}}, per [[WP:INFONAT]].
*Flag icons ''must not be used'', per [[WP:INFOBOXFLAG]].
*Multiple nationalities should be separated with {{tl|plainlist}}.
;nicknames
*List any verifiable nicknames, separated using {{tl|plainlist}} rather than line breaks (<nowiki><br></nowiki> or <nowiki><br /></nowiki>).
Line 79 ⟶ 93:
;reach
*Same as above, except use inches instead of feet and centimetres instead of metres: {{xt|182 cm}} or {{xt|71+1/2 in}}. The latter results in "71½ in".
;nationality
*Their current citizenship or nationality, but only if different from their country of birth, per [[WP:INFONAT]].
*Do not link to commonly known nationalities such as American, Russian, British, Mexican, Canadian, Australian, German, etc., per [[WP:OVERLINK]].
