Template:MSW3 Groves/doc

Usage
This template is used to generate a citation to any part of the 3rd edition of Mammal Species of the World (MSW3) written by Colin Groves. Groves contributed the following sections to the book: Order Monotremata, Order Notoryctemorphia, Order Dasyuromorphia, Order Peramelemorphia, Order Diprotodontia and Order Primates.

Example 1
In the printed copy of MSW3, the ring-tailed lemur is found on page 117. Online, it is found on a page entitled "Lemur catta" at page id 12100056 (found in the URL). Italics are provided in the heading for species and genus names. If a heading is provided, the title link goes to the Google Books preview for MSW3.

This yields:

Example 2
In the printed copy of MSW3, Primate is found on between pages 111 and 184. Online, it is found on a page entitled "Primates" at page id 12100001 (found in the URL). Italics not are provided in the heading since it is a taxonomic order.

This yields:

When no heading is employed, it may be advantageous to use instead one of the more specific taxon-based templates (MSW3 Monotremata, MSW3 Notoryctemorphia, MSW3 Dasyuromorphia, MSW3 Peramelemorphia, MSW3 Diprotodontia or MSW3 Primates), which supply a default chapter heading.

An optional ref parameter is supported but seldom used. It allows specification of reference names in Harvard references, for use in the citation template family. For example, use of harvid or SfnRef templates enables subsequent use of short-format templates like harvnb or sfn (see Yarkand hare and Long-tailed vole for examples of usage).
