This is an infobox for a biographical article on a [[Figure skating|figure skater]], summarizing personal information and the skating career. It is compatible with '''{{tl|Figure skating infobox medals}}''', which can be used to list medals at major international skating competitions. This template can be used as a stand-alone infobox or be embedded as a child template into a parent infobox.

Based on the proposals and majority votings on [[WP:FIGURE|WikiProject Figure Skating]] in [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Figure Skating/Archive 10|October 2023]], various parameters have been removed from this template, including ISU personal best scores as well as the full world standing and season's best lists. Please help updating the infoboxes for all skaters, following '''[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Figure Skating#Infobox|these guidelines]]'''. If you notice any issues with this infobox template, please leave a message on the [[Template talk:Infobox figure skater|talk page]].
