Template:ThePlantList/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:ThePlantList.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

Use this template to add a citation or link to a species or taxon entry listed on The Plant List database. Pair this with <ref> tags to make full citations.

Syntax

Simple

Simply use the tag by itself or leave first two parameters blank to generate a citation of Wikidata's corresponding link to ThePlantList for the current article's plant species.

{{ThePlantList}}

Example

Adding {{ThePlantList}} to the Nelumbo nucifera page creates the following:

"Nelumbo nucifera". World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP). Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew – via The Plant List.

Advanced formatting and parameter options:

{{ThePlantList |  |  | taxon | authority | validity | accessdate = <date> }}

OR

{{ThePlantList | id =<id> | taxon = <taxon> | authority = (optional) | validity = (optional) | accessdate = (optional) }}

OR

{{ThePlantList | id=<id> | taxon | authority | validity | accessdate = <date> }}

OR

{{ThePlantList | providerId | recordId | taxon | authority | validity | accessdate = <date> }}

Linking to Genus, Family or any other page on ThePlantList.org

{{ThePlantList | url=<url> | italics=no | taxon | authority | validity | accessdate = <date> }}

italics=no is completely optional. It will remove italics from the link title, useful for linking to Family pages. By default italics is enabled. You should not use italics=no on species or Genus titles.
