This template provides the common biographical portions of various biography templates, such as {{PM}} and {{Bio}}. It includes the table start code ({| class="wikitable" style="float:right; font-size:85%") but not the table end code, which must be provided by the enclosing template.

NOTE A: Parameters of the form xxxx-raw are alternatives to the non-raw form. These should be used instead of the non-raw form to (a) provide links where the article name is different to the displayed name, or (b) where a link is not wanted. For example, if the capital of a country is Washington, but the page name for that capital is Washington D.C., then you would type capital-raw=[[Washington D.C.|Washington]]. If, instead, the page name is simply Washington, then capital=Washington is all that is needed, and will automatically be linked. If both non-raw and raw forms are supplied, the non-raw form will be ignored.

NOTE B: The date of birth/death rows will display if either the year or date is provided. The full date (day of month, month, and year) should be provided for the sake of accuracy.
