Microformat

This template emits an hCard microformat, to make key biographical data machine-readable. Please therefore do not remove the HTML classes: adr, country-name, fn, label, n, nickname, note, org, role, url, or vcard; and do not collapse the <div>, <span> or other elements containing them.

To do

• Refine categories

  • Make some categories hidden (see markup, below)
• Call values from Wikidata, once possible
