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

Purpose

For a biography article of an individual who has authored plant names, to link to the list of plant names the author has described as a botanical authority at the International Plant Names Index (IPNI).

Usage

Code

The template uses the standard author abbreviation as the first parameter

{{plantlist|''author abbreviation''}}

Example: {{plantlist|L.}} where L. is the standard author abbreviation for Linnaeus.

The template, which is in the form of a Citation, may be used in a number of ways;

1. As an inline citation. For instance in a Legacy section, it could be used as the citation for the statement that "The International Plant Names Index lists over n taxa named by her/him." This may take one of two forms (see References);-
   1. Using <ref> tags, e.g. <ref>{{plantlist|author abbreviation}}</ref> ^[1] to generate the output under References
   2. As a short footnote of the form {{sfn|Plantlist|2016}}, when the template is placed in the Bibliography. This will generate Plantlist 2016 in References, linked to the Bibliography. This displays as a reference number ^[2]
2. As a link in External links

Appearance

The template returns the statement: IPNI. List of plant names with authority author abbreviation

Example

{{plantlist|L.}}

on the page Carl Linnaeus (whose author abbreviation is L.) will return:
