Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/embed

Many Infoboxes can take another template, including another infobox, as a module (or child-, or sub-template).

Inversely, some infoboxes can have other templates, and other templates, are configured so that they may be embedded as a "child" or "module" infobox within another.

When embedding a template it is usually necessary to set yes (or yes) in the embedded (child) template.

The child template is entered as the value of a parameter in the parent, usually module or embedded.

Converting an Infobox
In order to be configured for potential use as a module, an infobox must have a few adaptations, including modified styling, the suppression of the template's name display, and the addition of a subheading. Here is an ; results shown to the right; note the "Scientific career" subheading.

Infobox person
Infobox person can have another biographical infobox (or infoboxes - up to six slots are available) as a Module. Those available are listed in Category:Biographical templates usable as a module (NB may not yet be fully populated). See, for example, using Infobox scientist as the child template (results shown alongside).

can also take other child templates, for example, Listen. See.
