==Purpose==
The template is for making external links to the [http://avibase.bsc-eoc.org Avibase] ornithology taxonomy database.

==Format==
# {{Para|id}} - slug of Avibase page URL; if no value is entered, the template will attempt to fetch it from [[Wikidata]]
# {{Para|name}} - text to display; defaults to page name of no value is entered

 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>avibase|id|name<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

The Avibase ID can be found in the search results for that species. (Note this is ''not'' the same as the Taxomic Serial Number).

==Example of usage==

=== Get data from Wikidata ===
<code><nowiki>*{{</nowiki>avibase<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

=== Use page name ===
<code><nowiki>*{{</nowiki>avibase|1BB50DE8362A4963<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

will be displayed as

* {{avibase|1BB50DE8362A4963}}

=== Full ===
<code><nowiki>*{{</nowiki>avibase|1BB50DE8362A4963|Turdus merula<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

will be displayed as

*{{avibase|1BB50DE8362A4963|Turdus merula}}
