Template:MSW3 Mead/doc

This template takes an optional id parameter, heading and page number or numbers for the MSW3 entry on the species or other subtaxon in question.

For example:

gives

for the fin whale, Balaenoptera physalus (the chapter link goes to the MSW3 web page for the species entry, while the title link goes to the Google Books preview for MSW3).

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).
