Template:Infobox Twitch streamer

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This infobox is intended to be used in articles about Twitch personalities, often referred to as streamers, rather than using the generic {{Infobox person}} template. The template may be used for individual Twitch streamers or collective Twitch accounts run by more than one person.

Usage

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article and then filling in the desired fields. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed.

Birth place	birth_place	Place of birth: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Use the name of the birthplace at the time of birth, e.g.: Saigon (prior to 1976), Ho Chi Minh City (post 1976). Do not use a flag template.	String	optional
