Notes

  1. Should be full name (when known) and NOT wikilinked.
  2. a.k.a. Date of birth. Use {{Birth date}} or {{Birth date and age}}
  3. a.k.a. Place of birth, should be wikilinked.
  4. a.k.a. Date of death. Use {{Death date}} or {{Death date and age}}
  5. If undefined, displays as "Unknown".
  6. Any notable achievements. e.g. Daytona 500 win, All-Star win, Championship, etc..
  7. Any notable awards. The definition of notable in this context is not clear, however, for now, if you think it might be notable, include it.
  8. Still under discussion, might not be included in template
  9. Required for any series that the driver has started one or more race. If not present NONE of the other stats will show.
  10. Formatting: Year Race (Track) Year linked to year in NASCAR page, name of race linked to page of that race. Wikilinked name of race. Track is wikilink to track, piped text should be nickname/short name.
  11. Required for any current driver. Formatting Car #, wikilinked team.
  12. Required for any driver that raced last year in any series.
  13. Required for any driver that raced last year for each series. If not present, the entire Previous Year line will not show for that series section.
  14. For any driver that was active in that series. Do NOT count this year. (if this year is the only year that the driver has participated, e.g., rookie, do not use this field
  15. Same formatting as First Race. If undefined, will not show.
  16. Required for any current driver. This field MUST be updated each time the stats are (use {{subst:Date}} or {{subst:Date|2=mdy}}). Once driver retires, and this field is irrelevant, remove field
  17. If undefined, shows as "0"
  18. Another term for this could be total starts. If the driver took the green flag, it counts.
  19. One race in a year counts for that year. e.g. 10 races in 10 years is possible, especially for road ringers

Use as a child template

The child, embed, and subbox parameters are used when embedding this infobox into another.

This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

{{Infobox person
| name = 
| image = 
| caption = 
| birth_date = 
| birth_place = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{EMBEDDED TEMPLATE NAME | child=yes <!-- or embed=yes or subbox=yes -->
  | parameter-1 = 
  | parameter-2 = 
  | parameter-3 = 
  | parameter-4 = 
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Embedding other templates

The module, module2, module3, module4, and module5 parameters are used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules and Category:Biographical templates usable as a module).

{{Infobox NASCAR driver
| name = 
| <!-- etc. -->
| module = 
  {{Infobox ABC
  | embed = yes <!-- or child=yes / subbox=yes-->
  | <!-- etc. -->
  }}
}}

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.

To include a URL, use Template:URL, specifying the url as the value of unnamed param 1; example:

{{URL|1=https://www.somedomain.com/foo/bar?q=weird_stuff&xyz=more_stuff}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • bday
  • birthplace
  • category
  • country-name
  • deathdate
  • deathplace
  • extended-address

  • honorific-prefix

  • label
  • locality
