[edit] Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Date-of-birth ("bday") parameters will only be included in the microformat if {{Birth date}} or {{Birth date and age}} are used in the infobox.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • bday
  • county-name
  • fn (required)
  • honorific-prefix
  • honorific-suffix
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • role
  • vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

  • image is automatically sized to be no larger than 250 pixels in width and 150 pixels in height. Only the name of the image is needed, as the field fills in the rest of the link (so only picture.svg, not [[image:picture.svg]])
  • caption is optional, and only need is the image needs some explanation.
  • class_symbol will be automatically sized if text, but logos may need to be sized by the editor. About 60 pixels works well for most logos.
  • loa and lwl are total length and waterline length respectively.
  • draft will be two values for boats with retracting keels or centreboards, they are best separated with a <br /> to put them on separate lines (see example)
  • currentoly (current Olympic Class) and formerolympic (Former Olympic Class) will display if anything is entered after their = symbols.
