gollark: There's no (widely used) standard saying "if you're displaying an event/contact information/whatever else, you need these tags/attributes", so you generally just have to work off site-specific classes and structure.
gollark: If you want to, say, pull a list of scheduled events from one website, that's fine, you can do that quite easily, but if you want to do it for *many* websites, it is not.
