Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is an editor's aid. On each species page of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, IUCN provides an example citation. This template takes that example citation as a single parameter value and returns a {{cite iucn}} template.

Usage

To use this template

  1. at an IUCN Red List species page, highlight and copy the example citation
  2. at the en.wiki article write:
    {{subst:make cite iucn|}}
  3. paste the IUCN example citation into the above between | and }}
  4. click Show preview to show the {{cite iucn}} template as a raw template
  5. click Publish changes; the raw template shown in Show preview becomes active

Example

At IUCN, the page for Smooth Arizona Cypress has this example citation:

Farjon, A. 2013. Cupressus arizonica var. glabra. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Downloaded on 27 December 2019.

writing the template:

{{subst:make cite iucn|Farjon, A. 2013. Cupressus arizonica var. glabra. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Downloaded on 27 December 2019.}}

shows this in Preview mode:

{{cite iucn |author=Farjon, A. |year=2013 |title=Cupressus arizonica var. glabra |volume=2013 |page=e.T19708408A19708411 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en |access-date=27 December 2019}}

when substed gives this:

{{cite iucn |author1=Farjon, A. |year=2013 |title=''Cupressus arizonica'' var. ''glabra'' |volume=2013 |page=e.T19708408A19708411 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en |access-date=27 December 2019}}
Farjon, A. (2013). "Cupressus arizonica var. glabra". IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. 2013: e.T19708408A19708411. doi:10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en. Retrieved 27 December 2019.

Limitation

Substing does not work within <ref>...</ref> tags; see Script error: No such module "Section link"..

One, sort of awkward, way around that is to open another browser window and open a sandbox. Write the {{make cite iucn|<IUCN citation text>|x}} (note the unnamed parameter x at the end); click Show preview, the template will render a formatted {{cite iucn}} template that you can copy and paste into the target article. The x parameter shows the italic markup in |title=.

Alternatively, use |ref=NAME to wrap the output with <ref name=NAME>...</ref> tags. When substituted with the code:

{{subst:make cite iucn|Goodrich, J., Lynam, A., Miquelle, D., Wibisono, H., Kawanishi, K., Pattanavibool, A., Htun, S., Tempa, T., Karki, J., Jhala, Y. & Karanth, U. 2015. Panthera tigris. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2015: e.T15955A50659951. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en. Downloaded on 12 August 2020.|ref=iucn}}
the following will be output on the page:
<ref name=iucn>{{cite iucn |author=Goodrich, J. |author2=Lynam, A. |author3=Miquelle, D. |author4=Wibisono, H. |author5=Kawanishi, K. |author6=Pattanavibool, A. |author7=Htun, S. |author8=Tempa, T. |author9=Karki, J. |author10=Jhala, Y. |author11=Karanth, U. |year=2015 |title=''Panthera tigris'' |volume=2015 |page=e.T15955A50659951 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en |access-date=12 August 2020}}</ref>
