Errors

If the template generates errors when calculating data for the Gini or HDI fields, it will add the article to Category:Country articles requiring maintenance. This only happens if the page is in the main article space, not any other namespaces.

Sandbox

A sandbox has been set up so modifications to the template may be tested before being implemented in the template proper:

Template:Infobox country/sandbox

If possible, please try to view any modifications using a variety of web browsers and on different types of computer (PC, Macintosh, etc.). Thank you!

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, 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.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date that is specific to the day, use {{start date}} unless the date is before 1583 CE. If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• category
• country-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• street-address
• url
• vcard

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