Template:Taxon list

Template documentation

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	Template
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:

{Taxon list
| †Smithiaceae | Authority
| Jonesiaceae |
| Junkiaceae | Describer
}

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

†Smithiaceae Authority
Jonesiaceae
Junkiaceae Describer

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

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 taxon list}.

For example:

{Linked taxon list
| †Smithiaceae | Authority
| Jonesiaceae |
| Junk flowers {!} Junkiaceae | Describer <!--creates a piped link-->
| ''[[Puma (genus) {!} Puma ]]'' | Jardine, 1834 <!--handles a disambiguated genus name-->
}

produces

†Smithiaceae Authority
Jonesiaceae
Junkiaceae Describer

Extinct taxa

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