Talk:Carolus Linnaeus

"Described taxa"

"1 taxa described by Carolus Linnaeus"

First of all, this seems off by orders of magnitude. Secondly, shouldn't it be "1 taxon"? PiRSquared17 (talk) 01:13, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Now it says "2 taxa". I swear it just said 1. Either way, this can't be right. PiRSquared17 (talk) 01:14, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

@PiRSquared17: ::Like all these author pages, it will only pick up and include the taxon pages that have the [[Category: Carolus Linnaeus taxa]] added to them. This might eventually increase somewhat, but will only be accurate if the category statement is added to every taxon page. Accassidy (talk) 08:52, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Linnaeus duplicate references templates

• {{LSP}} =
  
• Linnaeus, C. 1753. Species Plantarum {{{1}}}: {{{2}}}. Reference page. 

Note: {{LSP}} encompasses both: Tomus I ({{Linnaeus, 1753}}) and Tomus II ({{Linnaeus, 1753a}})

---

• {{LSP1}} =
  
• Linnaeus, C. 1753. Species Plantarum. Reference page. 

Note: same as {{LSP}} but automatic volume selection depending on page number. Hence – same as {{Linnaeus, 1753}} + {{Linnaeus, 1753a}}

---

• {{LSP2}} =
  
• Linnaeus, C. 1762–1763. Species Plantarum, ed. 2. Reference page. 

Note: {{LSP2}} with automatic volume selection depending on page number. Hence – same as {{Linnaeus, 1762}} + {{Linnaeus, 1763}}

---

• {{LGP5}} =
  
• Linnaeus, C. 1754. Genera Plantarum, ed. 5: {{{1}}}. Reference page. 

Note: {{LGP5}} is same as{{Linnaeus, 1754}}

General comparison: LSP/LGP templates vs templates with standardized names ("Linnaeus, 1754"):

1. LSP/LGP templates render abbreviated name of the source
2. LSP/LGP templates have embedded BHL external link
3. LSP/LGP templates' names are not in harmony with our reference templates policy.
