Templates under consideration
There is still some work to be done to determine what information to include and what information NOT to include (we don't want too much duplication with Wikipedia).
In particular, even though it says Vernacular names below, they are currently only included if there is a link to a Wikipedia article.
There is also some new discussion about the layout and format of these pages, see
Wikispecies:Village pump/Archive 3#Revised proposal
.
Currently,
Panthera tigris
is seen as an example of an "ideal" Wikispecies page.
How a taxon page content should be structured
- Look at
Help:General Wikispecies
Taxonavigation:
Give the most commonly used clades of the taxonomic tree and allows a convenient navigation through all groups of life. To find templates for taxonavigation, see
template:sp
for an example. To
use
a template, use {{Nameofclade}}, like this: {{Aves}}.
Name:
Give the binominal name according to the original author of that name. For example:
Meles meles
(
Linnaeus
, 1758).
- Synonyms
(subsection): Give a list of other scientific names that have been used for the same species. These names are no longer valid but are still important because there is information out there under these names that can be used for the valid name still. SYNONYMS is a subsection of the NAME section. For more details, please see:
Help:Name section#Synonyms
. See
Anopheles triannulatus
for an example.
References:
Give the publication in which the original description of the species was presented.
This means an actual publication citation NOT a website.
Also, make these references complete and user-friendly. For example, unabbreviate "Insec. Inscit. Menstr." like this "Insecutor Inscitiae menstruus." To find references, try these sites:
Vernacular names:
Give names of the species in other languages by using the
{{VN|en=Red Fox|de=Rotfuchs|nl=Vos|ko=붉은여우|...}}
template.
Please do
not
add links to articles on this species in the particular Wikipedia, for example, do
not
add
[[en:badger]]
(links to the English Wikipedia on badgers), or
[[de:Dachs]]
(links to the German Wikipedia article on badgers). Adding those so called inter-wiki links would be redundant, since they are already served automatically by
Wikidata
, and will show up automatically even though they are not visible in the page code.
Try to avoid other information as well. If you must, add it to the discussion page of the taxon. To preserve understandability for all languages, further information for a particular taxon should be put on the respective Wikipedia.
Taxon formatting templates
Taxa formatting: General rules
To achieve a standard look across Wikispecies, we have put up some rules for entering new taxa.
When there are more than one of a certain taxon, the plural form of the taxon should be used. Multiple taxa of the same level should then be separated by a nonbreakingspace-dash-space combination (
-
). For genera and lower use above templates.

Welcome to Wikispecies!
Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
You are welcome to continue editing without
logging in
, but you may want to consider
creating an account
. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits, such as the ability to keep track of pages you work on. If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.
If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our
advice and guidance for taxon authors
.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here. Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask in the
Village Pump
. Again, welcome!
