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:

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.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome! Lycaon 10:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Adalia (Adaliomorpha) edit

I removed the {{aut| }} template from the Name section of Adalia (Adaliomorpha) because the current instructions on Wikispecies use {{aut| }} only in the Reference section. --Georgeryp 15:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Similar change made to Adalia (Adalia) bipunctata and I clarified the instructions on the Templates page --Georgeryp 17:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Template:Faunaeur edit

When you make a reference/url template, it may be a good idea to include the line: <noinclude>[[Category:Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude> so it is placed in that category. --Georgeryp 16:58, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Coccinellidae edit

Hi, on Wikispecies we choose one classification to use on the taxon page. If the classification is disputed, we list alternatives on the associated talk (discussion) page ... thanks ... Stho002 (talk) 08:39, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Deletion nominations edit

Page for synonyms and original combinations should be either redirected or left as is. If a name has been published properly, there is no reason for it not to have at least a redirect here even if it is not currently in use. Koumz (talk) 12:46, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Template:Faunaeur and Template:BioLib edit

I've adjusted these templates so that the name displayed in the link can be easily italicized (for genus and species names) by just using "i" as the second parameter. Koumz (talk) 13:00, 7 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
