'''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 {{Tl|Infobox person}}; 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 {{Tl|Infobox person}}; see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/embed|WikiProject Infoboxes/embed]] 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 left blank or omitted.

== 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 {{Tlx|Cslist}} template: 
: {{Para|language|{{Tlx|Cslist|French|Spanish|English}}}}
which produces:
: |language={{Cslist|French|Spanish|English}}

If any of the individual values contain commas already, add {{Para|semi|true}} to use semi-colons as separators:
: {{Para|pseudonym|{{Tlx|Cslist|Smith, Bob|DaveyJones|Adams, Fred|semi{{=}}true}}}}
which produces:
: |pseudonym={{Cslist|Smith, Bob|DaveyJones|Adams, Fred|semi=true}}

For more information, see [[Template:Infobox person#Inline lists]].

! style="text-align: left" | Explanation
