Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the organisation'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.

Sub-templates

If the organisation has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).
If the organisation has a URL, use {{URL}}.
If the organisation has a "coordinates" field, use {{Coord}} to include a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
category
country-name
extended-address
fn
geo
label
latitude
locality
longitude
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
url
vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.

TemplateData for Infobox university

INTERNAL: Module:Format_TemplateData:558: assign to undeclared variable 'dt'

Custom blank/free parameters

Note how the 10 customized free-data parameters (or blank label/data pairs) are shown in 3 parts of the infobox as upper/middle/bottom: upper (as "top_free_label=" with "top_free=" to "top_free2"), or middle (as "free_label=" with "free=" to "free2") or bottom (as "sports_free_label=" with "sports_free=" to "sports_free3"). Those 10 custom parameters allow speciality field labels and data values for 10 extra parameter label/data pairs. Also any of those 10 custom fields could be mere note labels, with text, to briefly explain nearby parameters, or link footnotes, without cluttering the other label/data pairs. A custom label can be set blank to hide as with "free_label= " to show only the data portion, with hidden label.
