Is there an "adr template" in Wikipedia, so that the adr Microformat

Not /yet/...

Is there a way to create new templates? Can we create a template for
hcard, vevent, and so forth?

That's being looked at, but the situation is extremely complex, ...

I think that it might not be complex, if the scope is limited.

Many wiki articles have the name of a person.  Create a wikipedia
template that wraps the name with hCard.

For example, here's a wikipedia article on Arthur Ernest Percival [1].
His name could be wrapped in a wiki template like this:

{{person-name
|given-name=Arthur|additional-name=Ernest|family-name=Percival}}

The HTML that is generated by the template could be:

Arthur Ernest Percival
<span class="hcard" style="display:none">
     (<span class="family-name">Percival</span>,
      <span class="given-name">Arthur</span>
      <span class="additional-name">Ernest</span>)
</span>

Please don't introduce hidden metadata. That's one of the things we're trying to avoid with microformats.
