This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
This Lua module is used on approximately 286,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module depends on the following other modules: |
This module is designed to serve as a back end for ((R from alternative scientific name))
, ((R to scientific name))
, ((R from scientific name))
, ((R to monotypic taxon))
and ((R from monotypic taxon))
.
The template parameters and recognized categories are set in Module:Science redirect/conf.
((#invoke:Science redirect|R|template name excluding 'R'))
For example, for ((R to scientific name)), you would use ((#invoke:Science redirect|R|to scientific name))
to produce:
The template parameters and recognized categories are set in Module:Science redirect/conf. Instructions on how to add data are in the comments of that file.
For debugging, add parameter |debug=true
, e.g. ((#invoke:Science redirect|R|to scientific name|debug=true))
produces:
((Redirect template

| from = a vernacular ("common") name
| id = R_to_scientific_name
| printworthy = yes
| main category = Redirects to scientific names
| to = the scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms)
