Template:Person
The {{Person}} infobox holds the canonical summary facts for a biographical article and registers its family relationships with Extension:Genealogy. Place it at the very top of the article, before the lead sentence.
As of the v3 entity model it also reflects its summary facts into kb.person via Extension:KbReflect. The occupation and employer parameters (the employer may be a wikilink to the firm's article) show as infobox rows; structured year-by-year directory data goes in a == Directory listings == table built with {{Directory listing}} (see its page). The optional years_in_thunder_bay parameter is free text shown as written in a Years in Thunder Bay row, e.g. 1968–1975; 1990–2001, by 1957–at least 1969 or lifelong (1931–2015); when empty nothing is shown and no category is added. Optional v3 parameters: status (confirmed|provisional|disputed, default confirmed), extra (JSON catch-all), and notes. Genealogy father/mother/partner links will be projected into kb.relationship edges once the multi-row reflection follow-up lands; until then they live only in the Genealogy store.
How relationships work
Declare relationships only on the younger / child side, pointing up:
father,mother— the person's parents. These call{{#genealogy:parent|…}}, which both displays the link and stores the relationship.partner(and optionalpartner2,partner3) — spouse/partner. Stored via{{#genealogy:partner|…}}and shown bidirectionally.
Never list children or siblings by hand. The Children and Siblings rows are derived automatically by the extension from who declared whom as a parent. If a derived row is missing after an edit, re-save (null edit) the page to refresh; saving a child page also refreshes the parent.
