=Microformats Wiki=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Hello!''' Welcome to the microformats wiki. If this is your first visit, please see the [[introduction]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please read [[how-to-play]] before making any edits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please read [[process]] before proposing any new microformats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting Started==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[what-are-microformats|What are microformats]]? [[what-can-you-do-with-microformats|What can you do with them]]? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [http://microformats.org/about/ about page], plus recent [[press]], [[presentations]], [[podcasts]], and [[screencasts]] are also good places for some background information. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frequently asked questions about the wiki and microformats in general are answered in the [[faq|FAQ]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

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

&lt;br /&gt;
== Tools &amp;amp; Test Cases &amp;amp; Additional Research ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[accessibility]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[faqs-for-rdf]]&lt;br /&gt;

*[[parsing-microformats]]&lt;br /&gt;

*[[vcard-implementations]], [[vcard-errata]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[why-are-content-standards-hard]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== shared work areas ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[buttons]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[spread-microformats]] {{NewMarker}}&lt;br /&gt;
* [[demo]] - a page with links for quickly demonstrating microformats working in practice.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[user-interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[marked-for-deletion]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== microformats wiki in other languages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may read and edit microformats articles in many other languages:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* languages with over 50 articles&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Main_Page-fr|Français (French)]] {{NewMarker-fr}}&lt;br /&gt;
* languages with over 10 articles&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Main_Page-pt-br| Português (Brazilian Portuguese)]] {{NewMarker-pt-br}}&lt;br /&gt;
* languages with over 2 articles&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Main_Page-ja|日本語 (Japanese)]]&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Main_Page-es|Español (Spanish)]]&lt;br /&gt;
* languages with 2 articles&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Main_Page-de|Deutsch (German)]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== microformats translations elsewhere ====&lt;br /&gt;
These are offsite pages/sites with translations about microformats.  If you are working on one of these, please consider translating the main microformats website!&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://mikroformate.pbwiki.com/ Deutsch (German) mikroformate.pbwiki.com] {{NewMarker}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Start a microformats wiki in another language ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don't see the language you want?  Help translate the microformats wiki into another language!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We're still figuring this out.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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]].&lt;br /&gt;
