An unformatted duration can be input in the first parameter: {{Duration|10:20:30}} (hours:minutes:seconds) or {{Duration|20:30}} (minutes:seconds). There must be a seconds value, as inputs in hours and minutes are indistinguishable from inputs in minutes and seconds.

{{Duration|10|20|30}}

where parameters are hours, minutes and seconds respectively. If the hours or minutes values are zero, then leave them blank (e.g. {{Duration||20|30}}). Minutes and seconds values default to zero, although they should ideally be specified.

{{Duration|h=10|m=20|s=30}}

where h, m and s are hours, minutes and seconds respectively. Minutes and seconds values default to zero, although they should ideally be specified.

This template can be used in:

In {{Infobox album}}, the microformat is added automatically if there is not one already. However, more complicated values might require this template.
