Nodyn:Infobox musical artist/hCard class/doc

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:

  • 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
