Module:Cite taxon/doc

This module was created to generate cite web references to the Catalog of Fishes database. The capabilities were extended to handle other fish-related references and the module renamed FishRef. Further extension to cover taxonomy databases handling non-fish taxa led to creation of template BioRef. A general Cite taxon template and module to handle citations to a wide variety taxonomy database is the long-term goal.

The module provides a wrapper to the cite web system, which means that the references can also include general cite web parameters (e.g.  or  ).

The module is used with Catalog of Fishes, which was designed to replace a series of templates that were originally written in the Wikipedia template language: Cof genus, Cof family, Cof species, Cof record.

Other templates using the module:


 * BioRef (general purpose template handling many databases*)
 * FishRef (general purpose template handling many fish databases)
 * FishBase/sandbox (proposed for Fishbase)
 * Fossilworks
 * Catalogue of Life
 * Cite WFO (World Flora Online)
 * Cite mdd (Mammalian Diversity Database)
 * Cite BOW (Birds of the World)


 * The module currently handles ASW6, Amphibiaweb, Reptile Database, IOC, Avibase, TiF, WoRMS, POWO, GRIN, IPNI, World Plants, World Ferns, Tropicos, FNA, ATRF, Goffinet's Bryophyte classification, Algaebase, Paleobiology DB, ITIS
