Template:Species list/doc

Usage

This template is one of a number intended for use in taxoboxes under the |subdivision= or |synonyms= parameters, to produce a list of taxa in a consistent format. The table below shows the behaviour of the available templates.

Taxon name			Template
Italicized	Linked	Bold
no	no	no	{{Taxon list}}
no	yes	no	{{Linked taxon list}}
yes	no	no	{{Species list}}, alias {{Genus list}}
yes	yes	no	{{Linked species list}}, alias {{Linked genus list}}
yes	no	yes	{{Bold species list}}, alias {{Bold genus list}}

Use like this:

{{Species list
| Spexia speciosa | Authority, 2003
| †Spexia additiona | Others et al., 2002
| Spexia typa | Describer, 1888 (type)
| Spexia dubia |
| Specia dubia subsp. maxima |
}}

Both the taxon name and authority will be automatically formatted to produce:

• Spexia speciosa Authority, 2003
• †Spexia additiona Others et al., 2002
• Spexia typa Describer, 1888 (type)
• Spexia dubia
• Specia dubia subsp. maxima

Note that if the authority is not known, the "|" must still be present after the taxon name.

If a "connecting term" is present in a botanical name, such as "subsp.", "var." or "f.", then this should not be italicized. The template should automatically de-italicize connecting terms. If this fails, you can put '' either side of the connecting term to de-italicize it.

Mark incomplete lists using |incomplete=yes, which will add "(incomplete)" to the end of the list.

Hiding the list

To make the list initially hidden (useful for long lists in taxoboxes, for example), the following parameters may be used before the pairs of taxon names/authorities:

• |hidden=yes – the list will initially be hidden
• |header= – optional; heading for the list, defaults to "List"

For example:

{{Species list|hidden=yes
| Spexia speciosa | Authority, 2003
| †Spexia additiona | Others et al., 2002
| Spexia typa | Describer, 1888 (type)
| Spexia dubia |
| Specia dubia subsp. maxima |
}}

produces

List

• Spexia speciosa Authority, 2003
• †Spexia additiona Others et al., 2002
• Spexia typa Describer, 1888 (type)
• Spexia dubia
• Specia dubia subsp. maxima

Variations

To automatically link the content of every taxon name, use {{Linked species list}}. To bold-face the species (e.g. if they will never have their own pages, when listed in a genus article) use {{Bold species list}}.

For example:

{{Linked species list / {{Linked genus list
| Spexia speciosa | Authority, 2003
| †Spexia additiona | Others et al., 2002
| Spexia typa | Describer, 1888 (type)
| Spexia dubia {{!}} S. dubia | <!--creates a piped link-->
| ''[[Puma (genus) {{!}} Puma ]]'' | Jardine, 1834 <!--handles a disambiguated genus name-->
}}

produces

• Spexia speciosa Authority, 2003
• †Spexia additiona Others et al., 2002
• Spexia typa Describer, 1888 (type)
• S. dubia
• Puma Jardine, 1834

Each of the three "species list" templates has a "genus list" alias.

Abbreviating

Adding |abbreviated=yes will cause the displayed name to be abbreviated.

• S. speciosa Authority, 2003
• †S. additiona Others et al., 2002
• S. s. subsp. speciosa
• S. sect. Additiona

Extinct taxa

The name of an extinct taxon can be preceded by one of the following markers: † † {{extinct}}. Any of them will appear as † in the output. The † will not be italicized and will not be included in a wikilink.

See also

• {{Genus list}}, {{Linked genus list}} and {{Bold genus list}} are aliases for the equivalent "Species list" templates.

• {{Taxon list}} – creates a list for taxon names which should not be italicized, i.e. taxa at ranks higher than genus
• {{Linked taxon list}} – as {{Taxon list}} but the taxon names are wikilinked
