=MediaWiki mark-up issues=

Issues with adding microformat mark-up to sites using [http://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki] (such as this wiki, and [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia]).

If you know of a solution, or work-around, please post it!

==URLs==
*Wiki mark-up such as <code><nowiki>[http://example.com sample text]</nowiki></code> (which displays as [http://example.com sample text]) cannot have a class="url" added to the output "<code>A</code>" element.
**Workaround (if display of the URL is acceptable): use <code><nowiki>http://example.com</nowiki></code> (which displays as http://example.com)
**Workaround (if display of the URL is not acceptable): ???
***Why not just use <code><nowiki>[http://example.com sample text]</nowiki></code>? --[[User:TiszaGergo|Tgr]][[User talk:TiszaGergo|talk]] / [[wikipedia:User:Tgr|home]] 06:16, 9 Aug 2007 (PDT)

==Rel==
*Similarly, MediaWiki does not appear to support the use of the <code>rel</code> attribute on internal or external links.

==Tables==
*In the following code snippet (from an "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Infoboxes infobox]" table with an included [[hCard]]):

<code>
<pre>
<nowiki>
{| class="infobox vcard"
| class="fn org" | '''{{{name}}}'''
|-
{{#if: {{{address|}}} |
! Address
{{!}} {{{address}}}}}
|-
{{#if:{{{city|}}} |
! City
{{!}} {{{city|}}}}}
|-
{{#if:{{{country|}}} |
! Country
{{!}} {{{country|}}}}}
|-
{{#if:{{{latitude|}}} |
!
{{!}} <{{Coord|{{{latitude}}}|{{{longitude}}}|display=title}} }}
|}
</nowiki>
</pre>
</code>

:there is nowhere to hang the required <code>class="adr"</code>, such that it wraps the three relevant table rows, and no others.
::you can give a row a class (or any other valid HTML attribute) with <code><nowiki>{{!}} class="adr" {{!}} <span...</nowiki></code> --[[User:TiszaGergo|Tgr]][[User talk:TiszaGergo|talk]] / [[wikipedia:User:Tgr|home]] 06:16, 9 Aug 2007 (PDT)

==Abbr==
*MediaWiki does not appear to support the use of the <code>abbr</code> element.

==Dtend==

*The work-around for date-time pattern on Wikipedia (for example, birthdays in hCard) has been to use templates to output something like:

<pre>
<nowiki>
24 February 1993 (1993-02-24)
</nowiki>
</pre>

which degrades gracefully if CSS is not available. It is not acceptable to do so, to show the date advanced by one day for end-dates in hCalendar.

==XMDP==
*As with many CMSs, there is no facility for an editor to add an [[XMDP]] URI to (or in any other way to alter) the <code>head<code> element.
