Module:TaxonList
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 22,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
Module:TaxonList (talk · · hist · links · doc · sandbox · testcases)
The purpose of this module is to provide support for a set of templates that produce a list of taxon names and their authorities, with the taxon names possibly italicized, wikilinked or emboldened. It allows these templates to have an indefinite number of arguments of the form taxonName1|authority1|taxonName2|authority2| ... |taxonNameN|authorityN. Templates supported are: {{Bold species list}}, {{Linked species list}}, {{Linked taxon list}}, {{Species list}} and {{Taxon list}}.
Usage
The main function in this module must only be invoked from within a template that itself is transcluded from a page that supplies taxon name/authority pairs as arguments, since main picks up these arguments from the parent frame.
{{#invoke:TaxonList|main|PARAMETERS}}
where PARAMETERS may be
italic– set toyesto italicize each taxon namelinked– set toyesto wikilink each taxon namebold– set toyesto embolden each taxon name (also turns off wikilinking)incomplete– set toyesto output "(incomplete)" at the end of the list
Examples
{{Taxon list}} contains {{#invoke:TaxonList|main|incomplete={{{incomplete|no}}}}}. Hence:
{{Taxon list |Asparagales|Bromhead |Iridales|Dumortier}} →
- Asparagales Bromhead
- Iridales Dumortier
{{Linked species list}} contains {{#invoke:TaxonList|main|linked=yes|italic=yes|incomplete={{{incomplete|no}}}}}. Hence:
{{Linked species list |Poecilotheria fasciata|(Latreille, 1804) |Poecilotheria ornata|Pocock, 1899 |Poecilotheria rajaei|Nanayakkara et al., 2012 |incomplete=yes}} →
- Poecilotheria fasciata (Latreille, 1804)
- Poecilotheria ornata Pocock, 1899
- Poecilotheria rajaei Nanayakkara et al., 2012 (incomplete list)
