Template:GISD/doc


 * Use
 * Template GISD formats a citation for the Global Invasive Species Database.


 * Syntax


 * Parameters
 * speciescode (mandatory)
 * The species code (sc) is obtained from the GISD website. On the homepage enter, as basic search criteria, either a binomial name or a common name. From the results list, select the appropriate entry. On the species profile page, select the button "FULL ACCOUNT (PDF)". In the document footers there will be an active URL; e.g. https://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/species.php?sc=2 . The species code appears as a number prefixed by "sc="; in this example: "2".
 * title (optional)
 * If this parameter is omitted, the title of the Wikipedia article will be used. This method is appropriate only if the Wikipedia title does not contain a binomial name, as the title will appear, in the footnote reference, without formatting, specifically, it will not be in italic. Alternatively, include a correctly formatted title, that corresponds to the title of the GISD species profile page; e.g. Miconia calvescens.
 * access-date (optional, but recommended)
 * The date when the article text was verified against the cited GISD reference.
