This module was created to generate references to the Catalog of Fishes database. The capabilities were extended to handle other fish-related references and the module renamed FishRef. Further extension to cover taxonomy databases handling non-fish taxa led to creation of template . A general template and module to handle citations to a wide variety taxonomy database is the long-term goal.
The module provides a wrapper to the cite web system, which means that the references can also include general cite web parameters (e.g. |mode=cs1|2 or |quote=TEXT).
The module is used with, which was designed to replace a series of templates that were originally written in the Wikipedia template language:,,, .
Other templates using the module:
* The module currently handles ASW6, Amphibiaweb, Reptile Database, IOC, Avibase, TiF, WoRMS, POWO, GRIN, IPNI, World Plants, World Ferns, Tropicos, FNA, ATRF, Goffinet's Bryophyte classification, Algaebase, Paleobiology DB, ITIS
Usage of module: {{#invoke:FishRef|cof}}, {{#invoke:FishRef|fishbase}}, {{#invoke:FishRef|fossilworks}}, etc.
