A template for taxa listed in the World Register of Marine Species, related (sub)projects and The European Register of Marine Species.

Usage

edit

Use as {{WoRMS|1|2|3|4}} or {{WoRMS|id=|db=|name=|accessdate=}}

Parameters:

  • the 1st (or db) (optional): a short name for a certain project (commonly, a name of a directory appended to the base URL 'www.marinespecies.org/', e.g. 'asteroidea' in the case of the World Asteroidea Database, which is accessed via 'www.marinespecies.org/asteroidea'). If this parameter is blank, a link to WoRMS itself is constructed. A full list of supported databases is shown below.
  • the 2nd (or id) (mandatory): AphiaID for the desired taxon
  • the 3rd (or name) (optional): a parameter for the taxon name:
    • by default with this param empty and {{PAGENAME}} is used as taxon name
    • i value forces italicization of {{PAGENAME}}
    • other values are recognized as an explicit taxon name (wiki is allowed)
  • the 4th (or accessdate) (optional): date of access

Examples

For the page, say, Calanus we should obtain:

  • with {{WoRMS|copepoda|104152|Calanus Leach, 1816|November 16, 2017}} or {{WoRMS|id=104152|db=copepoda|name=Calanus Leach, 1816|accessdate=November 16, 2017}}
  • Calanus Leach, 1816 in the World of Copepods, accessed on November 16, 2017
