In the printed copy of MSW3, the ring-tailed lemur is found on page 117. Online, it is found on a page entitled "Lemur catta" at page id 12100056 (found in the URL). Italics are provided in the heading for species and genus names. If a heading is provided, the title link goes to the Google Books preview for MSW3.
{{MSW3 Groves | page = 117 | id = 12100056 | heading = ''Lemur catta''}}
This yields:
Groves, C. P. (2005). "Lemur catta". In Wilson, D. E.; Reeder, D. M. (eds.). Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference (3rd ed.). Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. p. 117. ISBN 0-801-88221-4. OCLC 62265494.
In the printed copy of MSW3, Primate is found on between pages 111 and 184. Online, it is found on a page entitled "Primates" at page id 12100001 (found in the URL). Italics not are provided in the heading since it is a taxonomic order.
{{MSW3 Groves | pages = 111–184 | id = 12100001 | heading = Primates}}
This yields:
Groves, C. P. (2005). "Primates". In Wilson, D. E.; Reeder, D. M. (eds.). Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference (3rd ed.). Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. pp. 111–184. ISBN 0-801-88221-4. OCLC 62265494.
When no heading is employed, it may be advantageous to use instead one of the more specific taxon-based templates ({{MSW3 Monotremata}}, {{MSW3 Notoryctemorphia}}, {{MSW3 Dasyuromorphia}}, {{MSW3 Peramelemorphia}}, {{MSW3 Diprotodontia}} or {{MSW3 Primates}}), which supply a default chapter heading.
An optional |ref=
parameter is supported but seldom used. It allows specification of reference names in Harvard references, for use in the {{citation}} template family. For example, use of |ref={{harvid}}
or |ref={{SfnRef}}
templates enables subsequent use of short-format templates like {{harvnb}} or {{sfn}} (see Yarkand hare and Long-tailed vole for examples of usage).
