This infobox is for classical composers. Note that most of the fields are optional and that they should only be used as necessary. This box was created as a result of extended debate in [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers/Infoboxes RfC]]; most of the participants there felt strongly that infoboxes should generally be avoided in articles on classical composers and requested that each proposed inclusion should be assessed on a case-by-case basis on that article's talkpage. See also the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Composers#Biographical_infoboxes|Composer project guidelines]]. Please note that only free-content images are allowed for depicting living people - see [[WP:NONFREE]].

==Examples==
===Short example===
Fields that belong in most usages:
{{Infobox classical composer
| name = Terry Riley
| image =
| birth_name = Terrence Mitchell Riley
| birth_date = {{Birth date and age|mf=yes|1935|6|24}}
| birth_place = [[Colfax, California]], U.S.
| era = [[Contemporary music|Contemporary]]
}}
<pre style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox classical composer
| name =
| image = 
| caption = 
| birth_name = 
| birth_date = 
| death_date = 
| era = 
| list_of_works = 
}}
</pre>

{{-}}

===Longer examples===
Examples with more of the fields used, some of which are disputable/inapplicable in any given article.

'''Use with caution and consensus'''.

The additional fields here, are: {{Para|honorific_prefix}}, {{Para|honorific_suffix}}, {{Para|baptised}}, {{Para|flourished}}, {{Para|notable_family}}, and {{Para|occupations}}.

<pre style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox classical composer
| honorific_prefix =
| name =
| honorific_suffix =
| image = 
| image_size =
| alt =
| caption = 
| birth_name = 
| birth_date = 
| baptised = 
| death_date = 
| death_place =
| occupations = 
| flourished = 
| era = 
| known_for = 
| list_of_works = 
| spouse = 
| partner = 
| children =
| parents = 
| notable_family = 
}}
</pre>

=== Fields that are specifically excluded ===

'''Note''' - the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers/Infoboxes RfC|Composers project RfC on infoboxes]] concluded that this box should remain minimal; the following fields were felt to be ambiguous or otherwise unhelpful:

*'''Instruments''' – because most composers play a few instruments. Any prominent instances can be added to the "Other occupations" field (e.g. <nowiki>[[Organist]], [[Cello|Cellist]], [[Horn (instrument)|Horn player]]</nowiki>).
*'''Nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation''' – too troublesome. Different sources will often give different details or emphasis.
*'''Teachers, Students, Collaborators, Employers''' – too indefinite. Could hypothetically include anything from week-long to lifetime-long relationships.
*'''Main cities of residence''' – too indefinite.
*'''Styles/schools''' – e.g. Verismo, Futurism, etc. Too ambiguous, and often only apply to single works, instead of whole careers.
*'''Genres''' – e.g. Symphonic, Chamber music, Opera, etc. Too ambiguous, and often only apply to single works, instead of whole careers.
*'''Labels''' – because even authors do not have their publishers listed in their infoboxes (only the books themselves do). Seems non-essential for an infobox.
*'''Associated_acts''' – generally inapplicable, except to contemporary composers. Also, the word "acts" is too ambiguous.
*'''Alias''' – generally inapplicable. Even articles on [[jazz royalty]] do not normally use nicknames in their infoboxes unless the nickname is used almost exclusively in preference to the given name.
*'''URL''' – Very few classical composers who ceased working before the 1990s have a website that qualifies as [[WP:ELOFFICIAL|an official website]]. For those that do, use {{tl|Infobox person}} or {{Tl|Infobox musical artist}}.

== Microformat ==
{{UF-hcard-person}}

== Tracking categories ==
* {{clc|Pages using deprecated image syntax}} – Used by [[Module:InfoboxImage]] to track articles where an infobox uses image syntax in the format <kbd><nowiki>|image=[[File:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></kbd>. To exclude articles from this category, change it to {{samp|<nowiki>|image=Example.jpg</nowiki>}}.
* {{clc|No local image but image on Wikidata}} – Used by [[Template:Wikidata image]] to track articles where an infobox has no image but [[Wikidata]] has an image name. To exclude articles from this category, add an image or {{para|nocat_wdimage|yes}} to the infobox.
