ފަންވަތް:Infobox writer
The design and content of biographical infoboxes should follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, infobox style guideline and biographical style guideline. For a living person, more stringent rules apply. While this document may clarify details of their specific application to the infobox, it is primarily concerned with explaining usage and not with matters of Wikipedia policy and style. |

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{{Infobox person}}; other infoboxes there can be found in Category:People and person infobox templates.

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.
