Template:GBIF/doc

Usage

This template creates a citation for a taxon in the species section of GBIF's website.

The Wikipedia Manual of Style recommends that taxa of the rank Genera and below be italicized (i.e. supergenus, subgenus, genus, species, subspecies, and varieties). Higher taxa should not be italicized. Italicizing, when appropriate, can be done using wiki markup as shown in the examples.

Cut and paste

{{GBIF |id= |taxon= |accessdate=13 August 2024 |mode=cs1 or cs2}}

where:

|id= the ID number, as shown at the top of the desired GBIF page.

|taxon= the scientific name, as shown at the top of the desired GBIF page, italicized if appropriate.

|accessdate= the date on which you looked up the reference, in the style appropriate to the article.

|mode= determines the style of the citation; if omitted the default is cs1.
