This template should be used instead of {{Infobox roller coaster}} when the automatic unit conversion and categorization features in the main template are not desirable. The main use of this template is in an article about multiple installations of a widely-cloned coaster, such as Batman: The Ride

The "rcdb_number" parameter is the NUMBER in the URL (not the full URL) of the coaster's entry at the Roller Coaster Database. For example, Kingda Ka's RCDB page is http://www.rcdb.com/id2832.htm so the RCDB Number for Kingda Ka is 2832. It's an optional parameter, but should always be used.

[edit] Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
