This template aims to provide a standard way of referencing taxonomic databases. It uses module:Cite taxon. The module was created as module:FishRef to generate {{ cite web}} references to the Catalog of Fishes database. The capabilities were extended to handle other fish-related references, hence the original module name, and the system now covers a number of taxonomic databases covering amphibia, reptiles, birds, mammals and plants, as well as a few invertebrate and general databases.
The template provides a wrapper to the cite web system, which means that the references can also include general cite web parameters (e.g. |mode=cs1|2
or |quote=TEXT
). The module provides the information for website/database, authors/editors and generates default links and titles based on provided parameters such as |id=
, |species=
, |genus=
, |family=
, |taxon=
. In all cases the link and title can be overridden with |url=
and |title=
.
The basic usage is {{Cite taxon|database|parameters}}
