Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This external link template is underused, compared to the number of links to the site it represents (check here). Please help convert those links to make use of this template, for ease of tracking, and ease of interoperability with Wikidata.

Usage[edit]

Use this template to add a citation or link to a species or taxon entry listed on The Plant List database. Pair this with <ref> tags to make full citations. All parameters are optional.

Syntax[edit]

To automatically retrieve The Plant List link[edit]

Simply use the tag by itself or leave first two parameters blank to generate a citation of Wikidata's corresponding link to ThePlantList for the current article's plant species.
