Template:MSW3 Shoshani/doc

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

For example:

gives

for the southern tree hyrax, Dendrohyrax arboreus (the title link goes to the MSW3 web page for the species entry).

In the following example, a heading is used:

giving

for Procavia (the heading link now goes to the MSW3 web page for the genus entry, while the title link goes to the Google Books preview for MSW3).

Shoshani contributed the following sections to MSW3: Order Hyracoidea, Order Proboscidea and Order Sirenia. When no heading is employed, it may be advantageous to use instead one of the more specific taxon-based templates (MSW3 Hyracoidea, MSW3 Proboscidea or MSW3 Sirenia), 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).
