Template:Species list/doc

Usage
This template is one of a number intended for use in taxoboxes under the subdivision or synonyms parameters, to produce a list of taxa in a consistent format. The table below shows the behaviour of the available templates.

Use like this:

Both the taxon name and authority will be automatically formatted to produce:

Note that if the authority is not known, the "|" must still be present after the taxon name.

Mark incomplete lists using yes, which will add "(incomplete)" to the end of the list.

{{#ifeq:{{{1|Specieslist}}}|Specieslist|

Hiding the list
To make the list initially hidden (useful for long lists in taxoboxes, for example), the following parameters may be used before the pairs of taxon names/authorities: For example: produces }}
 * yes – the list will initially be hidden
 * header – optional; heading for the list, defaults to "List"

Variations
To automatically link the content of every taxon name, use Linked.

For example:

produces

{{#ifeq:{{{1|Specieslist}}}|Specieslist|

Abbreviating
Adding yes will cause the displayed name to be abbreviated.}}

Extinct taxa
The name of an extinct taxon can be preceded by one of the following markers:. Any of them will appear as † in the output. The † will not be italicized and will not be included in a wikilink.
