Template:Infobox writer/doc

Infobox writer may be used to summarize information about a person who is a writer/author (includes screenwriters).

If the writer-specific fields here are not needed, consider using the more general Infobox person; other infoboxes there can be found in Category:People infobox templates.

Usage
The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article. All fields are optional. Any unused parameter names can be left blank or omitted.



Parameters
Please remove any parameters from an article's infobox that are unlikely to be used.

All parameters are optional.
