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
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: † † {{extinct}}. Any of them will appear as † in the output. The † will not be italicized and will not be included in a wikilink.

See also

• {{Genus list}}, {{Linked genus list}} and {{Bold genus list}} are aliases for the equivalent "Species list" templates.

• {{Species list}} – creates a list for taxon names which should be italicized, i.e. taxa at ranks of genus or lower, not just species
• {{Linked species list}} – as {{Species list}} but the taxon names are wikilinked
• {{Bold species list}} – as {{Species list}} but the taxon names are in bold
