'''Please read [[how-to-play]] before making any edits.'''

'''Please read [[process]] before proposing any new microformats.'''

== Introduction ==

What are microformats? See the [http://microformats.org/about/ about page] for an overview, and the [[introduction]] page for more info. Recent [[press]], [[presentations]], and [[podcasts]] are also a good place for some background reading as well. Frequently asked questions are answered in the [[faq]]. Want something or want to contribute? Help with things [[to-do]].

One popular definition from our [http://microformats.org/discuss/ mailing list] is "simple conventions for embedding semantics in HTML to enable decentralized development." More precisely, microformats can be defined as:
:simple conventions
:for embedding semantic markup
::for a specific problem domain
:in human-readable (X)HTML/XML documents, Atom/RSS feeds, and "plain" XML
::that normalize existing content usage patterns
::using brief, descriptive class names
::often based on existing interoperable standards
:to enable decentralized development
::of resources, tools, and services

== Design Patterns ==

Design patterns give microformat authors a vocabulary for expressing their ideas consistently with what has already been done. ''If you're tempted to try your hand at writing a microformat '''[[process|read this first]]'''!''

== Tools & Test Cases & Additional Research ==

The first place to look for examples, code, and test cases is in the pages for each individual microformat. There are only a few cross-cutting tools and services that need to process more than one microformat. This section is intended for editors, parsers, validators, test cases, and other information relevant across multiple microformats.

== microformats wiki in other languages ==

You may read and edit microformats articles in <del>many different</del> other languages

=== microformats wiki languages with over 2 articles ===

* [[Main_Page-fr|Français (French)]]
* [[Main_Page-jp|日本語 (Japanese)]] {{NewMarker}}
* [[Main_Page-sp|Español (Spanish)]] {{NewMarker}}

=== Start a microformats wiki in another language ===

Don't see the language you want? Help translate the microformats wiki into another language!

We're still figuring this out.

For now, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multilingual_coordination Wikipedia page on Multilingual coordination], and [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_start_a_new_Wikipedia How to start a new Wikipedia] for some good general tips, advice, and community conventions.

You may want to start with the list of [[stable-pages]], which are pages that are relatively stable, and have only minimal/editorial changes, which makes them much easier to keep in sync with the English versions, by using the [[Special:Watchlist|my watchlist]] feature (use it to watch the pages you've translated for changes).

Page naming: for the translated version of a page, use the same name for the page, and simply add the RFC 3066 language identifier code as a dash suffix. E.g. for the French version, [[Main_Page]] becomes [[Main_Page-fr]], and [[how-to-play]] becomes [[how-to-play-fr]].
