Template:Make cite IUCN

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:

   {{make cite IUCN|}}

3. paste the IUCN example citation into the above between | and }}
4. click Publish changes; the raw template shown in Show preview becomes active

Usually within an hour, AnomieBOT will substitute the {{make cite IUCN}} with the matching {{cite IUCN}} template.

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:

{{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:

when substed gives this:

{{cite IUCN |author1=Farjon, A. |year=2013 |title=''Cupressus arizonica'' var. ''glabra'' |volume=2013 |article-number=e.T19708408A19708411 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T19708408A19708411.en |access-date=27 December 2019}}

Limitations

Substing, using the subst: prefix does not work within <ref>...</ref> tags; see Help:Substitution § Limitation. That is why this template is auto-subst'd by AnomieBOT which does work within <ref>...</ref> tags.

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 |article-number=e.T15955A50659951 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en |access-date=12 August 2020}}</ref>

Sometimes it is desirable to modify the output of {{make cite IUCN}} (wikilinks etc) before saving. One, sort of awkward, way to accomplish 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 edit and then copy/paste into the target article. The x parameter shows the italic markup in |title=.

From this original IUCN citation:

{{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.|x}}

the template returns this {{cite 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 |article-number=e.T15955A50659951 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-2.RLTS.T15955A50659951.en |access-date=12 August 2020}}
