This is a documentation subpage for Template:Species list. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua: Module:TaxonList

This template is one of a number intended for use in taxoboxes under the |subdivision= or |synonyms= parameters, to produce a list of taxa in a consistent format. The table below shows the behaviour of the available templates.

Use like this:

((Species list
| Spexia speciosa | Authority, 2003
| †Spexia additiona | Others et al., 2002
| Spexia typa | Describer, 1888 (type)
| Spexia dubia |
| Specia dubia ''subsp.'' maxima |
))

Both the taxon name and authority will be automatically formatted to produce:

• Spexia speciosa Authority, 2003
• †Spexia additiona Others et al., 2002
• Spexia typa Describer, 1888 (type)
• Spexia dubia
• Specia dubia subsp. maxima

Note that if the authority is not known, the "|" must still be present after the taxon name.

If a "connecting term" is present in a botanical name, such as "subsp.", "var." or "f.", then this should not be italicized. The template should automatically de-italicize connecting terms. If this fails, you can put '' either side of the connecting term to de-italicize it.

Mark incomplete lists using |incomplete=yes, which will add "(incomplete)" to the end of the list.

To automatically link the content of every taxon name, use ((Linked species list)). To bold-face the species (e.g. if they will never have their own pages, when listed in a genus article) use ((Bold species list)).

For example:

((Linked species list / ((Linked genus list
| Spexia speciosa | Authority, 2003
| †Spexia additiona | Others et al., 2002
| Spexia typa | Describer, 1888 (type)
| Spexia dubia ((!)) S. dubia | <!--creates a piped link-->
| ''[[Puma (genus) ((!)) Puma ]]'' | Jardine, 1834 <!--handles a disambiguated genus name-->
))

produces

• Spexia speciosa Authority, 2003
• †Spexia additiona Others et al., 2002
• Spexia typa Describer, 1888 (type)
• S. dubia
• Puma Jardine, 1834

Each of the three "species list" templates has a "genus list" alias.

Adding |abbreviated=yes will cause the displayed name to be abbreviated.

• Spexia speciosa Authority, 2003
• †Spexia additiona Others et al., 2002
• Spexia speciosa subsp. speciosa
• Spexia sect. Additiona

The name of an extinct taxon can be preceded by one of the following markers: † † ((extinct)). Any of them will appear as † in the output. The † will not be italicized and will not be included in a wikilink.

• ((Genus list)), ((Linked genus list)) and ((Bold genus list)) are aliases for the equivalent "Species list" templates.

• ((Taxon list)) – creates a list for taxon names which should not be italicized, i.e. taxa at ranks higher than genus
• ((Linked taxon list)) – as ((Taxon list)) but the taxon names are wikilinked
