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

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.

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

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

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

Abbreviating

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

• Authority, 2003
• †S. additiona Spexia speciosa
• O. e. a. 2002 Spexia speciosa 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
