Place the template code always above {{Wikidata Infobox}}, not under!

Infobox (Standard usage)

• Standard usage to inform the reader:

{{Round}}

The word round can have several meanings, such as “round like a circle” (→circular or ring-shaped), “round like a roll or drum” (→cylindrical) or “round like a ball” (→spherical). It can also serve as a distinction from the usual shape of the object in question, e.g. “round, not rectangular” or “round, not flat” or “round, without edges”. More precise meanings of the word round are generally preferrable: oval[1] elliptical circular polygonal revolution- shaped[2] ring- shaped cylindrical (truncated-) conical (hemi-) spherical polyhedric curved 2D 3D ↑ In the mathematical sense ellipses and circles are special types of ovals. ↑ In the mathematical sense rings, cylinders, cones and spheres are all solids of revolution.

Navigation box

• If the category is about oval, elliptical, circular, polygonal,… objects or themes, then you can use the template as a navigation box:

{{Round|n}}

"round" oval[1] elliptical circular polygonal revolution- shaped[2] ring- shaped cylindrical (truncated-) conical (hemi-) spherical polyhedric curved 2D 3D ↑ In the mathematical sense ellipses and circles are special types of ovals. ↑ In the mathematical sense rings, cylinders, cones and spheres are all solids of revolution.

Maintenance box

• If a clean up needs to be done use:

{{Round|c}}

or with an edit comment:

{{Round|c}} <!-- to keep it as infobox simply delete "|c" -->

This category needs to be specified more precisely!

Only 2D shapes (works for all box styles)

• If there are only 2D-shapes in this category no 3D-options will be displayed:

{{Round|c|2}}

{{Round|1=c|2=2}} <!-- to keep it as infobox simply delete "|1=c" -->
