Template:Cite MoBotPF/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template wraps {{Cite web}} and formats a citation to a webpage at Missouri Botanical Garden (MoBot) Plant Finder (PF). Citation Style 1 (CS1) is used unless |mode=cs2.

Parameters

This template will accept all parameters that are available to {{Cite web}}, though only a few are needed because it will automatically provide a standardized set of parameters. Parameters url, last1, author1-link, website, location, and language are set within the template to pre-formatted values. The template will overwrite any values placed in these parameters.

Parameters id and title are required. Using the value of id, the template formats url so that it points to a MoBotPF webpage.

Parameter access-date is strongly recommended.

Setting id

Parameter id must be set to the MoBotPF identifier for the page being cited. This can be found in the URL. In the example URL shown, it is prefixed by "taxonid=". The id in this URL is "281067".

https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?taxonid=281067&isprofile=1&basic=Crocus%20chrysanthus

Correct:

Y Correct  : |id=281067

Using another value or additional characters will not work:

N Incorrect: |id=taxonid=281067

N Incorrect: |id=281067&

N Incorrect: |id=Crocus%20chrysanthus

N Incorrect: |id=Crocus chrysanthus

Setting title

Parameter title should be set to the title of the webpage, usually the scientific name of the taxon. The template does not determine the formatting. Italics for species and infraspecies must be used when setting title.

Correct:

Y Species: |title=''Crocus chrysanthus''

Y Cultivar: |title=''Crocus chrysanthus'' 'Advance'

Y Hybrid: |title=''Ipomoea'' × ''multifida''

Incorrect:

N Species: |title=Crocus chrysanthus

N Cultivar: |title=Crocus chrysanthus Advance

N Hybrid: |title=''Ipomoea × multifida''

N Hybrid: |title=''Ipomoea x multifida''

Setting access-date

Parameter access-date is the date you accessed the webpage.

Pre-formatted parameters

Parameters url, last1, author1-link, website, location, and language are set within the template to pre-formatted values. Parameter publisher is not set as it is deemed redundant. Do not use pre-formatted parameters because the template will overwrite anything placed in them with the following values.

|url=https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?taxonid=id

|last1=Missouri Botanical Garden

|author1-link=Missouri Botanical Garden

|website=Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder

|location=St. Louis

|language=en
