The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles 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 Peo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a PPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
Classes
hCard uses HTML classes including:
adr
agent
category
county-name
extended-address
fn
label
locality
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
uid
url
vcard
Peo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
geo
latitude
longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Precision
When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
Cars in lap records
Following a discussion on the talkpage, use of the "record_team" parameter has been replaced with "record_car" (and "record_team2" replaced with "record_car2"...). Existing articles which have not been updated will still work, but new infoboxes should use the new format.
