The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous.

This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox person/Wikidata}}. Any field from {{Infobox person/Wikidata}} can work so long as it is added to this template first. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as {{Infobox person/Wikidata}}. Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox person/Wikidata.

When adding an infobox using data from Wikidata, please check for consistency with the article and its references, and to address the inconsistencies observed, which can be done by amending the article or the Wikidata entry, or by supplying a better value to the infobox as a local parameter if this is what emerges from the sources.

{{Infobox scientist/Wikidata}} may be used to summarize information about a person who is a scientist, medic, engineer, mathematician or (scientific) academic.

This template may also be used as a module (sub-template) of {{Infobox person/Wikidata}}; see Wikipedia:Infobox modules for guidance on such usage.

This version of {{Infobox scientist}} retrieves various parameter values from Wikidata if enabled ("opt-in"), but only in the absence of a locally supplied value. The template calls Module:Wikidata and Module:WikidataIB.

It allows editors at the article level to blacklist various fields so that they do not display. This makes a positive statement that those fields are unsuitable for inclusion in that article's infobox.
