Template:Infobox writer is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |

This template was considered for merging with Template:Infobox person on 17 December 2011. The result of the discussion was "no consensus to merge at this time; some support for refactoring {{ Infobox writer}} so that it internally calls {{ Infobox person}}". |
Employer exists in infobox person, but not here. It's probably not relevant for authors of books, but I think it is significant enough for the infobox of writers for newspapers, magazines, websites, etc. MB 7:47 am, 24 September 2021, Friday (11 months, 26 days ago) (UTC−7)

I added the |signature_type=
parameter to this template, it could be able to add alternative text in place of Signature (for example: Seal). This parameter is borrowed from {{
Infobox royalty}}. --

This code for this infobox when embedding an image contains |title={{{caption|}}}
. When the alt=
parameter is empty or missing, this results in the image's ALT text getting set to the text of the caption. (
example) This is an improper ALT text: The alt text is intended to be read out by screen readers just before the caption, so avoid having the same details in both.
(
MOS:ALT) This behavior is also unhelpful for sighted readers in that it repeats the caption right below the image.

|title=
is used for the mouseover text, and it also says When "alt" is used without "title", the alt text is also used as the title, but I don't see anything about
|title=
being used for alt text. Also,
Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax says that when thumb/frame/frameless is not specified, If no alt text is specifically requested, use the requested caption as alt text.Also see on that page, the section that begins
The actual alt text for the displayed image will be one of the following, in order of preference:. The system may be working as designed. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 18:46, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

syntax, whereas these templates embed images directly, no?
