Template:Cite GCD

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template creates a citation to the Global Compositae Database by wrapping {{Cite web}}.

Copy and paste

{{cite GCD |title= |id= |access-date=2026-06-23}}

Other parameters from the citation templates can be used, e.g. |mode=cs2 creates a CS2 style citation, the default being CS1.

Examples

• {{Cite GCD|title=''Teixeiranthus'' R.M.King & H.Rob..|id=1076597|access-date=2023-05-15}}</ref> →
  

The double ".." is needed because of the way that {{Cite web}} behaves; its presence ensures that a stop/period appears as part of the botanical abbreviation.

• <ref>{{Cite GCD|title=''Teixeiranthus'' R.M.King & H.Rob.|id=1076597|access-date=2023-05-15|mode=cs2}}</ref> →

Double ".." is not needed with CS2 style citations.
