[edit] Existing template
- {{Species name}}
- Usage: {{species name|Panthera tigris}}
Panthera tigris* - Effects: Italicization, links to the English Wikipedia and the Commons.
- {{taxon}}
- Usage: {{taxon|tiger}} or {{taxon|Panthera tigris|tyger}} tiger or tyger.
- Effects:
- Text remains identical to original text.
- Links to Wikipedia (in-text) and to Wikispecies and the Commons (in a little floating box on the right).
- Eventually, this could add categories (e.g. Category:Panthera tigris) following the scheme in the WikiMedia Commons, allowing users to quickly find every page in
- Concerns:
- What about cases where you want to link to both the common name (e.g. "tiger") as well as the Latin binomial ("Panthera tigris")? Should we support {{taxon}}? I think that makes the whole template very complicated (and perhaps we could have an 'advanced' template which supports some or all of this?
