 | This template is used on approximately 316,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This template produces a component of an hCard microformat, which makes a person or place's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article 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.
hCard uses HTML classes including:
- adr
- agent
- bday
- category
- county-name
- extended-address
- fn (required)
- geo
- honorific-prefix
- honorific-suffix
- label
- locality
- nickname
- note
- org
- role
- vcard
Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Specifically this template takes the background parameter from ((Infobox musical artist)) or ((Navbox musical artist)) and returns either fn (for individuals) or fn org (for groups), thus:
- person = fn
- solo_singer = fn
- non_vocal_instrumentalist = fn
- non_performing_personnel = fn
- group_or_band = fn org
- cover_band = fn org
- classical_ensemble = fn org
- temporary = fn org
