![]() | This Project banner uses {{JPBannerMeta}} , a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining banners and talk-page notices. Please report any such errors or feature requests to Template talk:JPBannerMeta. Any information or warnings about the template are below:

![]() | This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

Because the {{Project Biography}}
template is used on almost two million pages, and that it puts a big strain on the servers every time it is updated (see the job queue), the template is currently protected and can be edited only by template editors and administrators.
If you would like to propose a change to this template:
- If the changes are significant, then discuss it on the talk page first.
- Test the changes in the Template:Project Biography/sandbox and then request an edit to the template on the talk page.
Usage
Please note: This template should be transcluded as {{Project Biography}}
and not substituted, because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit hundreds of thousands of pages. Many of these parameters place the talk page of the article into an appropriate category. A manually generated (though sporadically updated) list of all the categories used in this template is at Template:Project Biography/category list.
Place this template on the talk page of biography articles.
Basic usage
If the person is living:
{{Project Biography | living=yes | class= <!--Start, Stub, etc.--> | listas= <!--see note below --> }}
If the person is not living:
{{Project Biography | living=no | class= <!--Start, Stub, etc.--> | listas= <!--see note below --> }}
- Note for most talk pages, the
|listas=
parameter will be formatted as "Surname, Given Names", but this is not always true in certain cultures. See JP:NAMESORT, MOS:SURNAME, and MOS:GIVENNAME for further details.
Extended usage
If you have a lot of time on your hands:
{{Project Biography | living = <!-- yes/no (MANDATORY FIELD) --> | class = | listas = | a&e-work-group = | a&e-priority = | filmbio-work-group = | filmbio-priority = | military-work-group = | military-priority = | musician-work-group = | musician-priority = | peerage-work-group = | peerage-priority = | politician-work-group = | politician-priority = | royalty-work-group = | royalty-priority = | s&a-work-group = | s&a-priority = | sports-work-group = | sports-priority = | A-Class = | activepol = | attention = | auto = | blpo = | needs-discography = | needs-filmography = | needs-infobox = | needs-photo = | past-collaboration = | peer-review = | old-peer-review = }}
Parameters
Living people, active politicians and other BLP issues
|living=
Answer yes or no. If yes, this also affects the|needs-photo=
parameter, to emphasize the fact that free images must be used. This parameter must be specified whether or not the person is living. In case of music bands or any other list of people that is under the scope of this Project, the parameter should be set to "yes", if at least one of the people in that list is alive.- If
|living=yes
, this parameter adds {{BLP}} above Project Biography and populates Category:Biography articles of living people. - Articles lacking this parameter are found in Category:Biography articles without living parameter.
- If
|activepol=
Answer yes, if the article is about a currently active politician, otherwise remove this line.- This parameter adds {{Active politician}} above Project Biography and populates Category:Active politicians.
- It can only be used if
|living=yes
.
|blpo=
Answer yes, if the subject of the article is not a living person, but the article contains sensitive information about other living persons, otherwise remove this line.- This parameter adds {{BLP others}} above Project Biography.
- It can only be used if
|living=no
.
Note: The {{BLP}}, {{Active politician}} and {{BLP others}} banners will not be visible if Project Biography is used within {{Project banner shell}}, but the relevant categories will still be added. In such cases, these banners can still be added to a talk page by using the relevant parameters in {{Project banner shell}}; please refer to that template's documentation for further instruction.
Any changes to the wording of these banners should be requested on the corresponding template talk page, not here.

Listas
- listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for John Doe, use
|listas=Doe, John
so that the talk page will show up in the D's and not the J's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Justapedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
It is not required if another Project template on the same page has its own|listas=
set, since it not only affects categories used by the banner in which it is set, but it also affects the sortkey of all other banners and templates.- If left undefined, this parameter populates Category:Biography articles without listas parameter.
