 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Make cite IUCN (diff). |
 | This template uses Lua: |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Make cite IUCN}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
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
[edit]To use this template
- at an IUCN Red List species page, highlight and copy the example citation
- at the en.wiki article write:
{{make cite IUCN|}}
- paste the IUCN example citation into the above between
|and}} - 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
[edit]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:

Limitations
[edit]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 |page=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 template returns this {{cite IUCN}}:
