[edit] hCard Microformat

I would like us to add the hCard microformat (see also Wikipedia:WikiProject_Microformats) to these template. I can advise on the required mark-up, but I'm not familiar with template code editing. Can anyone help, please? Andy Mabbett 11:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Now implemented on many biography infoboxes; see Category:Templates generating hCards. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 11:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New infobox

Someone needs to create Template:Killer Infobox, particularly after the Virginia Tech Massacre. --Theunicyclegirl (talk, review me!) 19:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] British nationalities

I've noticed that for a whole range of British people their country of origin is listed as England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. This is surely incorrect as we should be listing which state the person is from, not the region. I haven't seen people listed as being from Brittany, or Catalonia, or Bavaria, so why is the UK being discriminated against in this way? For wikipedia to decide that in the case of the UK, its sub-parts are more important than the whole is a political point of view that has been allowed to creep into wikipedia and we should move to correct it. I'm not sure where the best place to discuss this issue is, so if someone wants to direct me elsewhere I will take my concerns there. Otherwise we should decide a policy here.

[edit] Parameters for dead people

The templates {{Infobox person}} and {{Infobox actor}} now have parameters for resting_place and resting_place_coordinates (see Marylin Monroe for an example using both). I think we should add them (and the "death place" field) to other biography-infobox templates. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 22:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criminal

For some reason, this Template:Infobox is listed in section B rather than section C.71.193.193.109 02:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
