Intended uses
This infobox template is intended to be used for current and former Canadian Football League (CFL) players, coaches and administrators.
This infobox template is not intended to be used for current and former National Football League (NFL) players, coaches and administrators, nor for players, coaches and administrators in the several NFL predecessor leagues, including the American Professional Football Association (APFA, 1920–1921), All-America Football Conference (AAFC, 1946–1949), American Football League (AFL, 1960–1969). This template is also not used for Arena Football League players, coaches and administrators. All of the foregoing use Template:Infobox NFL biography. This template may be more appropriate for a player, coach, or administrator who played in the NFL but is most notable for their CFL career.
This template is also not used for American college football players, which use Template:Infobox college football player, nor for American college football coaches, which use Template:Infobox college coach, the uniform template for college coaches in all American college sports.

In cases where the person held different ranks in different armies, multiple ranks should be specified with a date and country note for each.
