**Infobox writer** may be used to summarize information about a person who is a writer/author (includes screenwriters).  

If the writer-specific fields here are not needed, consider using the more general ; other infoboxes there can be found in :Category:People and person infobox templates.  

This template may also be used as a module (or sub-template) of ; see for guidance on such usage.  

## Syntax

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article. All fields are optional. Any unused parameter names can be blank or omitted.  

<syntaxhighlight lang="html">  

</syntaxhighlight>  

<pre>  

</pre>  

## Parameters
Please remove any parameters from an article's infobox that are unlikely to be used.  

All parameters are optional.  

Unless otherwise specified, if a parameter has multiple values, they should be comma-separated using the template:  
:  
which produces:  
: |language=  

If any of the individual values contain commas already, add to use semi-colons as separators:  
:  
which produces:  
: |pseudonym=
