Usage
Paste the code for the relevant office and then add the personal data to the bottom. There are no required fields and some fields will not appear when others are in use. For instructions on how to implement multiple terms, see this page. For advice on alt text, see Alternative text for images.

The parameter order is used in conjunction with office to state that the officeholder is the nth holder of the office, for example "2nd President of Mauritius". If order is not specified, the value of office can be wikilinked in the usual way, for example, " Minister for Defence ". However, if order is specified together with office, the value of office is automatically linked to a Wikipedia article of the same name, whether such an article exists or not. Wikilinking cannot be used to redirect the link elsewhere, but a piped link can be created like this: " Ministry of Defence (Singapore)|Minister for Defence " (note that the double square brackets have been omitted).

When both a start and an end term are given, you can instead specify the complete term using using the parameters term, terms2, etc. This can be helpful with complicated terms that cannot be given as simple starting or ending dates, or if you prefer something other than the default term separator (an en dash, with spaces around it if the start or end is not a simple integer date).

Where a politician was redistricted into a new district, you can use prior_term to indicate which district(s) he was in before. This saves space in the infobox by not generating a completely new office each time redistricting happens. If you do this, it is recommended that you list the person preceded when the subject first took office and the person succeeded when the subject last left office. If more complete documentation of the districts is desired, it can be done with succession boxes at the end of the article.

Please do not re-purpose any fields to add decorative images, icons or flags. Template:Infobox viceroy styles or the like can be used for this. WP:INFOBOXFLAG applies here.
