Parameters

Note: All custom parameters shown below are optional. See {{infobox person}} for remaining parameter descriptions. Use |codename= and |codename2= for codenames, |other_names= from {{infobox person}} should be used as described there.

Parameter	Description
allegiance	The country or other power the person served. Multiple countries may be indicated together with the corresponding dates. This field should not be used to indicate a particular service branch, which is better indicated by the agency field below.
agency	The service branch (KGB, MI5, etc.) the person was a part of; this should be left blank for people who were not part of a formal armed service, or who predate the establishment of formal service branches.
serviceyears	Years during which the person was active in aforementioned service. A simple year–year range is written using an en dash: – or {{ndash}}
rank	The highest rank achieved by the person—unless a reduction in rank occurred whether by punishment, voluntary, or as part of joining another military unit or military service. The rank being awarded posthumously, may be noted. In cases where the person held different ranks in different armies, multiple ranks should be specified with dates and country noted for each.
operation	Any notable operations in which the person participated. Italics may only be applied when "Operation" is omitted. Use a piped link if necessary.
codename	The codename by which the person was known to their handlers.
codename2 / codename3 / codename4 / codename5	The codename by which the person was known to their handlers.
codename2_label / codename3_label / codename4_label / codename5_label /	This parameter can be used to create a custom codename label if necessary, e.g. when the person is a double agent. Use sparingly.
other	Profession or positions held by the person other than their spy or military service.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
