In certain situations, you'll be presented with more than one minister, a logo, and other items. As well, as per law, all departments in Canada are bi-lingual, so you'll also want to be including the French name for the department. With this being on English Wikipedia, the French will appear much smaller. Here's an example of a template being used to the maximum.

Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
Affaires étrangères et Commerce international
Department of the Government of Canada
Minister	Peter MacKay
Minister	David Emerson
Established	1993
Discontinued	2020
Succeeded by	Silly Walks
Responsibilities	Foreign Relations International Trade

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.

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.

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.
