Welcome to Wikispecies!

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
• Templates are there to help you following syntax and formatting rules.
• Have a look at Done and to do.

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome! -- Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:44, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Wikispecies preferred style of format

Hello Eve Hutch. Please note that this edit you made earlier today, and may be others as well, doesn't comply with the recommended format as described in the Wikispecies "Name section" guideline, and that as a result of a poll in the Village Pump back in 2017 we shouldn't use the BASEPAGENAME magic word. This information was also stated in the edit summary given by me, prior to your most recent edit of the page [see first link above]. As a result, your edit will most likely be reverted. Best regards, Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 13:22, 22 June 2021 (UTC).

The above information is also true for the Petalon vietnamensis page you've edited. Please take your time to read WIkispecies Help:Contents (and its subpages) which provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies, as recommended by Andy to you in his message from 8 June. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 14:05, 22 June 2021 (UTC).

Hint for creating reference templates

Hello again. When creating reference templates, you can easily add the necessary categories and backlinks etc. by simply adding the tag {{subst:Reftemp}} directly after the actual citation. Then you wont have to add them manually, and you will not have to correct unintentional errors such as this one.

Example

First add all the standard data about the publication, as you normally do:

* {{a|Carolus Linnaeus|Linnaeus, C.}} 1753. Name of article. ''[[ISSN XXXX-XXXX|Name of journal]]'' 1(2): 3–4. {{doi|xx.xxxx/xxxx.xxxx.xxxx}}

You should of course replace the DOI template if you instead wish to link to a web page, ISBN, PDF, or other handle. Then, directly after the DOI (or equivalent) you simply add the {{subst:Reftemp}} tag, like so:

* {{a|Carolus Linnaeus|Linnaeus, C.}} 1753. Name of article. ''[[ISSN XXXX-XXXX|Name of journal]]'' 1(2): 3–4. {{doi|xx.xxxx/xxxx.xxxx.xxxx}}{{subst:Reftemp}}

Please note that it should always be added as the very last part of a reference template page, and without any space in front of it. All necessary spacing will be added automatically.

After you preview and save the template, that extra little code snibbet will automatically add the template to Category:Reference templates and add the link saying "Find all Wikispecies pages which cite this reference." In essence, the template will look something like this when added to a taxon page, however the links a names will of course be different:

• Fisher, C. 1753. Ignoratio elenchi, a new species of Red Herring. Journal of Applied Ichthyology 1(2): 3–4. DOI: 10.1038/nphys3090 Reference page.

The next time you edit the template it will not see the {{subst:Reftemp}} anywhere, since it has then been automagically replaced by all of the links and categories mentioned above.

Zootaxa template and DOI.

Hello Eve Hutch! Please be careful when adding parameters in Zootaxa templates, like you did for example when creating the {{Ceccolini & Cianferoni, 2020}} template. In your version the Zootaxa parameters renders like DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4822.2.1 which links to an entirely different document than the intended DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4822.2.12 (note the "2" at the end, which is the only difference). You can compare your initial version with my version in this "diff". Note that the ending "2" is the only difference in the Zootaxa template there as well.

In that comparison you will also see that I replaced some unrecommended HTML <i> tags with standard wiki code, and that I added an {{aut}} template in order to format a couple of author names. Those changes were made in an intermediate edit by me and are not related to the Zootaxa and DOI issue I mention above. Hence you can disregard them for the purpose of this discussion.
